My Story
I knew I wanted to become a nutritional therapist when I was still in secondary school. But I was advised that before specialising, I should first build a strong foundation in healthcare — so that’s exactly what I did.
I trained as a nurse at the University of the West of England and completed my placements at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. Early on, I discovered two things: I loved working with older adults, and I had a real passion for research.
Once I qualified, I spent three years working on the care of older people wards before stepping into a dual role as a research nurse and memory clinic nurse in Bath. I stayed in that role from 2007 to 2023 — and I still support their clinical trials work on a self-employed basis today.
Working so closely with people living with dementia shaped everything for me. So when the time finally came to choose my nutrition specialism, it was an easy decision — dementia support and prevention.
I’m now a Nutritional Therapist specialising in cognitive health, and I’m currently over halfway through my training in the Bredesen Protocol — a cutting-edge approach to preventing and reversing cognitive decline.
Supporting people in later life has always been my purpose. Now, I get to do it using food, science, and personalised care — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Here are the ways I help people take control of their brain health:
🎤 Talks & Workshops — for community groups, workplaces or events
🎪 Information Stalls — invite me to your event or market
👥 1:1 Support — through my personalised dementia nutrition programme
🍽️ 4-Week MIND Diet Course — learn & apply step by step
