About Susan
MY
Credentials
I am a registered Nutritional Therapist. I studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in London where I completed three year's training.
I have been trained in the principles of Functional Medicine, a science based approach to health and healing that looks at the body as a whole and assesses the underlying causes of symptoms that express themselves as disease. Rather than look at symptoms in isolation, I seek to support underlying imbalances and address the root cause.
I am a full member of the International Institute for Complimentary Therapists (IICT). I have completed the FHT Foundation Level Accreditation in ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia Recovery with The Chrysalis Effect.
MY
Story
In my 'prior life' I worked in the corporate world as a freelance graphic designer, a highly stressful and deadline driven work environment with very long hours. After two decades of poor work-life balance and convenience lifestyle my health reached a crisis point which left me struggling for many years with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a condition poorly understood and poorly supported at the time. Determined to regain my health and needing to understand what had caused my health to deteriorate so profoundly is how I came to study Naturopathic Nutrition at the College of Naturopathic Medicine.
A detailed account of my personal journey with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be read in my blog.
MY
Philosophy
I passionately believe in the power of food and food as medicine as I have personally experienced how it can replenish your life.
I do not believe in diets, calorie counting or deprivation. Rather than eat foods which place a continual stress upon our bodies I believe in nourishing our body with nutrient dense foods that replenish us and, over time, may help us heal.
I take a holistic approach to wellness looking at the mind, body, spirit connection. I work alongside my clients and remove all the confusion around health, I search for the core underlying stressors and nutritional deficiencies that debilitate their health and prevent them from thriving. I develop a health protocol specifically targeted to their individual symptoms, circumstances and health goals.
I am committed to educating and empowering individuals to make positive, lasting changes that will enable them to lead healthier, happier and more energised lives.
