About Me
My method of practice is purely evidence
based reflecting my educational background. The work that I do also
draws from my wide professional experience bringing together elements
of clinical nutriton, nutritional science, nutritional therapies and
dietetics.
My Philosophy
I know that I can come up with the 'optimum'
or 'textbook' solution to a problem, yet it will not work at all if
it doesn't fit into the client's life. Theory and past experience is
all very well, but after finding the root cause of the issue in question,
the real skill is in tailoring the plan to that particular client.
I feel the combination of real world
experience, having worked in one of the more demanding sectors of the
finance industry, as well as my skills and knowledge and personal passion
for health give me a wide and solid base from which to help people.
I take an evidence-based approach to each problem and always aim to
offer a solution that is not only the correct one for that problem but
the correct one for YOU.
All services and advice are tailored
to meet your needs, your goals and your lifestyle with the many facets
of health, fitness, work, family and social pressures taken into account.
Background
Having left university with a BSc in
Biochemistry I pursued a career in corporate finance and commodities
trading regulation. Whilst working for various institutions in the City
of London and Canary Wharf for 5 years I became increasingly interested
in health and fitness issues. With the experience and knowledge gained
from 5 years reading and training I decided to self-fund my ACSM exams
as an exercise in personal development.
What started as a serious hobby soon
blossomed into a real passion and soon I decided it was time to further
my research and undertook a masters degree in nutrition. I have not
looked back since.
Since that time I have worked both in
the UK and Australia in a variety of situations; walk-in clinics, lecturing
undergraduate Nutritional Therapists and working with numerous athletes,
personal trainers and of course private clients.
