About meI set up 4 Well People after qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. I spent my former career in marketing roles for a number of blue chip companies. Having been unwell for a number of years, and not having had any success with conventional medicine, I went to see a Nutritional Therapist, and experienced the benefits of Nutritional Therapy for myself. The improvement in my health was so inspiring that I decided to retrain, and I spent four years studying at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in Richmond.
As the mother of two young boys, and having had previous teaching experience, I am experienced in dealing with children and my clinic is designed to be child friendly.
Success Stories“I was unsure of what to expect by having a consultation with a nutritional therapist, but Emily put me at ease straight away. She totally understood my issues and took a very detailed account of my lifestyle. By following the recommended plan I found that my energy levels were more consistent throughout the day and I developed a more positive attitude towards food. I was delighted to learn that by simply altering a few of my eating patterns I could feel so much better! I would have no hesitation in recommending Emily to my family and friends, and to anybody who was considering seeing a nutritionist."
Miss Anand, Richmond"Prior to receiving advice from Emily I would suffer with frequent headaches, sugar cravings, recurrent sinus infections and asthma
attacks. As a result of following my nutritional programme I no longer suffer with headaches at all, have gained good control of my blood sugar levels, and have been almost totally free from sinus infections and asthma attacks. My overall sense of wellbeing has improved and I have also lost 10lbs in weight. Through functional testing Emily has also discovered the underlying cause of many of my symptoms. I would recommend Emily to anyone who is looking to improve their health"
Matt, Cardiff“I have suffered with Crohn’s disease for 18 years and have undergone major surgery, prolonged hospitalisation and steroid therapy. I first saw Emily two years ago and was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the disease and also with her human approach. She not only recognised the physiological problems but also the impact that the illness can have on my day to day life. She was very sensitive to what can be an embarrassing condition. She explained in simple terms how Crohn’s disease affects the nutritional state and absorption processes and gave me realistic advice which was clear, concise and easy to follow. I am currently in remission, but remain under Emily’s care to ensure this continues”
Mrs Plevin, Ealing“I was a classic case of an all or nothing attitude when it came to a healthy lifestyle. For years I had bouts of being exceptionally good with exercise and diet, usually with a goal in mind, and afterwards slacking off and undoing all my good work. Emily has worked with me to create a nutritional programme and a suggested exercise regime that is realistically maintainable. She helped me understand the aspects of my diet that affected my health beyond weight. As a consequence of my sessions with Emily I feel fabulous and for the first time have a balanced approach to food and fitness. I would recommend Emily to anyone who wants to optimise their health and wellbieng”
