Welcome to Nutrition for Health Solutions Website
My background
My interest in health began as a teenager and I have always wanted to help people to have good health. Whilst working as a nurse, I needed to attend a complementary medicine practitioner for a health situation that was not improving with medicine. I found that although I thought my diet was healthy, I needed to make some dietary changes to return to good health naturally. I was amazed at the results and wondered why as a qualified nurse I had found the answer to my health problem outside my own profession. This experience made me very interested to learn more about natural ways to help people, and I became interested at looking generally at people’s diet and health.
I went onto study for a Diploma in Aromatherapy in 1990 and have enjoyed the variety of people and their health conditions I have been privileged to work alongside. As my hunger for helping people to better health through a wholistic approach grew, I realized that whatever discipline of medicine one chooses, without the foundation of nourishing our bodies correctly and not abusing them with wrong choices, we will not see total health.
I studied with the Plaskett Nutritional Medicine College, (now integrated into Thames Valley University) under Dr Lawrence Plaskett, a well known biochemist, and gained Diplomas in Nutrition and Nutritional Medicine (D.N.Med).
