"Laila has many amazing qualities and genuinely cares about her clients. Laila appreciates our differences and understands that each person has their own set of goals, which she takes into account when helping to build the perfect plan for each individual client. No question is a silly question, Laila always has a welcoming smile, an open approachable manner and time to encourage, motivate and where necessary push her clients.  I look forward to receiving my post-appointment email, which always encourages me to keep going and contains good nutritional advice and new recipes to try, all of which have been researched with my personal tastes in mind.   When I have struggled in between appointments, Laila has literally been an email away and has responded to me very quickly with good advice to help keep me on track. Thank you Laila."

"...a really comprehensive and detailed plan and  I was very impressed with our consultation and the thoroughness in which you build  up a composite picture."

"I had my first pre-diabetic meeting today and I was given a blood test. The results came back as normal, so I'm out of danger...your advice has worked!"

"I am so grateful. I hardly ever suffer from my acid reflux symptoms anymore (and when I do, I now know why). I hardly ever take Lansoprazole or Gaviscon now. Changing my diet has made things so much better and I feel great because of it!"

WHY CHOOSE AN ASSOCIATION FOR NUTRITION ACCREDITED NUTRITIONIST?

An Association for Nutrition (AfN) accredited undergraduate or postgraduate degree is the optimal nutrition-based qualification, guaranteeing that an AfN nutritionist has undertaken evidence-based training and met a qualification recognised by the NHS. The evidence-based distinction between nutritionists and nutritional therapists is important; evidence-based means scientifically proven, i.e. what tells you whether something works or not and whether it could do any harm. This ensures that you are getting advice that is both safe and accurate.
