About Christabel
My health issues started around the age of 40. I’d recently stopped working due to feeling stressed and a bit burned out, and was then knocked by pneumonia. Over the following 18 months I developed terrible eczema, swollen eyes, chronic hay-fever, PMS and constantly felt tired. I was struggling through the day on caffeine, grazing on snacks and not eating proper meals.
After seeing a Nutritional Therapist, I found making simple changes to my diet empowering and life changing. I felt well, and my allergic reactions and PMS symptoms reduced in frequency. That is when I realised, I wanted a career in Nutritional Therapy.
Although I had worked in high street fashion for nearly 20 years, I previously studied biology at university and had always been interested in health, eating well, and understanding how the body worked. I spent the following four years training at the highly respected Institute for Optimum Nutrition graduating with a distinction in Nutritional Therapy (DipION).
What is nutritional therapy and how can it help?
Are you experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, or endometriosis?
Issues such as hormone imbalance, anxiety, brain fog, skin and hair changes, weight gain, bloating, digestive discomfort, fatigue, low mood, irregular menstrual cycles, fertility challenges, or low libido can all be signs that your body’s internal balance needs support.
Nutritional therapy takes an evidence-based, whole-body approach. It looks at how the body’s systems interact and how your diet and lifestyle influence your overall health and well-being. Every person is unique, which is why nutritional therapy focuses on you — your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your goals.
I’m passionate about helping women take charge of their health and feel their best. Using a step-by-step, health-coaching approach, I provide personalised nutritional guidance tailored to your individual needs. My philosophy is “food first,” but I may also recommend functional testing or supplements where appropriate to help you achieve optimal results.
