About KCH Nutrition

I am passionate about helping others regain their energy and love for life through the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes.

I have always been interested in science (studying medicine straight from school albeit briefly) but my journey was diverted with my first degree being in Economics from where I went to work as Investment Manager at JP Morgan.  I took a career break when I had my first child and didn’t return but instead, slowly, as various health issues arose and I began to search for alternative answers to medication and more conventional approaches.  I began to pay more attention again to food and the power it holds over our health.

With more time on my hands, sport began to play a greater role in my life, fuelling further may passion for knowledge.   Finally, as my children neared teen years, I made the leap to commit to a full-time three year BSc degree in Nutritional Science (First Class Hons).  At the same time,  I qualified as a NLP Practitioner, enabling me to incorporate coaching alongside nutritional education, empowering my clients to make long-term sustainable changes.

Whilst I love working with clients on a 1-2-1 basis, continued knowledge and eduction I believe is critical and as a result I am currently (2022) completing a Masters Degree in Applied Neuroscience  at Kings College London to enhance my both personal and professional interest in this area.  I have also trained with the National Centre for Eating Disorders and am qualifying as a practitioner in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help with underlying trauma which can often form a barrier to full recovery.

As well as working with my 1-2-1 clients and holding talks on nutrition to a wide range of audiences, I have gone on to lecture on Gastrointestinal Gysfunction in endurance athletes and Functional Testing for Athletes for the Centre for Integrated Sport and Nutrition run by Ian Craig.    I hold corporate talks to a number of institutions which are tailored to their needs.

Do you sometimes wonder if you can change?  Do you use the excuse ‘I have no time’ or ‘I’m too old’?  Moving outside your comfort zone is challenging, it is meant to be, however, I believe there is no such thing as ‘I cant’, so long as there is enough determination and will-power, most things are possible.  I want to help you reach your potential.

I ran my first 10k when my children were young, then learning to swim a few years later for a triathlon, having at the same time to overcome my fear of open water.  I have gone on to represent GB in my age-group in both the World Long Distance Championship and European Middle Distance Championship races.   There are numerous analogies to sticking to a food plan and racing:  planning for A, B and C scenarios and not giving up; the best athletes are consistent in their training, equally well applied to our dietary habits; last but not least, staying motivated and using skills such as visualisation to help us achieve this.  All of these I will help you with.

Nutrition is complex and their are many conflicting messages in the media, making it hard to know if you are making the correct choices for you.  We are all biochemically unique and one size does not fit all so it is not surprising the generic messages we receive may not be the best for you.  Working together and putting together all the pieces of your puzzle, including your genetic predisposition, past and present lifestyle, environment, health history and diet, will help you reach your goals you previously thought unachievable.
