Hello, I’m Karen and I'm a BANT & CNHC registered nutritional therapist, nutritionist, certified health coach and Metabolic Balance® Practitioner.

I generally support women who have low energy, hormonal imbalances, digestive symptoms and stubborn weight loss, who are looking to get back to feeling their best every day. Often these women are also perimenopausal or menopausal.

My approach is collaborative and balanced whilst being firmly backed up by science.

​As a mum, I go about this with a realistic and holistic outlook... life is busy and we are all juggling a multitude of balls, with limited reserves of energy. ​

​So, I'll take into consideration all the factors in your life that can affect your health, for example; sleep, stress, work and family as well as food. 

I can also support you through functional testing including DNA testing & nutrigenomics with Lifecode Gx & stool testing with Genova GI Effects to further personalise protocols.

How Did I Get Here?

I really love food and always have done. Fascinated by nutrition ever since Home Economics classes at school, I later saw the impact of targeted nutrition, during inpatient stays at Great Ormond Street Hospital with one of my children.

I share this passion & belief in the power of food with my clients, together with a love for home cooking. I pride myself on being able to create a meal out of just a few ingredients.

Training

I studied at London's College of Naturopathic Medicine on it’s degree level CNM Diploma in Nutritional Therapy. I also hold a BA (Hons) Psychology from the University of Sheffield and continually keep up to date with CPD.

Life Experience

My 3 children have thrown an array of medical problems into the mix, from eczema to UTI's & a rare genetic condition. Targeted nutrition has been the major player in the tool kit for supporting their health years & I've accumulated years of experience of navigating the NHS at both local and tertiary levels.

I’m genuinely excited to be a Metabolic Balance Practitioner and to have this opportunity to offer you this amazing, personalised whole food programme.

Consultations are available online or in person from the beautiful clinic rooms at The Manor Health & Wellness Centre, in Colchester City Centre (North Essex) with parking just a few steps away.

The Manor is accessible with disabled toilets.

Please do get in touch so we can organise a time to talk on the phone and chat about how I can help you to get back to feeling at your best.
