LET ME HELP YOU TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH

Feeling like your health is going downhill slowly but surely?

Let me help you take back control of your health

Getting older is inevitable but getting sicker, heavier, and less energetic isn’t.

What I do

I work with professional women in their 40s and 50s who are busy and stressed.  Dealing with the pressures of work and whatever life is throwing at them and experiencing a wide range of health problems – and yet they don’t have time to be sick. They have been busy working, caring for kids, grand-kids and parents to have put much time and effort into themselves. They need to get on with things.

You may be experiencing a wide range of symptoms – some explained, some not.  Some you can’t make sense of how they all relate to one another.

  • Fatigue
  • Hormone related issues
  • Pain – headaches, joint issues
  • Inflammation
  • Catching every bug that comes around
  • Mood issues – anxiety, depression, irritability
  • Sleep difficulties
  • Digestive issues – bloating, food sensitives, reflux

What you get from me

A holistic approach working with you, your medical team if necessary, and referring you to other modalities of support if appropriate

Your health matters to me. And sometimes that means at looking at things from different angles, considering different modalities, or referring you on to other health care practitioners.  If I think something else besides nutrition would help you, I will tell you and will find a referral for you.

Non-judgmental support and a pragmatic approach

Look – I get it. Everyone has their challenges. Change is scary.  Not everyone feels they can or want to transform into a teetotal vegan.  But we work together to figure out what you need to do and what you feel able to do and go from there.  I meet you where you are right now and encourage you to move forward one step at a time.

My knowledge, expertise and training

I am one of only 25 nutritionists in the UK who have completed the rigorous training and exams from the IFM – the Institute for Functional Medicine – to become an IFMCP Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. I have a BSc in Nutritional Medicine (UK) and a BSc in Dietetics (USA) in which I graduated top of my degree class. On top of all this “official” training I am constantly learning to keep up with research and learn new things in the health field.

A space to be heard and understood

Women have broad shoulders and carry a lot on those shoulders: juggling work, family, friends, hobbies. The stress of keeping all those plates spinning can affect our health. We can have a lot of health issues and these weigh on our shoulders too. You need someone to whom you can talk openly and honestly.

Why I do it

My own family genetics

Nutrition and lifestyle changes have changed my life and helped me to mitigate the “bad genes” I’ve been born with.

Knowledge is power

In Functional Medicine we like to say “test don’t guess” – digging deep is how you find answers and formulate solutions.

It works

What we eat and drink provides us with the building blocks for our body to do what it needs to do. This is why problems with hormones, joints, digestion, skin, mood, and genetic expression can happen. Looking at nutrition is the starting point.

Testimonials

Sharon has been great at pinpointing my issues and developing a plan that works.  She helped me decipher many test results and has been a great support mentally as well as practically.  Checking in regularly and making sure I am ok has been much appreciated!
Mary, 41
Working with Sharon has been a pleasure. She listened to my concerns and issues and understood exactly what I wanted to achieve. After the first week of her suggested protocol, I had already noticed a huge difference in my nerve pain and stomach issues and I became more mindful of my diet. Although Sharon has given me the tools to carry on independently, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again for advice, or further treatment.
Elise, 55
As a GP, I thought I had tried everything for my bloating and fatigue, but working with Sharon was such an eye-opener, and effective! She is thorough, holistic and a joy to work with. I would definitely recommend her!
Nancy, 44
I highly recommend Sharon. I have had a few complex issues regarding my hormones, stress, and weight. The process was frustrating for me at the beginning, but Sharon understood and encouraged me throughout the process. She helped change my concepts on food and with problems with stress and the environment we live in.
Hilary, 51
After working with Sharon my health has seen a significant boost. Her ability to identify the problem areas and suggest nutritional ways boost my immune system has revolutionised the way I look at my health. She has shown me practical ways to not only improve my overall health but how to target specific problems that have been plaguing me for years. I have nothing but praise for her technical knowledge, passion and professional approach. She was there when I needed her most.

Sharon is an excellent listener and really gets deep into any issues. Her compassion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are second to none. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Most of all though, Sharon is someone you can trust to do what’s best for you.
Nicky, 54
Sharon is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She is also very knowledgeable in her field and has been fantastic in helping me get on top of some of the health issues I have been experiencing. Although the road has been long, and there have been a few speed bumps along the way (evidently I am more sensitive to certain things than other people) she has been very patient; continuously adapting her treatment approaches to suit my needs until we found something that began to work. I feel much more positive now than I did when I started my journey and am very grateful for the support that she has offered me (and indeed continues to offer). I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who-like me- has given up waiting weeks for the doctor’s appointments that never seem to solve the problem.
Silvia, 42
I was diagnosed with osteopenia (thinning bones) a few years ago, but after working with Sharon my latest bone scan has come back as normal for my age. I also have slight dry macular degeneration but my recent exam by an optician shows my sight has stabilised. I believe this is also down to nutritional therapy.
