Welcome to SJ Health
Living with ongoing symptoms can affect every part of your life, from your energy and sleep to your mood, relationships and ability to do the things you enjoy. If you’re struggling with digestive issues, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, persistent fatigue, skin concerns or more complex health challenges, you may feel frustrated by not having the answers you need.
Â
As a registered Nutritional Therapist (mBANT, CNHC Reg, AFMCP Cert), I take a whole-body, functional medicine approach to looking beyond symptoms to explore the underlying factors that may be affecting your health.
​
By combining your health history with evidence-based nutrition, targeted lifestyle strategies and functional testing where appropriate, I work with you to build a clearer picture of your health and identify practical steps towards improvement.
Â
My aim is to help you feel better in your everyday life, experience fewer limitations from your symptoms and get back to doing more of the things you love. Together, we’ll create a realistic, personalised plan that fits your life and supports you towards better health and long-term wellbeing.
The Journey
My Story
In 2012, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition- the start of a long and often isolating journey through Graves' disease, Thyroid eye disease, SIBO, sleep disturbances, food intolerances, and chronic migraines.
Â
Like many people living with complex health issues, I found myself caught in a cycle of symptom management, often feeling that the bigger picture of my health was not being addressed.
Beneath the frustration was a strong desire to understand why, and a sense that there had to be another way. This belief led me to explore functional and root-cause approaches to health. Over the following years, I spent countless hours researching, experimenting with dietary and lifestyle changes, exploring different treatment approaches, and carefully tracking my symptoms.
Â
Gradually, I began to experience improvements. Each small step forward strengthened my belief in the body’s capacity to recover when supported in the right way.
Â
Earlier in my journey, an invasive medical procedure resulted in a lifelong side effect. The knowledge I have gained since has allowed me to manage it effectively, and it continues to drive my commitment to helping others take a more informed, strategic approach to their health.
Â
These experiences ultimately inspired me to pursue formal training in nutritional therapy and functional medicine.

Training & Professional Background
I went on to train as a Nutritional Therapist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM), completing three intensive years of study and graduating with distinction. I continued my education with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), and now assist with supervision at the CNM student clinic, supporting those who are training to become practitioners.
Combining clinical training with personal experience, I am committed to helping others towards optimal health by helping to uncover the root causes of their challenges. My approach is deeply personalised, evidence-informed, and honours the body as an interconnected whole.
As a member of the British Association of Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine, the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, and the Institute for Functional Medicine, I stay up to date through ongoing professional development and the latest research. I’m committed to maintaining high professional and ethical standards, so you can feel confident that the care you receive is safe, well-informed, tailored to your unique needs, and results-driven.
If you are ready to explore the underlying causes of your symptoms and take steps toward feeling your best, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
