Here to help you on your midlife journey
As a nutritional therapist, I believe that eating should be pleasurable, and what we eat should provide us with the building blocks for optimal physical and mental health. Midlife doesn't have to mean accepting fatigue, weight struggles, or bloating as “the new normal”.
Using evidence-based nutritional therapy and functional medicine, I help women in midlife reclaim their vitality by addressing the root causes of their symptoms.
I can work with you to help you with the following health areas:
-
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine goes beyond surface symptoms to uncover why your body isn't functioning optimally in midlife. Whether it's underlying gut dysfunction driving weight gain, hormone imbalances causing energy crashes, hidden nutrient deficiencies affecting your mood, or chronic inflammation sabotaging your health, my functional medicine approach focuses on personalised nutritional solutions.
-
Gut Health
A healthy gut is central to overall wellbeing, especially during midlife when hormonal changes can disrupt your digestive balance. My gut health services target common issues like persistent bloating, IBS symptoms, and food sensitivities that leave you wondering why you can't eat what you used to. Through personalised nutritional therapy, we'll identify what's triggering your digestive distress and restore your gut's natural function, helping you improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and feel comfortable in your body again.
-
Women’s Health
Women's health requires specialised care that adapts to your hormonal journey from issues with periods to menopause. Whether you're struggling with painful or unpredictable cycles, PMS symptoms that disrupt your life, or navigating the challenging transition through perimenopause and menopause, I provide tailored nutritional therapy to help restore hormonal balance. My approach addresses the root causes behind mood swings, weight changes, sleep disruption, and energy fluctuations, helping you feel balanced and confident throughout every hormonal transition.

Metabolic Balance™ For Weight Loss
Tired of diets that work temporarily then leave you heavier than before? The Metabolic Balance™ programme offers a science-backed, individualised approach to sustainable weight loss. Using your unique blood markers, I create a personalised nutrition plan that works with your hormones and metabolism, not against them. This isn't about restriction or willpower - it's about understanding what your body specifically needs to release stubborn weight and maintain your results long-term.
20 years of Expertise in Nutrition and Functional Medicine
As a BANT-registered nutritional therapist with nearly two decades of experience, I've helped hundreds of women in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scotland and beyond reclaim their health through personalised functional medicine and nutrition. My expertise focuses on understanding the root causes why midlife women struggle with weight, hormones, and gut health - not just addressing the symptoms.
Majority of women who come to me belong to one of two camps: either they think there is nothing they can do improve digestive symptoms/ feel less anxious/ sleep better/ have more energy and that these symptoms are just a '“normal part of life”, OR they are completely overwhelmed with often conflicting claims on what they should do from their social media feeds, and they just don’t know where to start.
If you belong to either of these 2 camps then my promise to you is:
There is often SO much that you can do from a dietary and lifestyle perspective to help improve your quality of life. My job is to guide you to find out what it is that you need.
I’ll crowd out the noise around “should I do this or that” and give you a plan based on your unique health history and symptoms.
Expert Nutrition and Wellness Insights
-
Tiredness in midlife is often linked to hormone changes, blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, or gut health issues. A personalised nutrition approach can help identify the root causes and restore your energy.
-
Many women I work with come to me because the standard tests show “normal” and they feel dismissed and still don’t feel well. Functional nutrition looks deeper at lifestyle, gut, and hormone factors that may still be affecting your physical and mental health.
-
Many women notice improvements in energy, digestion, or sleep within a few weeks, though deeper hormone or gut changes may take a few months. Everyone’s timeline is different, depending on the root causes and their life circumstances.
-
Both. I see clients in person at the Edinburgh Clinic of Nutrition from Scotland and also work online, so you can get support wherever you are.
-
No — my approach isn’t about strict diets or deprivation. We focus on balance, flexibility, and finding enjoyable foods that support your health while still allowing room for the things you love.
