Nutritional Therapy, Caterham & Kenley, Surrey
‘Let food be thy medicine’
What is Nutritional TherapyNutritional Therapy is based on the principal of using foods, nutrients, probiotics and herbs as a means to improve health by:Improving digestion – do you get indigestion, bloating, heartburn, bad breath or feel sleepy after eating? I will show you how, when and what to eat to balance this delicate system.
Aiding elimination – do you suffer with constipation, diarrhoea or obnoxious odours? With today’s diet and lifestyle, we need to take a new approach to aid elimination of everyday environmental and self-made toxins. Learn how easy this can be.
Eliminating parasites – do you have colitis, Crohn’s Disease, IBS, excessive gas, bloating or stomach pains? These are some of the symptoms relating to digestive parasites which laboratory tests will help you identify.
Improving nutritional intake – do you need help in learning how to prepare quick wholesome meals & snacks? I can get you started on your new road to health with nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals.
Enhancing immunity – do you have auto immune related disease, such as: arthritis, allergies, asthma? These conditions are generally only maintained with conventional medicine. I can help you find the root cause of these conditions.
Identifying allergies – do you suffer with fatigue, headaches, depression, poor concentration, eczema, or ADHD? Any number of symptoms can relate to allergies or ‘food sensitivities’. Taking a food allergy test may be the end to all your problems.
Balancing hormones – do you suffer with hypothyroidism, diabetes, PMS, infertility, low libido or fatigue? I will explain how to make the correct choices in your diet to bring your hormones into balance.

What to Expect at the ConsultationsYou will require a minimum of 2 consultations, and each lasts 1 ½ hours. We will be covering health history, physical symptoms, fitness level, and your metabolic profile. I will be carrying out mineral and other tests during the first consultation. At the second consultation, we will go over your individual reports: my analysis of your underlying health concerns and state of fitness, your nutrition and dietary protocols, your test results and hand outs relating to the above. Please ring me before booking a consultation, to insure you understand the process, the costs and time involved. Once you chose to go ahead, I will send you questionnaires to complete and return before your first consultation. This will help me to conduct the consultations based on your specific needs.

About MeI have been practicing both nutrition and reflexology since 1995. During this time, I have lectured extensively. I have taught both the public; speaking for various women’s groups and running classes for East Surrey Adult Education, and professionals; developing, running and teaching courses in nutrition at the University of Westminster, London and Raworth International. I am currently a BANT Ethics Committee Member and head up a discussion group for Nutritional Therapists in Surrey.
I am fully insured, registered and qualified, and have been a member of both BANT and NTC since both organisations began.
I am a former restaurateur and an enthusiastic gardener, with a lifetimes’ experience in growing and preparing fruits and vegetables for the table. I am devoted to spreading my knowledge with the aim of helping you to feel better; mentally, physically and emotionally.
Testimonials“I’m achieving ordinary everyday things which I was beginning to think were beyond me – I feel ‘normal’. I am enjoying my daughter immensely now, and this Christmas was the best one I’ve had in 10 years. I now realise that my body has probably not been functioning properly since the onset of puberty – some 30 years ago. If you have any suspicion that your body is not functioning as it should, consult Tamar straight away.”
Nicky “Although I first went to see Tamar for no particular reason, she gave me recommendations for my thyroid condition and tested my homocysteine level, which was corrected through diet and supplements. She also helped me to quit smoking!”
Lin “Through recommendation and after being diagnosed with a serious health problem, I saw Tamar for help with nutrition, together with reflexology to assist me to recover well and continue in good health. She has always supported me well in my quest for optimum health, giving invaluable support and advice and I have, in turn, had not hesitation in recommending her to others.’
Ros ReflexologyReflexology is a gentle, yet powerful complementary therapy. It is based on the principle that all parts of the body have a corresponding point on the foot called a reflex. Massaging the reflexes on the feet stimulates the corresponding organ or body area, which promote self-healing. This stimulation also helps to increase blood circulation, relax the nervous system and increase pain relief. Acupuncture points are also massaged, which helps restore the balance of vital energy in the body; putting you on the road to perfect health.
Why ReflexologyReflexology is a gentle, non-evasive therapy. It is one of the most pleasant of all holistic therapies. It is relaxing and at the same time physically beneficial. Many of today’s health problems are stress related, which reflexology addresses. Appointments take one hour; treatment lasts about 40 minutes. Allow an extra 30 minutes for the first consultation.
IridologyIridology is the science of analysing the structure of the iris (coloured portion) of the eye. The iris, sometimes called ‘the gateway to the soul’ not only enables us to see the outside world, but also reveals what is within ourselves. It helps reveal constitution types, inherited weaknesses and levels of health. This can be very useful, both in helping to identify the root of current problems and also in guiding you in your own personal preventative health life plan. Iridology is not a treatment in itself, but is used as an aid in my other therapies.
