Qualifications & PostGraduate Training

I trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, completing a 3-year course in Nutritional Therapy and a 2-year course in Naturopathy.  

I then furthered my training by studying for one year with the Kresser Institute, the only functional medicine and evolutionary health training company. I am one of only 10 ADAPT Trained Health Practitioners in the UK.  This is led by Chris Kresser, who is one of the sharpest functional medicine clinicians and educators I know. I love his evidence-based, yet practical approach  and the one-year course was an in-depth functional medicine training for supporting the most common chronic health conditions.

 

Science and research is continually being updated so I make additional training a priority and have been lucky to have specialist training with leaders in their fields to provide me with increased expertise in functional digestive conditions, nervous system health, hormonal health and fatigue.   My approach views the mind-body as a whole, with our nervous system being a key component of health and so I am also a member of Fi Feehan’s Practitioner Programme, who as a highly skilled emotional health practitioner, is sharing all her knowledge and training with us in a small group training setting.

 

In addition to my one-to-one work in clinical practice, I also regularly lecture with the College of Naturopathic Medicine and run the BeMoreTree programme with Fi Feehan, which brings together all of our combined knowledge in nervous system regulation.

 

I am a fully insured registered member of the ANP (Association of Naturopathic Practitioners) and a member of the General Naturopathic Council (GNC).
