About Me

I’m a proud Northerner, married to a New Zealander and spent many years travelling the world – both as a backpacker and through my career in the travel industry. Travel was, and still is, a huge passion of mine but health-wise the travelling caught up with me.

Years of long haul flights, wild water swimming and the relentless pace of life on the go all began to take their toll. I wasn’t feeling like myself and something had to change.

A nutritionist helped me to get back on track and I was hooked. I became fascinated by the power of food and lifestyle to transform health from the inside out.

1. Clinics and Consultations

I’m a highly experienced nutritionist with more than 25 years of hands on experience supporting private clients, working within clinics and collaborating with corporations.

Since qualifying, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals transform their health through personalised nutritional strategies.

I believe that ‘one size does not fit all’ when it comes to nutrition. Each person is unique – with their own biochemistry, lifestyle, health challenges and goals – and I understand how difficult it can be to maintain a healthy diet, even with the best intentions.

Through a thorough assessment of your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, dietary habits, medical conditions and any medications you may be taking, I will create a tailored programme that suits your specific needs. Where appropriate, functional nutrition testing can also be discussed to provide deeper insights and inform your personalised plan.

My years of experience have only deepened my passion for the life changing power of good nutrition – and my aim is to make healthy eating both achievable and sustainable.

4. Crucial Deliveries and Events

I’m a self taught cook with a real passion for creating food that’s creative, delicious and nutritionally sound.

Between 2015 and 2020 I owned and operated Crucial Cafe, a much loved healthy eatery located in a premium health club in West London. As the lead cook during its first year, I helped to build a loyal customer base before stepping aside to expand the business into new areas.

From there Crucial Events was born – catering for private clients and corporate functions – along with Crucial Deliveries, providing nutritious, freshly made meals to individuals and businesses across London.

Past and current clients include Nederlander Theatres, WME Talent Agency, Not on the High Street, Metropolis Studios, Harvey Nichols, YMU Talent Management Agency, Blair Partnership Publishers, Stem Healthcare.

Although the Cafe closed in 2020 due to the pandemic, Crucial Food still lives on, through its catering and delivery services.

At the heart of everything I do is simple, delicious, honest food – made fresh to order, using high quality, natural ingredients.

What I offer:

Private Deliveries

• Options include daily deliveries of fresh meals and juices if required – ideal for individuals or families looking for convenient, healthy support through busy periods, recovery or life changes.

Corporate Deliveries

  Nutritious, energising meals designed to compliment workshops

Private Events

• Menus created to your request. I aim to cater for all requests wherever possible, though there may be some limitations depending on the nature of the event, numbers of guests or dietary requirements.
