About Me
Hi, I’m Nic and I am a registered Nutritional therapist and Hair Mineral Analysis consultant. As well as working with people online, I now work locally in Worthing plus the Hove and Shoreham areas.
I first discovered the connection between diet, lifestyle and health in my mid-thirties when I was living in Sydney and working in a stressful teaching job. I was also partying, staying up late and not eating too well, and this cumulative stress led my body to reach ‘burnout’: both mental and physical fatigue. After several years of trying to fix myself with different diets, with varying results, I moved back to the UK and began studying nutritional therapy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Brighton.
After the birth of my eldest son, I was living in a flat that had black mould, and was in a difficult marriage. I also had the pressure of working & studying, I found myself developing symptoms of crushing fatigue. Extreme sluggishness, head fog and food sensitivities were some of my symptoms, and I was eventually diagnosed with “Chronic fatigue syndrome” (CFS). As I began to dig deeper into the cause and reasons behind my symptoms, I discovered Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), which took the guesswork out of what my body truly needed, and helped me track my symptoms & progress. I moved house, left my unhealthy marriage and made some lifestyle and environmental changes. I implemented mineral balancing (electrolytes and proper hydration were KEY), alongside liver and gut support. I allowed myself space for emotional healing, and I then began to see some huge improvements.
I am now a mum of 2 and am experienced in working with children and adults with complex health conditions. Each person is unique and I will create for you a personalised program including lifestyle recommendations plus the right food to eat based on your individual needs. I am an advocate of food-based nutrition. I use foods, herbs and mostly food-state supplements in my programs for optimal absorption and bioavailability. I am fully insured and a member of the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners.
