Nutrition consultation
Initial consultation – £87 – up to 90 minutes
Follow-up appointment – £45– 60 minutes
As a Registered Nutritionist, I work with women who want to understand their health better, feel more comfortable in their bodies and make positive changes to the way they eat and live. I believe nutrition shouldn't be about strict diets, deprivation or trying to change everything at once. Instead, I take time to listen to you, understand what you're experiencing and look at the bigger picture of your diet, lifestyle, wellbeing and individual circumstances. My approach is practical, supportive and personalised, helping you make small, manageable changes that feel realistic for your life.
I work particularly with women's health, including perimenopause and menopause, digestive health, gut health, low energy, general wellbeing and nutritional support around changing health needs.
Your First Consultation
Your first appointment gives us time to really explore what's been going on for you.
Before your appointment, I'll send you a health questionnaire to complete. This gives me an opportunity to understand your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, eating habits and anything else you feel is important. During our consultation, we'll talk through your answers in more detail and look at your individual circumstances.
Where appropriate, I can also carry out basic health checks as part of your consultation, such as:
- Blood pressure
- Pulse
- Blood glucose
- Cholesterol
We'll then discuss practical ways in which nutrition and lifestyle may support your health and wellbeing.
You won't be given a one-size-fits-all diet plan. Instead, we'll work together to identify the changes that are most relevant to you and that you feel able to make.
What We May Explore
Depending on your individual needs, we may look at areas such as:
- Digestive and gut health
- Perimenopause and menopause
- Hormonal health and changing nutritional needs
- Energy and vitality
- Blood sugar balance
- Eating habits and food choices
- Lifestyle and wellbeing
- Supporting your body through periods of change
- Food sensitivities and your relationship with food
- Nutritional support alongside other health concerns
Nutrition can be a powerful part of looking after yourself, but it doesn't have to be complicated Sometimes a few small changes can make a meaningful difference to how you feel.
Your Personalised Nutrition Plan
Following your consultation, I'll provide my written recommendations based on what we've discussed, this may include suggestions around food, nutrients, lifestyle and daily habits. I'll explain the reasons behind my recommendations so that you understand why you're making a change, rather than simply being handed a list of things you should or shouldn't eat. My aim is to give you knowledge and confidence, so that you can make informed choices for yourself. You are also able to contact me within the first 7 days should you need any clarification on any aspect of what we discussed during your appointment.
Follow-Up Appointments
A follow-up appointment is usually arranged around 4–6 weeks after your initial consultation, depending on your individual circumstances. This gives you time to put your recommendations into practice without feeling rushed.
During your follow-up, we'll review how you've been getting on, discuss any changes you've noticed and make adjustments where appropriate. Your plan can evolve as you do.
Online Personalised Nutrition Plan
£50 – no appointment required
If you'd prefer to work with me remotely, I also offer a personalised nutrition plan without an appointment. You'll complete a detailed questionnaire and provide me with information about your health, lifestyle, eating habits and anything else you'd like me to consider.
I'll then take the time to review everything you've provided and create personalised nutritional recommendations based on your individual needs and goals.
Your plan will be emailed to you, giving you practical suggestions that you can work through in your own time. This is a simple option if you don't feel you need a consultation or would prefer to receive your recommendations remotely.
Food Sensitivity / IgG Testing
£88 – results typically available within approximately 60 minutes
I also offer an in-clinic food sensitivity IgG blood test. The test uses a small finger-prick blood sample and provides a report looking at IgG antibody responses to a range of foods.
If you are experiencing persistent, severe or concerning symptoms, I always recommend speaking with your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.
Supplements
In some circumstances, nutritional supplements may form part of your personalised recommendations. If I feel a supplement may be useful, I'll explain why I've suggested it and how it fits into your overall approach. I don't believe that supplements should replace a healthy, varied diet, and I take a considered approach to recommending them.
Nutrition at The Natural Therapy Centre
I offer nutritional consultations from my cosy, purpose-built therapy cabin in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, as well as online appointments where appropriate. The cabin is a warm, private and nurturing space where you can take some time for yourself and talk openly about your health and wellbeing. I work with women on an individual basis and take the time to listen without judgement.
