I have had a keen interest in nutrition and health from a young age. After having my children, I wanted to deepen my knowledge in these areas and embarked on studying nutrition at university.

​

Training

I studied nutrition, food and health, obtaining a first class honours degree and was awarded a prize for outstanding academic achievement. Since then I have undertaken thousands of hours of continued professional education, including research that has led to positive changes in nutrition provision in healthcare settings. I never tire of learning and continue deepening my knowledge, which I share with my clients.
