What People Are Saying
“Having suffered with depression and low mood for many years, tackling it solely with exercise and counselling, a friend suggested I speak to a nutritionist to pursue a new angle. Food was something I had little interest in when low, so it made sense to consider nutrition as a contributory factor. In just 2 sessions with Edwina, she looked at my weekly diet, made sensible and realistic suggestions, as well as pointing out a few things that I consumed which possibly were not helping. I came away with some simple diet alterations, which were easy to put in place, plus suggestions for 2 supplements and what felt like a positive outlook going forward.
Four months later, I can honestly say I haven’t felt this strong mentally for a number of years. Edwina is friendly, professional, discreet and straightforward suggesting achievable targets regarding food, lifestyle and supplements. I felt very safe with her discussing my issues and would highly recommend a visit.”

“I have never been to a nutritional therapist before and to be honest was a bit apprehensive about what I would discover and what I would be asked to change. Edwina could not have been more approachable or informative. Her friendly and relaxed manner meant I immediately felt at ease and I was then able to understand how, with small changes, I could really help my body to digest food, ease my menopause symptoms as well as loose weight. Edwina's food plan was easy to follow and also evidence based. I feel so much better since making these changes and would thoroughly recommend her as fantastic therapist.”

I found Edwina’s warm, friendly, yet professional manner very reassuring as we discussed my health concerns. I sought her help after living in a very mouldy flat, which had left me struggling with multiple symptoms of mould toxicity including worsened hypothyroid issues. Edwina conducted a thorough assessment of my health and clearly explained the reasons behind my symptoms. She provided practical food and lifestyle recommendations, as well as supplements tailored to fit my budget.Throughout the process, Edwina was always responsive, addressing my questions and challenges quickly and offering the encouragement I needed to stay on track, even when making changes felt difficult! After 6 months of working with Edwina, I have seen real improvements in my energy levels, sleep, respiratory health, and digestion. I know feel well equipped to manage my own health moving forward. I’m so grateful for her support!

It is a very overused word, but in engaging Ed, I wanted ‘holistic’ guidance, advice and practicality. Edwina is a rare professional. Not only is she capable of delivering all this, as a coach would to optimise performance, but she also does it with straight-talking practicality, and warm empathy.
We should all know what we should eat but how many of us know how we are wired and what our deficiencies and weaknesses are? Ed’s consultations really get to the core of me as a middle aged bloke who reckons he is mostly fine…Ed is making me better…emotionally and physically to help me cope with stress and a busy and full life.With her help, I have the foundations to sleep better, make the most of my nutrition, to manage my weight, and generally perform in life as well as I can. Thank you Edwina.

“I have suffered with psoriasis since childhood and relied on various steroid creams to manage my symptoms for nearly 40 years. Following another bad flare-up and a period of poor sleep, I thought it was time to I investigated how diet could be affecting my symptoms and Edwina was recommended to me. Edwina was calm, friendly and professional and I felt at ease from the start. She was very knowledgeable and explained clearly what could be triggering my symptoms. I was a bit concerned she may give me a plan that would be hard to stick to given I work long hours and travel for work. However, her recommendations were simple and straightforward and just by making several small changes, both with my diet and lifestyle, I experienced a significant improvement in my symptoms in just 6 weeks.
I have noticed my skin is much calmer and I’m hardly using my steroid lotion at all. I have also suffered with terrible sleep partners over the last 6 months, and after just the initial consultation, I'm now sleeping solidly for 7-8 hours per night. As a result, I have so much more energy, improved cognition and less anxiety so am able to cope much better with my family and job demands. .”

I went to see Edwina as I was suffering with terrible PMS symptoms such as bloating, heavy and painful periods and very low mood. I also had low energy so was exhausted and pretty fed up and was taking a lot of time off work as a result. Having thought I was quite a healthy eater, I soon realised I had got myself into some bad eating habits and wasn’t eating enough of the good stuff or with enough variety. Edwina gave me just a few simple diet and lifestyle recommendations and I noticed a huge improvement in my symptoms after just 4 weeks and this has continued.

I am so glad that I took the step to start looking after myself better and feel so much happier as a result with more energy and less problematic periods. My friends and family have all commented how well I look and how much brighter I seem, and I am coping much better at work. I am so grateful to Edwina and I will definitely continue with the suggestions she made as they have been easy to implement, I have really seen how eating a varied diet and changing some of my lifestyle habits can have a big impact on my health.

Following my diagnosis with Diverticulitis, I contacted Edwina for help with my diet and nutrition to improve my overall health and eating habits. Edwina was very thorough and spent a great deal of time listening to my concerns and what I wanted to achieve. I can honestly say the recommendations that she produced for me have been fantastic. My overall health has improved, I am much more aware of my body, my eating habits and how I eat food. The plan produced by Edwina was very comprehensive but at the same time easy to follow. Working with Edwina has made a massive difference to my overall health and I would highly recommend her. This will be an ongoing programme with regular check ins.
