About Susan

Supporting women

to feel their best,

one dish at a time.

Hi, I'm Susan. I'll be honest. I wasn't always the person I am today.

In my twenties I had very little idea about food or how to feed myself well. Away from home for the first time at university, I simply did what everyone else was doing. It didn't take long before I was losing energy, gaining weight and feeling consistently sluggish.

During my final year, I carried out a research project on the effect of food on concentration and performance in children, and I couldn't ignore what I was finding. That question sent me on a search for answers.

The options at the time were mostly fads: extreme calorie-cutting, high-protein diets. None of it felt intelligent or sustainable. Then I discovered a leading nutrition expert whose approach made complete sense to me. I was mesmerised.

I launched into five years of academic study, a further degree, and everything changed. I lost weight, regained my energy, and haven't looked back since.

Qualifications and Experience

My professional background was in teacher training, and my love of educating never left me. Some years later I brought my two great passions together. After four years of study at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist and began working from my base in Cheshire in 2012.

I'm a member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), and a registered Zest4Life practitioner specialising in weight loss. I'm also a Wellbeing Coach, having qualified with Chrysalis Effect.

Food First. Always.

I was always known at college as the "foodie". The one saying, forget the supplements, let's talk about the food. Because that's where real, lasting change happens.

My job isn't just to tell you what to eat; it's to help you learn to feed yourself well, one dish at a time, so the change becomes yours for life.

I'm also a living example of what I teach. Having reached middle age, I play tennis, run the Manchester 10k each year and walk my dog most days, and I have the energy to do all of it.

Osteoporosis has affected members of my family across generations, and that personal connection is part of why preventative medicine matters so deeply to me.

The changes I've made have been gradual and lasting, and healthy longevity is the outcome I want to help every client achieve.

Who I Help and How

My focus is women in midlife navigating perimenopause and menopause, managing their weight (including those using GLP-1 medications), or protecting their bone health as they age.

I also provide nutritional support for Chai Cancer Care, working with clients before, during and after treatment.

Every client is different, which is why I take a bespoke approach. We start with a free 20-minute discovery call, and from there I build a personalised plan around your life, your food preferences and your pace.

Nutrition information is everywhere, but nutritional therapy is personal, evidence-based and designed around you.

Healthy living isn't a sacrifice. It's a journey, and I'd love to take it with you.
