about me
Hello and welcome! I’m delighted to have you here and excited to support your path to better health and wellness.
My name is Fran, and I am a certified Nutrition and Lifestyle Advisor with a passion for evidence-based holistic health and wellbeing, which includes nutrition, lifestyle and more. My journey into the world of nutrition began after witnessing several family members and friends struggle with chronic health issues, and for much of my life experiencing my own long-term health challenges, including frequent infections, skin problems, digestive issues, irregular menstrual cycles, and post-viral fatigue that lasted for months, leaving me unable to engage in physical activities or care for my family the way I had before . The turning point came when I realised that nothing I had tried, nor conventional advice, provided the deep, long-lasting healing I was looking for. It was then that I turned to holistic health practices, integrating nutrition and lifestyle changes that would eventually transform my life.
This personal struggle ignited my passion for discovering the powerful impact that nutrition and lifestyle changes can have on health. I began to understand the connection between what I was feeding my body and how I was feeling, and by nourishing myself properly, I started to feel a shift in my energy, digestion and overall health. The journey wasn’t just about food, though. I embraced lifestyle changes that aligned with the rhythms of nature, working with my body’s circadian cycles rather than against them. I prioritised daily habits like sleep, stress management and staying connected with others. I found that through a slow but steady process of incorporating a more holistic, personalised approach, I was able to make meaningful improvements in my own health and wellbeing, and now I’m dedicated to helping others do the same.
The challenges I’ve faced have shaped the way I approach health and healing today. I know firsthand the frustration of feeling unwell and unheard, and I’ve walked my road to recovery. This journey has taught me not only the importance of addressing symptoms but also the need to find and heal the underlying causes of imbalance. It’s my mission to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support you need to feel your best—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I believe that with the right guidance, you too can transform your health, reconnect with your body, and truly thrive.
I hold a Cert. ION Nutrition and Lifestyle Advisor qualification and am currently furthering my studies as a Nutritional Therapy Student at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London, with the goal of becoming a fully certified registered Nutritional Therapist. The BSc Nutritional Therapy course at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) is often considered the gold standard in nutrition education in Europe. It is renowned for its rigorous, evidence-based curriculum and holistic approach to health. This ongoing education allows me to stay at the forefront of the latest scientific research, which I incorporate into my practice. I am also an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration charity, advocating for evidence-based approaches to nutrition and metabolic health.
My philosophy centres on the belief that each person is unique, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to health. I take into account each individual’s background, genetics, circumstances, life events and current needs to create tailored nutrition and lifestyle programmes that help them achieve optimal well-being.
In my current role, I offer one-to-one consultations for individuals who are interested in improving their health but do not have serious medical diagnoses. My focus is on health optimisation and disease prevention, working with people to improve their energy, digestion, metabolic health and overall wellbeing through personalised advice within my scope of practice as a Nutrition Advisor. Additionally, I provide group talks and courses on nutrition and lifestyle topics, aimed at educating and empowering larger audiences.
Thank you for visiting! I’m excited about the opportunity to work together and help you regain your vitality.
