"I approached Claire for help with my nutrition in the run up to an Ironman 70.3 race. Claire identified a lack of carbohydrate in my diet relative to the amount of training I was doing and put together a structure to increase this which helped my energy levels while training and my recovery. Claire also developed a proper carbo loading strategy for me for the last week before the race which I felt was very successful on the day, helping me to a significant new PB. Importantly, Claire has also been on the end of the email or phone for ad hoc questions and help throughout the process. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Claire to refine my nutrition even further to take on my next challenge! "

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 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 wellbeing.
I have a particular interest in performance and energy management 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.
I continue to study and learn as scientific research is constantly evolving in the nutritional field and in September 2019 became a Clinical Tutor for final year students at BCNH College of Nutrition and Health (the college that I trained at) and hope in my own small way to add to the body of knowledge in the fields of nutritional therapy and coaching.
