About Eva
I am immensely passionate about nutrition and helping others discover their ideal diet based on scientific evidence, clinical experience, and the belief that no diet should ever make you unhappy. I am passionate about food as medicine and seeing healthcare evolve to focus on prevention and healing rather than symptom management.
I believe that a person’s health can be drastically improved by changing their diet.
I will show you alternatives and inspire you to make changes as you gain control and bring your body back into balance. We will work together along with Angelique to create a new lifestyle – something that works for you. My work is focused on the unique nutritional needs of each individual. The degree of biological variation between individuals is too vast to guarantee that the same treatment will have the same effect for everyone, therefore, we never offer a one-size-fits-all approach.
Qualifications and further studies:
I am a Nutritional Therapist with a foundation science degree from the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) accredited by the University of Bedfordshire where I was trained over 3 years in the principles of functional medicine, a science-based method that assesses the underlying causes of symptoms. ION received accreditation from the Nutritional Therapy Council (NTC) which sets standards of training and education that meet the National Occupational Standards for Nutritional Therapy.
I am registered with BANT (British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy) – The body that promotes and upholds the ethical standards in Nutritional Therapy.
and have also met the strict criteria required for the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) registration – which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority, the regulatory body that assures standards of practice all areas of healthcare.
I am fully insured to practise in the field of Nutritional Therapy and I will always continue to increase my knowledge, I am actively involved in Continual Professional Development and invest a great deal of time in seminars, workshops, training and keeping up to date with the latest research, which I love…I am the eternal student.
My Approach:
Nutritional Therapists work with individuals who suffer from acute and chronic conditions and use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. As a Nutritional Therapist, this approach allows me to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health, i.e. I treat the person as a whole, and not of the condition itself.
My approach is hands-on and personal. I address the underlying causes of your health problems so you can get well and stay well. In other words, I focus on the underlining mechanism causing the complaints instead of symptom suppression.
On booking your consultation, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire, which is to be returned for preliminary analysis by myself and Angelique before the initial consultation. During the hour-long initial consultation, I take a detailed case history, building on the information from the questionnaire, alongside clinic tests where appropriate.
Using this information, Angelique and I will work together to agree on a programme for you to follow. The programme will work to enhance the systems in the body, such as digestive function, strengthening the immune system, balancing blood sugar levels and helping the body’s natural detoxification pathways. During this consultation we may also discuss the need for functional laboratory tests to fully investigate the underlying causes of your displaying symptoms, as well as the use of supplements if needed.
Angelique and I share the same philosophy on health a nutrition, we work on each client case together and run and integrative clinic.
What you can expect:
As a nutritional therapist I provide expert advice that enables you to make lifestyle changes and consume the foods and nutrients required to help you optimise your metabolism and promote wellbeing and quality of life. I use a careful, detailed assessment to define the unique needs of those who seek my nutritional guidance. Where required, I will request permission to communicate with your primary care physician or specialist to ensure cross-discipline continuity of care. The care and wellbeing of all individuals seeking my help is paramount.
I am here to guide you in your own personal journey to wellbeing. Whatever the issue, we will work together to identify and alleviate symptoms. I will help you understand why your body is not responding as you would wish, and advise you as to the relevant course of action and help you build a nutritional program which will best fulfil your needs, and fit in with your lifestyle.
Whatever path you need to travel to improve your health, we will work together one on one to make it achievable and sustainable.
Testimonials
I came to see Eva after I had a bald spot appear. I did all possible medical tests and no cause for the hair loss was established. I was recommended to go on a clean diet, which is when I sought out Eva’s help. From the first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. Eva is so knowledgeable and lovely to talk to. She made me feel so comfortable and helped me to change my eating habits. After three meetings I feel that a lot has changed, I’m happier and my hair has mostly grown back and the bald spot is almost gone. I will forever be grateful to Eva and I would not hesitate to recommend her because she is truly an amazing nutritionist and a person.
I went to Eva after gaining a lot of weight in a short space of time and couldn’t shift it. I found out I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which caused me to have a hormonal imbalance and to be insulin resistant. Advice from GPs was to just diet and exercise. I was already doing both and nothing was working. I decided to speak to an expert in nutrition as I felt the insulin problem nutrition should be the first problem to tackle. Eva helped me understand what PCOS meant to my body and how nutrition can help. Eva is definitely an expert in her field and really just wants to help you. All her advice will definitely work, and the reports Eva sends after our sessions are full of information that you can refer back to which helped loads. Eva really goes the extra mile to help you. In total I lost 7kg, which is amazing given my condition. I am so happy with what I have learnt and will continue to practise. If you put in the effort and committment you will definitely see results. I highly recommend Eva to anyone seeking expert nutritional advice.
I found myself in a – nutritional rut – so to speak whilst I was trying to conceive, I wanted to ensure that my body was at its best to ensure this took place. I booked to see Eva and she was lovely, so calming and I instantly knew I’d made the right choice. I came away full of zest for life and was super excited to start my new healthy eating regime, I guess I felt my body was weak and wasn’t ‘up for’ conceiving just yet. As per Eva’s plan I fed my body what it needed, changed my vitamins and drank the suggested amazing ‘smoothie’ everyday! To my joy in one month I’d fallen pregnant 🙂 Seeing Eva, changing my diet, my vitamin intake and focus upon her suggestions was one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you Eva.
Your advice following my lengthy intolerance report has turned my health around. I feel fantastic. No headaches, no fogginess, no digestive issue, no itchy skin and my rheumatoid arthritis is getting under control. You’ve cured ailments that I didn’t even realise I had. Thank you!
After having had a baby 5 months ago, I had the task of loosing the dreaded ‘baby weight’. This is stubborn weight unlike any other I have tried to loose before, and none of the diets I had tried even touched the sides. After having a consultation with Eva, I found her to be honest, encouraging and supportive, and she put me on a tailor made diet plan. Within two weeks I have lost 13lbs, and counting. I am so glad I decided to see Eva. Not only have I lost weight, but I am sleeping better, am more alert in the day time and my skin has improved too. I will definitely be recommending Eva to my friends, she has worked wonders for me.
I just found out that I am pregnant and really believe my diet, thanks to you, has made that happen so THANK YOU! Having being diagnosed with PCOS, It was explained by the doctors my chances of conceiving were reduced. Eva was able to offer a nutritional protocol to stabilise my hormone levels in order to promote ovulation. A natural approach with a healthy diet has really paid off!
If I look back over the years and as far back as I can remember, I now realise that I must have always had a digestive problem! In the quest to achieve optimum health I took a great interest in many aspects of nutrition and am fairly knowledgeable in this area but felt that I was stumbling in the dark because this feeling of wellbeing, which I was continually searching for, completely eluded me. I tried various nutritionists but continued to suffer with the lack of concentration, wooly head, bloating, lack of energy, mood swings, depression and most of all the lack of sleep! I haven’t really had a proper night’s sleep for the last fifteen years!! That was until I decided to see Eva and I can categorically say that after having the tests she recommended carried out, my life has completely changed and my sleep has improved so much that I feel like a completely new person. Eva also recommended some supplements which I have been taking regularly, and quite frankly, I haven’t looked back. I feel incredible and my sleep has improved tremendously, I have loads more energy, I can think clearly and rationally and my stomach feels light and airy and that bloated feeling has completely gone. I believe that once in a while you meet a person who makes a difference in your life and I truly know Eva has made a difference to mine with her excellent skills and knowledge she has transformed my life from a drudge to a life of vibrancy and I am very grateful. Without her help I would still be struggling!
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your support and encouragement . You are such a positive person who has really motivated me to change my lifestyle and diet to better my health. It is so comforting to talk to someone so knowledgeable and all your resources and handouts that you give me at each consultation have been invaluable. I am now well on the road to weight loss success having lost over a stone in six weeks since I first met with you. I would encourage anyone to book with Eva as you will receive a friendly and professional service and fantastic support to help you achieve your goals in manageable stages
Part of my work in clinic is to identity and address the root cause which is responsible for the symptoms a client is experiencing. The most common underlying condition I see is unbalanced hormones. Once I noticed that balancing hormones leads to the reduction of so many other symptoms, I knew I had to create a simple plan to help people understand and support their hormones.
Follow the plan
