I am a public health specialist with over 25 years’ experience in nutrition, physical activity, and weight management. My work focuses on helping women optimise their health and wellbeing during perimenopause and menopause through practical, evidence-based lifestyle and behavioural approaches that fit into real life.
I specialise in supporting women to make small, sustainable changes that can improve body composition, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, mood, and overall health. My approach is grounded in behavioural science and coaching psychology, recognising the close interaction between hormones, the nervous system, and everyday habits. Rather than pursuing perfection, I work with women to build routines that are realistic, adaptable, and sustainable over the long term.
Alongside my clinical work, I am the Director of eity20 Ltd, a science-backed health and wellbeing system designed to support mental, physical, and gut health through structured, everyday routines. The eity20 approach is informed by public health, lifestyle medicine, and psychology, and is guided by a simple principle: 80% consistency, 20% flexibility - progress rather than perfection.
The eity20 framework integrates eight interconnected pillars that shape health and behaviour: Environment and daily structure; nutrition and gut health; sleep; movement; stress management; thought patterns; emotional regulation; and social connection. This whole-person approach reflects the reality that health is rarely driven by a single factor, but by how multiple systems work together over time.
I hold a PhD in Public Health, an MSc in Sport and Exercise Nutrition, and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health, with a particular interest in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I am a registered nutritionist (BDA/SENr), trained in motivational interviewing, a registered anthropometrist (ISAK Level 1), and a registered exercise professional (CIMSPA). I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health (FRSPH), a Practitioner Member of the Faculty of Public Health (PFPH), a member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM), and an affiliate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
