our services
weight management
I’ve developed a proven and effective weight loss plan that targets body fat reduction while working to maintain lean mass and keep you healthy and happy. You are provided with a nutrition and diet plan based on your goals, preferences, and activity level. I’m a numbers and data girl so that is what will form the basis of your plan. PLUS you also get some pretty tasty recipes. You’ll learn about what macronutrients and portion sizes are right for you, as well as other factors that impact fat burning and storage. I do not endorse cutting food groups unless where medically necessary. My weight loss plan is nutritionally balanced and the concepts are easily incorporated into busy lifestyles.
You can opt for a one-off consultation – that is the one hour Initial Consultation – or stick it out with the 8 Week Weight Loss Plan. The latter provides 8 weeks of one-to-one support and accountability while tracking progress, which can be crucial when trying to make new dietary habits stick. If you go for a one-off appointment, you can still book in for casual follow ups when and if needed.
digestive health & food intolerances
A healthy gut is vital for overall health. Your gut is home for trillions of gut microbiota which supply essential nutrients, and are critical for a functioning immune system and efficient gut barrier. An imbalanced gut microbiome or “dysbiosis” is associated with many health conditions and can impact weight gain, inflammation, hormonal fluctuations, and mental wellbeing. Signs of an unhealthy gut or dysbiosis include significant bloating, gas, reflux, constipation and/or diarrhoea. These symptoms are typical of many structural or functional disorders of the gut such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), autoimmune diseases such as Coeliacs, inflammatory bowel diseases, plus food allergies or intolerances.
Dietary modifications are well known to help relieve and manage symptoms of various gut disorders and food intolerances. However, every patient requires a unique approach as there is a wide range of variability within conditions, and between guts!
We have developed the GOOD GUT PLAN, a program designed to guide you through a thorough food elimination and re-introduction plan to determine which foods are right for you, and to help reduce or eliminate unwanted gut symptoms and inflammation. We also provide up-to-date and science-backed advice on what tests and health supplements might be right for you.
nutrition for sport & exercise
Do you workout? Play a sport? Want to optimise your performance? Or gain some muscle? Whether you are an avid gym goer, first time marathon runner, or competitive athlete, proper nutrition plays an essential role for maintaining and improving exercise performance. In fact, your diet could be the difference between performing well enough and being the best you can be. This is because nutrition influences almost every process in the body during movement and recovery, from energy production, stamina, and importantly, progress. If you are interested in a plan that will fuel your exercise and optimise results, we’ve got you. We can help navigate macro’s, total energy intake, timing, what supplements work best for your specific goals, as well as providing body composition analysis and customised meal plans.
plant based diets
Are you on a plant based diet or considering the idea, and not sure if you are getting all of the nutrients you need for optimal health?
Plant based diets encompass a wide range of dietary patterns that generally contain lower amounts of, or no animal products, while including higher quantities of, or exclusively, plant products. Plant based diets are increasingly recognised for their health benefits and for aiding the prevention and management of cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. In fact, health benefits tend to increase as food intake from plant sources increase. However, if not managed carefully, there is a risk of inadequate nutrient intake for optimal health. Particularly in vulnerable populations such as children, adolescents, and pregnant and breastfeeding women. This can be easily overcome by choosing a wide range of whole-foods, and where necessary, supplementation. With guidance from belle époque nutrition, a vegan or any plant based diet can be a rewarding, varied and healthy diet for all stages of life.
nutrition for fertility and pregnancy
Proper nutrition around conception, pregnancy and lactation is vital to optimise baby’s growth and development. Factors such as diet, stress and lifestyle can impact not only the mother but also the health of the baby via epigenetic mechanisms. Women have very specific nutritional needs for fertility and conception, healthy weight gain during pregnancy, and nutritional support post-pregnancy. For expecting mums, life is often packed with work, family, and other responsibilities, which is why it is so important to benefit from personalised nutritional counselling, specific to your lifestyle, family dynamics and work commitments.
nutrition for older adults
Our ageing population is growing. Often, improvements in lifespan are not matched with improvements in health-span, meaning these extra years of living could be spent in poor health.
Loss of skeletal muscle mass (which begins in your 40’s!) is a major contributor to frailty in older adults, leading to increased risk of immobility, obesity and chronic disease. However, this can be easily and effectively managed through targeted nutrition. In your 60’s and beyond, its crucial that you receive optimal and age-specific nutrition, to extend and enjoy the best years of your life. In particular, getting the right quantity of protein, fibre, with special emphasis on certain micronutrients is paramount for maintaining muscle mass, while supporting a healthy gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and immune system.
