About me
I studied for three years at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London and qualified with a Distinction. I now work as part of top London nutrition consultancy, The Nutrition Coach (www.thenutritioncoach.co.uk), with busy London nutrition clinics in Greenwich, Blackheath and central London.
I provide clients with easy to follow, personalised nutrition plans, which are designed to address problems such as IBS, bloating, weight gain, food intolerances, stress, low energy, and PMS, and to improve health for the long-term. I’m passionate about good food and aim to pass on my love of cooking and creating healthy and tasty meals to my clients.
As well as seeing clients on a one-to-one basis at my London nutrition clinics, I work with The Nutrition Coach on corporate nutrition and food consultancy projects. I’m also a nutrition and health writer and have written many informative and lively articles. Click here for more information.
Prior to qualifying as a nutritional therapist, I spent over nine years in the public relations industry. During a long period of poor health, I turned to nutritional therapy to see if it could help. I was amazed by my body’s response and soon realised how powerful nutritional therapy can be in restoring and maintaining good health. This triggered my career move to nutrition, and I haven’t looked back since.
I regularly attend lectures to ensure my knowledge is kept up-to-date and to meet Continuing Professional Development requirements. As a member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT), I am bound by the strict BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.

What my clients say
PMS, bloating, weight loss and low energy
"Within six weeks of starting the nutrition plan and supplements, which Kim advised, I began to notice an improvement in my general well-being as well as a feeling of vitality. My skin has noticeably improved, my PMS symptoms such as bloating are much less severe, and I have lost weight. Kim supplied me with a well laid-out plan and a wealth of information. She also drew up meal suggestions based on her recommendations and my likes and dislikes, which took into account lifestyle issues such as lack of time to cook lengthy meals. Her follow up sessions were very helpful, she ensured motivation was kept high and gave me new incentives and goals to keep on improving." Alex, London
Pregnancy nutrition, fatigue and anxiety
"Before I started seeing Kim, I was suffering from tiredness and panic attacks. Within a few weeks of following Kim's advice, I began to have a lot more energy and the panic attacks became less frequent. Kim has been very supportive and understanding throughout and has provided realistic diet and lifestyle advice that has been easy for me to maintain. My husband and I were also trying for a baby at the time, and after a few months of following the nutrition programme I became pregnant and we now have a very healthy baby girl. Kim provided me with information on pregnancy nutrition and postnatal diet." Jane, London
Sports nutrition
“I have come to realise how important good nutrition is to enhance sports performance. The advice Kim has given me has proved invaluable - I’ve definitely seen an improvement in my racing and training times, I have less injuries and my recovery time is much better. Anyone who is serious about sport and competing should certainly consider sports nutrition to improve their performance.” Mark, triathlete, Nottingham
IBS, bloating and low energy
"I went to see Kim as I was suffering from IBS and bloating. Kim immediately put me at ease with her relaxed but professional approach, and I felt that she wouldn't ask me to make any changes I couldn't maintain. Within just a few weeks of following her dietary recommendations I felt so much better with much more energy. I no longer feel bloated, and my IBS symptoms have greatly improved and continue to improve. I have also lost weight which is a bonus. I can't imagine going back to my old ways of eating." Sophie, London
Skin problems
I went to see Kim after suffering from acne for ten years. I had tried many different things - herbs, homeopathy, and the pill. Kim recommended a shift in my dietary habits and some supplements. I had been vegetarian for ten years and my symptoms may have been a sign that I was not getting enough of certain nutrients. Within a month or so I began to notice less angry outbreaks on my skin. I was pleased to go back to the doctor with my much improved skin condition, which didn't depend on antibiotics or artificial chemicals. Through Kim's down to earth and friendly approach, I quickly developed trust in her advice. Her continued support has also been really helpful - I highly recommend her!” Ruth, London
Chronic PMS, mood swings and headaches
"I used to suffer from regular headaches, severe PMS and my blood sugar levels were out of control causing terrible mood swings. But once I started working with Kim I noticed an almost immediate improvement in my health. My energy levels soared and the PMS became much more bearable. After a while my mood swings became a thing of the past and I honestly can't remember the last time I had a headache. As an additional bonus my diet is now much more varied than before thanks to Kim's great menu suggestions. I can't thank Kim enough for her help and support." Pia, London
Eat Yourself Young
“After just a week on the Eat Yourself Young course I started to feel better with my energy levels noticeably increasing. Three months later on completing the course, I have never felt better – I have more energy, and vitality, my thoughts are clearer, and my skin and hair look great. Although it was never the goal of the course, I have also lost weight from my waist, arms and thighs. The course was hugely informative and was easy to follow with lots of meal plans and handouts making implementing the changes so much easier. Of course I wasn’t perfect all of the time but with regular contact with Kim, I stayed on track and remained motivated throughout. I am thrilled with the results - people have actually commented that I look brighter and fresher. I plan to stick to this way of eating for life.” Melissa, London
