Change
your diet, change your life is my motto and it certainly works.
Even a few simple changes to your daily diet can make a positive
improvement to how you feel and the way that your body works.
It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.

My story
begins in 1998. I had spent the year feeling generally unwell;
I gained
weight, was tired and irritable, and had
headaches almost everyday. I went to the doctor but although
she was sympathetic she could find nothing wrong with me.
I might have remained feeling that way to this day if a
local chemist had not been offering a free test for food intolerances.
The results suggested I was intolerant to cheese, mushrooms
and yeast. At first I could not see the link between
these three foods, but I was advised to buy
a book on Candida Albicans. I bought the book and took it home to read:
and as I read it I cried. It described exactly how I had been
feeling for months,
and even told me what I could begin to do about it. It was a great weight
off my mind to discover that I was not alone and that
something could be done about
my symptoms. The relief was enormous!
I began the anti-candida diet and anti-fungal program while
my husband was on his annual trip to India – when he
returned after three weeks he hardly recognized me. I had
lost weight and the puffiness around my face had disappeared.
More importantly, I was feeling better: no more headaches and irritability.
But that was just the first step. I had made a good start
but found I couldn’t
continue without help from an experienced Nutrition Therapist. In searching
for a therapist I discovered the Institute of Optimum Nutrition and the following
year enrolled as a student – giving up my teaching job the year after
that. My goal is to provide people with the kind of relief that I felt when
I first picked up that book on Candida Albicans and offer help for people
with chronic, debilitating, but unexplained symptoms. Change your diet, change
your
life.
I qualified as a Nutrition Therapist two
years ago and today I work in three clinics in South Yorkshire
as a Nutrition Consultant. Information can be
found on the Clinic page. I am writing a book for parents and teachers
of pupils
with ADHD and other behaviour and cognitive disorders. I speak at Conferences
and run training programmes. I also teach meditation for stress reduction
and can combine this with nutrition to provide a corporate package aimed
at reducing
absenteeism through stress related disorders. Information about all of
these can be found on the Training page.
Before becoming a Nutrition Therapist I was a schoolteacher
for 20 years, firstly teaching science and then working with
children with special needs.
I set up
and ran a unit within a mainstream comprehensive for children whose problems
and poor behaviour put them at risk of exclusion. I trained teachers on
the management of these pupils and worked with parents helping
them to develop
coping strategies. In the final year of this work I was able to advise
parents on nutrition and saw the immense benefit of combining
my methods of behaviour
management with proper nutrition and supplementation.
