I've been getting quite a few questions about whether the Mini Wellness Reset is the right fit, so let me help you figure that out.

✨ It's perfect for you if:

You know something's "off" but you're not sure what. You're dealing with a niggly symptom like bloating, headaches, or brain fog, but you can't quite put your finger on what's causing them.

You want to feel better but you don't want to overhaul your whole life. You're looking for practical changes that actually fit into your real routine, not some perfect Instagram version of life.

You're tired of conflicting advice. One source says one thing, another says the opposite, and you're stuck not knowing who to believe or where to start.

You want a starting point, not a complete lifestyle makeover. You don't need every area of your health addressed right now - you just want to understand what's going on and get some clear next steps.

You're ready to invest 45 minutes in feeling better. Not hours of appointments or lengthy programmes, just focused time to get clarity and a plan.

✨ It's probably NOT for you if:

You're looking for weight loss support, need help managing multiple complex symptoms, or have a diagnosed health condition that needs more comprehensive support. (That's what my longer programmes are for - just ask me about them.)

The reality?

Most people I work with are fed up with feeling "meh" and just want someone to help them make sense of what's happening. They don't want complicated protocols or dramatic changes - they want simple, clear guidance that works.

Sound like you?

I only have a few October spots left for the Mini Wellness Reset. Once they're gone, they’re gone.

If you're ready to stop second-guessing yourself and get some actual answers, now's the time.

Please DM me for the details, or if you have any questions 🧡

Tell me if you’ve done this before…

It’s Sunday evening. You’re trying to wind down from the weekend. But instead of relaxing, you’re down another Google rabbit hole trying to figure out why you feel the way you do.

One article says it’s gluten.
Another says you need more fibre.
Someone on Instagram swears by probiotics.
Your friend mentioned cutting out dairy.
TikTok says it’s all about gut health but has 47 different opinions on how to fix it.

And now? You’re overwhelmed, confused, and no closer to actually feeling better.

Plus you’ve wasted your entire evening and you’re still scrolling at 10pm.

Here’s what I know: Dr. Google isn’t personalised to YOU.

Those articles don’t know about your specific symptoms, your lifestyle, your food preferences, or what’s actually realistic for you to change.

That’s why people stay stuck in the research phase for months (sometimes years) without actually making progress.

What if you could skip the endless scrolling and just get answers that are specific to your situation?

That’s exactly what my Mini Wellness Reset does.

No conflicting advice.
No information overload.
Just 45 minutes with someone who can actually help you make sense of what your body is telling you.

You get a clear 3-step plan tailored to YOUR life, not a generic “this works for everyone” approach that leaves you guessing.

Don’t let October fly by.
Don’t spend another Sunday evening going down the Google rabbit hole.
Get actual answers instead.

Ready to stop researching and start feeling better? I have a handful of October spots left. DM me RESET for the details.

Let's be real - summer isn’t exactly peak healthy routine season, is it?

Ice cream every other day? Yes.
Holiday cocktails? Absolutely.
Skipping breakfast because you're already late for the beach? Guilty.
Eating lunch at 3pm because you lost track of time? This is me most days at the moment.

And honestly? That's exactly what summer should be.

Relaxed. Unstructured. Fun.

But now it's October and you're probably feeling the effects. Maybe you're more bloated than usual. Maybe your energy is all over the place. Maybe you just feel... off.

Here's the thing though - you don't need a drastic overhaul to get back on track.

You don't need to punish yourself with restrictive eating or complicated detoxes. You just need to gently guide your body back to what makes it feel good.

Autumn is actually the perfect time for this. You're naturally falling back into routine anyway, so why not make it work FOR you instead of waiting until January when everyone else is trying to do the same thing?

My Mini Wellness Reset is designed exactly for this moment. It's not about undoing summer (those memories were worth it!). It's about understanding what your body needs NOW to feel energised, comfortable, and like yourself again.

45 minutes. Three simple steps. No guilt, no restriction, just clarity.

And you've still got time to feel amazing before Christmas hits.

Ready to feel like yourself again? I have just a few spots left for October. Comment RESET and I’ll send you the details.

What exactly is a Mini Wellness Reset?

It's NOT:

❌ Another restrictive diet
❌ A complete lifestyle overhaul
❌ Hours of appointments
❌ Complicated protocols or expensive supplements

It IS:

✅ A 7-day food diary (5 minutes a day)
✅ A focused 45-minute consultation where we figure out what's actually going on
✅ A personalised 3-step plan with easy swaps for YOUR life
✅ Clarity instead of confusion
✅ A starting point that doesn't feel overwhelming

Think of it as the express route to understanding what your body needs. No fluff, no fuss, just practical answers tailored to you.

Perfect if you've been feeling "off" but don't know where to start. Or if you're tired of conflicting health advice and just want someone to tell you what actually matters for YOUR situation.

I've got 6 of these sessions left until the end of October. They're designed for people who are ready to actually feel good again - without the overwhelm.

Ready to stop guessing and start feeling better? I'll pop the link to book your Mini Wellness Reset in the comments - or DM me if you have any questions 🧡

Harriet, a busy mum of two, came to me frustrated and tired of living with psoriasis.

She’d dealt with red, itchy patches on her elbows, arms, knees and scalp for years, and they’d only gotten worse since her last pregnancy. A sunny holiday brought some relief, but even steroid creams from her GP weren’t cutting it.

People on the street and the kids at school were all asking ‘What’s wrong with your skin?'.

Harriet decided it was time to do something about it and, on my recommendation, bought a stool test to take a deeper dive into her body.

As a nutritional therapist, I know everyone’s psoriasis is unique, but the gut plays a key role in our health and can impact skin conditions.

With Harriet’s results, we started uncovering her root causes:

🔹 Low gut microbiome diversity (affecting immune resilience)
🔹 Low SIgA levels (making skin recovery harder)
🔹 High candida levels (which can worsen psoriasis)

So, with this information, I produced a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan that centred around:

✨ Adding diverse, nutrient-rich foods to support her microbiome
✨ Managing her stress - a major trigger for psoriasis flare-ups
✨ Removing certain foods temporarily to see their impact

Within just three weeks, Harriet noticed real improvements - not just less itchy and red patches, but better skin on her face, and more energy too.

If you or someone you know is struggling with psoriasis, book a free chat with me and let’s get to the root cause of it together.

📣 "I'll start looking after myself properly after this busy period."
📣 "Once Christmas is over, I'll focus on my health."
📣 "When things calm down, I'll sort out my eating."

Sound familiar?

Here's the truth bomb: there's ALWAYS something going on.

Next month it's half-term. Then it's someone's birthday. Then Christmas preparations kick in. Then it's actually Christmas. Then January recovery mode. Then Easter...

I've been working with clients long enough to know that waiting for the ‘perfect time’ usually means waiting forever.

And meanwhile? You're still dealing with the afternoon energy crashes. Still feeling bloated after meals. Still getting those niggling headaches that you've learned to just accept as normal.

But what if I told you that right now (yes, even with everything you've got on) is actually the perfect time to start?

My Mini Wellness Reset isn't about overhauling your entire life.

It's not about finding 2 hours a day for meal prep or giving up everything you enjoy.

It's 45 minutes to understand what your body actually needs, and three simple steps that work with your real life, not against it.

Because small changes now beat big plans that never happen.

September is actually ideal - you're back into a routine after summer, but you've still got time to feel the difference before the Christmas chaos hits.

Your body is asking for help right now, so are you ready to stop waiting and start feeling better?

How many times have you said "I'm fine" when someone asks how you're feeling?

But let's be honest - are you REALLY fine?

If you're waking up tired, relying on caffeine to function, feeling bloated after meals, or crashing every afternoon... that's not fine. That's your body waving a flag saying "help me."

We've become so used to feeling "meh" that we think it's normal. Especially as we’re busy juggling work, family, and everything else - we tell ourselves everyone feels this way.

But here's the thing: "fine" isn't the same as feeling GOOD.

You deserve to wake up with energy. To eat without discomfort. To feel steady and strong throughout your day. To feel like YOURSELF again.

Your body is trying to tell you something. The question is: are you ready to listen?

If "fine" isn't good enough anymore, my Mini Wellness Reset might be exactly what you need. 45 minutes to understand what your body is asking for, and a clear plan to start feeling better.

Thinking about seeing a nutritional therapist, but feeling a bit nervous?

You're not alone!

Many of my clients felt the same way before we started working together. But here's what they want you to know about the reality of nutritional therapy...

It's not about scary consultations or complicated jargon.

It's about finally being heard, understood, and supported on your health journey.

Hi everyone 👋🏻

If you’re new around here, welcome! Every now and then I like to reintroduce myself - because behind the nutrition info, health tips (and videos of my feet), there’s a real human here.

I’m a nutritional therapist, passionate about helping people with chronic symptoms feel like themselves again - healthier, happier and more in control of their lives.

🏡 I live in Cheltenham, but I’m originally from Wolverhampton.

⚽ I’m a home and away season ticket holder at Wolves (that’s how I met my husband, Clive).

🐱 We have two cats:
– Cassie (clinic supervisor and micromanager)
– Leo (chief snoozer and bird enthusiast)

🍫🍰🍕 I love chocolate, cake and pizza. And I also love running… or at least I did, until a diagnosis of severe osteoarthritis in one knee left me barely able to climb the stairs. It felt devastating at the time.

But I’m nothing if not tenacious.

I started strength training, changed my diet, and researched everything I could to keep going. Now, 8 years later, I’ve completed two marathons and I’m back to bounding up those stairs again.

That journey is exactly why I became a nutritional therapist. Because when you’re living with chronic symptoms, it’s easy to feel stuck, unheard, and unsure where to turn.

I take a root-cause approach, using personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support people like you - whether it's skin flare-ups, gut chaos, or joint pain that makes everyday life harder than it needs to be.

So that’s me. Say Hi 👋🏻 in the comments. It would be nice to meet you!

📢 “I’ve just started having smoothies again and my symptoms haven’t returned!”

This message from a client made me so happy.

When you link a recurring symptom to a particular food, it’s easy to feel anxious - and to believe you’ll never eat that food again.

You’re not alone in feeling this way.

Symptoms can appear anywhere from an hour to a few days later, which makes it tricky to pinpoint the exact culprit.

That’s why I work with clients to gently eliminate and then reintroduce foods, one at a time.

Alongside that, we work on getting the gut into a stronger place, so it can handle those foods better in the future.

The goal isn’t to cut foods out forever. It’s to give you clarity, confidence, and freedom around what you eat.

If you think certain foods are triggering your symptoms and want to see if you could enjoy them again - without the anxiety - drop me a message.

I recently talked about why a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition doesn’t work.

We’re all biologically made up differently.

We all require different amounts of vitamins and minerals.

Undertaking a genetics test a year ago gave me a clearer idea of where my body needs extra support and what I need to be more mindful of:

⬆ diabetes risk = learning to keep my blood sugars and weight balanced - and inflammation reduced.

Sluggish liver = an ⬆ risk of gut issues, skin sensitivities and chronic diseases, so I’ve increased my intake of sulphur-rich foods such as dark leafy greens, onion and garlic - and I try to stay well-hydrated.

⬆ risk of chronic inflammation = ⬆ risk of diabetes, heart disease, arthritis (and many other conditions), so I’ve adopted a (mostly) anti-inflammatory diet, manage my stress levels and make sure I get enough sleep.

A genetic variant on the BCO1 gene = a ⬇ ability to convert beta-carotene to the ready-to-use form of vitamin A (present in eggs, dairy and organ meats). This could impact my immune, eye and skin health so I’ve increased my intake of yellow, orange and green leafy vegetables and fruits.

A poor ability to make vitamin D = a negative impact on my bone health, immune system, heart health, to name a few, so I supplement vitamin D all year to make sure my levels are optimal.

⬆ gluten sensitivity = this can cause gut problems, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain and skin issues, so I’m trying (it’s a work-in-progress!) to reduce my intake as I really notice when I have consumed gluten.

Being armed with this information has given me a clearer idea of what I need to prioritise nutritionally to feel better - but also to reduce my risk of developing disease that my body is set up for.

If you’re curious about how you should be eating for YOUR body, get in touch and let’s have a chat.

This is what Harriet, a busy mum of two, told me after we’d been working together for a few weeks.

She’d been dealing with red, itchy patches on her elbows, arms, knees and scalp for years, and they’d only gotten worse since her last pregnancy. A sunny holiday brought some relief, but even steroid creams from her GP weren’t cutting it.

People on the street and the kids at school were all asking ‘What’s wrong with your skin?'.

Harriet decided it was time to do something about it and, on my recommendation, bought a stool test to take a deeper dive into her body.

As a nutritional therapist, I know everyone’s psoriasis is unique, but the gut plays a key role in our health and can impact skin conditions.

With Harriet’s results, we started uncovering her root causes:

🔹 Low gut microbiome diversity (affecting immune resilience)
🔹 Low SIgA levels (making skin recovery harder)
🔹 High candida levels (which can worsen psoriasis)

So, with this information, I produced a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan that centred around:

✨ Adding diverse, nutrient-rich foods to support her microbiome
✨ Managing her stress - a major trigger for psoriasis flare-ups
✨ Removing certain foods temporarily to see their impact

Within just three weeks, Harriet noticed real improvements:

“Before I came to see Andrea, I felt a bit lost and out of control with my eating habits and I hadn’t realised the effect these were not only having on my psoriasis but also my physical and mental health.

My psoriasis patches are less angry now and my scalp has stopped itching. I’ve got better skin all round – not just improved psoriasis but also on my face. I’ve noticed my energy levels have increased too.”

If you or someone you know is struggling with psoriasis or another type of skin condition, let's chat and get to the root cause of it together.
