Reversing my own symptoms of PCOS through Nutritional Therapy is what led me to leave a 20+ year corporate role to retrain as a Nutritionist and dedicate my life to helping other women with PCOS gain control of their symptoms!
At age 22, I had gained nearly 3 stone in weight in a year, developed unwanted facial hair, had my hair on my head falling out, and felt so lacking in energy and low, I didn’t know what to do with myself. A diagnosis of PCOS followed, but I was told just to go on the Pill and come back when I wanted to have a baby. A familiar story! After two pregnancies with gestational diabetes, I was increasingly worried for my health. But seeing a Nutritional Therapist changed all that and, through specific diet and lifestyle changes, I managed to reverse my symptoms and take control of my life. I have never felt better!
The approach I take with my clients is all about education and support. I help women with PCOS understand their condition, so together we can work out what’s right for them to get the results they want. We ladies with PCOS can often feel that our bodies have turned against us - and this is where the support comes in. I’m with my clients every step of the way to help them address their relationship with food and start to love their bodies again.
Hi, I'm Louise. I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Health Coach and women's hormone specialist.
I truly believe that all women should be empowered with the information to understand what may be at the root of their PCOS, the support to manage their symptoms through diet and lifestyle changes and the confidence to take control of their health. I am particularly passionate about supporting women during perimenopause and menopause when the usual hormone havoc at this time can be exacerbated for those with PCOS.
Food has shaped my life since the age of 12, when I experienced a severe restrictive eating disorder. Over the years, I have lived through both restriction and chaotic bulimic patterns, and through this journey I have developed a fascination with the body’s remarkable ability to heal.
Today, my passion lies in supporting women to build a kinder, healthier relationship with food at every stage of life. I have completed extensive training, including NTEC-certified Nutrition for Eating Disorders with Emma Hendricks at The Eating Clinic, a Master Practitioner Diploma from the National Centre of Eating Disorders, and the NTEC-certified Systems Approach to Cancer with integrative oncologist Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel.
I continue to deepen my expertise through ongoing mentorship with both Emma Hendricks and Dr Fuller-Shavel. I am also a registered yoga teacher and have had a deep personal daily practice of both yoga and mindfulness for the past 30 years.
I'm a registered nutritionist and health coach specialising in women’s health and hormonal balance.
I’m passionate about helping women cut through the confusing noise around nutrition and wellness to find personalised solutions that actually work for them. We work together to integrate these changes into daily life for the long term. My approach is holistic – considering your lifestyle, mental wellbeing, and diet – to help you feel energised, balanced, and in control of your health
