About Claire |
|
I am a qualified Nutritional Therapist and coach, graduating from the British College of Nutrition & Health (BCNH) and have a Bachelor of Science degree (BSc.) from University of Greenwich, London, UK.
I am a member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT), which works to promote high standards of education, training, practice and integrity in the nutrition profession. I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) whose key function is to enhance public protection by setting standards for registration.
I have always had an interest in health and healthy eating - health and fitness are of paramount importance to me and my family. After a long term interest in nutrition I decided to become a nutritional therapist after witnessing the benefits of nutritional therapy on my own health and well-being after 20 years in the financial services sector where stress and the ability to eat on the run were almost seen as prerequisites for promotion. Re-training and gaining my formal nutritional qualifications, first-hand experience of combining a healthy lifestyle with a busy, stressful job and motherhood convinced me that I could help others!
Moving to the West Country and being able to grow my own fruit and vegetables, bake and cook has been a blessing. I absolutely believe in the power of nutrition and the effect it can have on every aspect of our health, vitality, performance and general well-being.
I have a particular interest in energy management and nutrition for sports performance and have delivered talks to sports scholars and provided additional nutritional information for students undertaking BTEC Sports & Exercise within their Sports Nutrition module as well as having a number of clients who want to improve their performance. My dissertation was on nutrition for academic achievement, which has received attention from various quarters in education.
Services offered include nutritional support for a wide range of conditions:

Nutritional TherapyNutritional therapy is the application of evidence-based nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care.
Nutritional therapy is not a substitute for medical advice and I always refer any client with 'red flag' signs or symptoms to their GP. Nutritional therapists frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare practitioners involved in a client's care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been recommended. |
About Nutritional ConsultationsBefore the initial consultation I ask each of my clients to complete a detailed health questionnaire and a 5 day food and drink diary.
During the initial 90 minute consultation I will find out more about your symptoms / health goals, including any tests that you may have had with your GP or consultant and may recommend further functional tests. At the end of the consultation I will provide you with targeted dietary and lifestyle recommendations and together we will agree your personal action plan to follow in order to make positive changes. I recommend a follow up appointment 4 weeks after the initial consultation to check on progress and to see if further recommendations can be made. |
