Experience and Professionalism
I’m a fully registered Nutritional Therapist, Naturopath, Lactation Consultant ad Wellbeing Coach, with Diplomas in Naturopathy, Nutritional Therapy, Business Analysis and a BSc degree in Psychology (Hons). I am a member of BANT, the British Association for Nutritional and Lifestyle Medicine; Lactation Consultants of Great Britain and registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.
I have been studying what works for health for almost as long as I can remember. My mother managed to rid herself of rheumatoid arthritis using food when she was in her fifties. I never realised how rare that was, at the time. I began researching my own chronic, debilitating eczema and multiple allergies when I was twenty. It took me fifteen years to find what worked – then I finally managed to get rid of the eczema in fifteen days.
I trained as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to help other mothers and babies avoid the health issues I went through as a baby, so I knew a great deal about infant feeding, milk, disrupted immune systems and disease. IBCLC is a recognised Allied Health Professional qualification, equivalent to a Masters degree.
I followed that up with the three year Diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition (Dip NT), with a further Diploma in Naturopathy (Dip.Nat) and Wellbeing Coaching, accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management.
This was on top of my Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc) in Psychology, where I specialised in Developmental Psychology, Psychology and Medicine, Psychopathology and Mental Handicap. I was also trained in counselling by the Samaritans and Relate, for the university’s Students’ Counselling Service, Niteline.
On top of the this rewarding work, I also reviewed the research base and draft guidelines for the National Institute for Care and Health Excellence (NICE) for over seven years on behalf of Lactation Consultants of Great Britain. I sent in comments, additional research and suggestions on best practice, many of which have been taken up.
I attend the All Party Parliamentary Group on Infant Feeding and Inequality, and am a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Human Gut Microbiome.
I am an Ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration charity and the charity, Collaboration for Kids.
In January 2024 I began voluntary work as a Health Policy Advisor for the Green Party.
