What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to expand my expertise in nutrition while contributing to a supportive team environment focused on client health and wellness.

I am a Registered Nutritionist (ANutr) with three years of experience providing one-on-one client consultations, delivering complex health checks and tailored advice. Recently, I launched my own Freelance Nutrition Consultancy, focusing on weight management, hormone health, and long-term lifestyle changes. My multifactorial approach incorporates education, behavior change techniques, and motivational interviewing, ensuring that my methods are evidence-based and effective.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong client base and utilized digital tools to optimize customer experience and track progress. My previous role as a Health Advisor at Bupa involved delivering comprehensive health assessments and building rapport with clients, which was reflected in positive feedback. I have also taken on leadership roles, including training new Health Advisors and managing health and safety protocols, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in the field of nutrition.
