Hi, I’m Lucy — Mum, Chronic illness overcomer, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
About Me
I'm Lucy, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, mum to two little boys, and I live in a quiet market town in Rutland, where we're slowly turning our garden into something that feeds us (with varying degrees of success!).
These days, my life is wonderfully full. Between running my business and raising a baby and a toddler, I often think about how much energy it takes to juggle it all. It's far more than I ever imagined I was capable of in my early twenties.
Back then, things felt very different.
I always seemed to be picking up another illness or dealing with another injury, and in 2018, my health reached a tipping point when I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Looking back, my body had been asking for help for years, but I'd become very good at pushing through and ignoring the warning signs.
As my symptoms worsened, I realised I couldn't carry on as I was. I wanted to understand why my body had become so unwell in the first place. That curiosity led me to nutritional therapy and the growing body of research around how food, sleep, stress, movement, and our environment influence health.
Over time, I made gradual, sustainable changes that transformed my health. Today, I've been in remission for several years, I'm medication-free, and I feel deeply connected to my body. I understand its signals and know how to support it when it needs support.
That journey is the reason I became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
One of the biggest lessons my own health taught me is that a prognosis doesn't define your future. There is always hope, and there is almost always more within your control than you've been led to believe.
I became a nutritional therapist because I want to give people their sense of autonomy back. I want you to understand your body, feel confident in the decisions you make, and know that you have the ability to influence your health every single day.
Medication can be life-changing and, for many people, an essential part of treatment. But lasting health is rarely built on a prescription alone. It's created through understanding your body and consistently giving it what it needs to thrive.
Whether you're struggling with digestive symptoms, autoimmune disease, low energy, or simply don't feel like yourself anymore, I hope to help you reconnect with your health in a way that feels realistic, empowering, and sustainable.
My Approach
I don't believe health is about finding the perfect diet or the latest supplement. I believe our bodies are incredibly resilient when we create the right conditions for them to thrive.
Rather than chasing symptoms, I look at the bigger picture. Every aspect of your health is connected, from the food you eat and how well you digest it, to your blood sugar balance, sleep, stress, movement and environment. Together, these shape how your body functions every day.
My role is to help you understand those connections, uncover the root causes that may be contributing to your symptoms, and give you the knowledge and confidence to support your health in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
My recommendations are rooted in nutritional science and tailored to you, but they're also guided by a simple belief: that many of the habits our bodies need to thrive aren't new or complicated. They're often the ones we've drifted furthest away from in our modern lives.
Let’s have a chat
If you've read this far and you're wondering whether nutritional therapy might be the right next step for you, I'd love to hear your story.
I offer a free, no-obligation 45-minute discovery call, giving us plenty of time to talk through what's been going on with your health, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping to achieve. It's also a chance for you to ask any questions, learn more about how I work, and decide whether we're a good fit.
If it feels right, we can talk about what working together might look like. If not, that's absolutely fine too.
I know reaching out can feel like a big step, but you don't have to figure everything out on your own. I'd love to help you explore your options.
