About Me

Before starting, I was concerned that I would be asked to change to an eating regime that was totally alien to me and that it would use a lot of supplements, which was not true.

I liked the weekly check in. It kept me focused and a telephone call is fine for that. You responded with positive solutions when I was having difficulties and praised my achievements rather than dwelling on the failures but I would also say that you were firm. You didn’t let me lose sight of the goals I agreed with you and you rightly reminded me that they are MY goals not yours. I also really appreciated your punctuality

I would definitely recommend you to a friend.

I’m feeling fantastic! Having felt like something wasn’t quite right for some time I wanted to do something but wasn’t sure exactly what and I was a little apprehensive initially as I didn’t appreciate how much what we put into our bodies can have such a big effect on the way we feel and can cause unwanted symptoms.

Helen explained everything to me, at each step, in a way in which was easy for me to understand and she is obviously extremely knowledgeable.

The recipes she gave to me were tailored to my needs and around what I did/didn’t like to eat and she also took into account the fact that I often cook for my children and partner.

I now feel like I have a much better understanding as to what are the right and wrong foods for me.

She’s very approachable and friendly and I enjoyed the weekly check-in sessions to make sure I was on the right track but I could also contact her at any other time for help. Thank you so much!!

Helen was easy to talk to. I found her extremely knowledgeable and professional. She gave me personal advice and signposting on food, supplements, exercise and a blood test after listening carefully to my concerns and needs.

The meal plans she put together for me are great. The food is delicious and I feel inspired to cook again! It tastes so good, I wonder why I haven’t been eating like this all my life?! After only a short time I already feel some improvement in my energy levels and am feeling more positive that it’s possible to really make a difference to how I feel by eating well, exercising, getting the right nutrients and sleep. I know it seems obvious and it’s what we are told all the time, but having this thorough personal and specific assessment, information and encouragement, I feel will really make a difference, long term, to the choices I make.

I had a few worries before starting the programme including if I would have the dedication to my own health. I knew I would need to put work into my health to make the changes. Also, my reaction with supplements before has been quite negative, so I worried about this.

I liked that you showed patience with me. The care you took to look into the issues I was having gave me confidence in the advice you gave me.

Helen is knowledgable, kind and caring. All the attributes you want from a health care professional.

I am now, for the first time in a 20-year struggle around food, shopping and inactivity, enjoying shopping, cooking, eating and activity. Somewhere I desperately wanted to be when I first met Helen but felt was unachievable. I cannot thank Helen enough or the friend who first recommended her. Helen is simply a nurturing mentor who has immense knowledge not just about nutrition but about people’s emotions and she is an excellent coach.

Thanks Helen

Helen helped me with my diet as I was asked to do the fodmap diet by my specialist doctor. I found this really hard but Helen helped me to start the diet. Her help and professional advice has helped me greatly with my diet & my illness. Helen is so supportive I would highly recommend her.  Thank you Helen for helping me to understand food, my gut & brain
