About Eat Yourself Better
My story
From early childhood I struggled with my weight and body image. I had always loved my food and put on weight easily. Unfortunately, being an early developer, I was bigger than my friends at school and have gone through life having body issues and living on a permanent diet. Over the years I have tried every fad diet, always putting weight loss before health and nutrition.
I reached a point when my children had grown up and I wanted a change of career. Being really interested in health and wellness, I started looking around for something that inspired me. I discovered a three-year course with CNM studying Naturopathic Nutrition so I bit the bullet and signed up. I absolutely loved it and went on to qualify.
Since then, putting into practice all the things I learnt, I can finally eat the most amazing food, feel full after eating, keep my weight stable and have loads of energy. I rarely get migraines now and if I do they are so mild I can manage them without medication.
I now run my own business – Eat Yourself Better – which aims to empower clients to live their healthiest life with the support and knowledge they need to make the best choices for them, for life. I love what I do, and I hope this shines through in my work.
When I am not working I love to spend time with my family, horses and dog Luna. I love baking (healthy and not-so healthy), running, walking, dog agility and reading.

Where I'm based
My clinic is based at my home on the beautiful South Shropshire Cleehill. We are on the Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire border. The one good thing to come out of the pandemic is we are now open to using technology to our advantage so I also see clients by video link if they prefer, enabling consultations with people nationwide.
I am a full member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT). I am committed to staying current and up-to-date with the most recent research and health news. I attend seminars, workshops, lectures and webinars for my continued professional development.
