Patricia, your nutritional therapist
Meet Patricia
I love working with my clients to design the most effective and practical solutions for them. After all, our greatest wealth is our health and it is amazing how small steps can make a huge difference in our wellbeing.
I am a member of BANT (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council).
My Story
Fighting recurrent infections: My journey to become a Nutritional Therapist.
For many years, I managed a large team in a big corporation. I enjoyed my job and the people I worked with but the long hours in the office, the lack of exercise and the regular “lunches” consisting of a bag of crisps or a chocolate bar consumed in front of my computer screen began to take a toll on my health.
I developed recurrent chest infections that lasted for weeks and sometimes months, and I suffered from debilitating migraines. I frequently felt exhausted and struggled to concentrate. It became clear to me that I needed to change my habits in order to improve my health. I focused on strengthening my immune system and boosting my energy levels. I modified my diet, changed some lifestyle habits (such as quitting smoking and increasing exercise), and as a result, my health improved dramatically.
During this journey, I developed a deep interest in biology and the intricate relationships between the food we consume, our environment, our lifestyle choices, and our overall well-being. This led me to enrol in a three-year diploma in nutrition at the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Today, I embrace the role of a “health detective,” dedicated to empowering others to enhance their health and wellbeing. I’ve discovered that even minor adjustments can lead to substantial improvements in one’s quality of life.
My Philosophy
Our fast-changing world and modern lifestyle put a lot of pressure on us: we try to achieve many professional and personal goals, to fulfil an increasing number of demands with little time to reflect on oneself and our health. It often leads to poor food choices, high level of stress and might generate body imbalances that will affect our health and wellbeing.
Besides, the numerous and, at times, misleading health claims and diet information available in the media create a lot of confusion and raise many questions that can add an extra load of anxiety.
“Is this food good or bad for me?”
“Am I doing the right thing for me and my family?”
It is where I will be able to assist you as a nutritional therapist.
Whether you need help to make the right decisions when it comes to your food and lifestyle choices, to optimise your health, to boost your energy or to manage stress and anxiety levels, I will be there to empower you and support you to achieve your goals.
