Supporting your hormones, gut health and energy from the inside out.
Why Nutritional Science?
When symptoms keep showing up and your tests keep coming back normal, it's easy to feel like you're going crazy - or that you just have to live this way. You don't.
Nutritional science looks deeper than standard testing. It helps identify the root causes behind hormonal imbalances, gut issues, skin concerns, fatigue, and blood sugar chaos so you can finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you, and start building real, lasting change.
Holistic Nutrition for women who are done guessing
Foundational. Holistic. Evidence-informed.
Rachel is a degree-qualified nutritionist who specialises in hormonal health, gut function, skin health, and energy - with a whole-body approach that goes well beyond food. Every consultation looks at the full picture: nutrition, movement, stress, sleep, your nervous system, hydration, and environmental factors that most practitioners never ask about.
Because your health doesn't exist in isolation, and neither should your care.

Your hormones affect everything. Your energy, your mood, your skin, your weight, your cycle, and your ability to feel like yourself. Yet so many women are told their hormone levels are "normal" and sent home without answers.
As a holistic nutritionist specialising in women's hormonal health, I take a root-cause approach to understanding what's driving your symptoms; whether that's PMOS, endometriosis, thyroid dysfunction, oestrogen dominance, PMS, or PMDD. Rather than masking symptoms, we look at what's underneath them: your gut health, stress response, nutrient status, blood sugar, and cycle patterns.
If your hormones feel like they're working against you, they're not broken - they're communicating. Let's figure out what they're trying to say.
Commonly supported conditions: PMOS (formally PCOS), endometriosis, thyroid imbalances (hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's), oestrogen dominance, PMS, PMDD, irregular cycles, painful periods.

Bloating, irregular digestion, food intolerances, and that constant uncomfortable feeling in your stomach are not things you just have to live with - even if you've been told otherwise.
As a nutritionist with a deep focus on gut health, I work to identify the root causes of your digestive symptoms rather than simply managing them. This might involve exploring conditions like SIBO, leaky gut, IBS, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities, and building a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to support your gut lining, microbiome, and digestive function from the ground up.
I know firsthand what it's like to be handed an IBS diagnosis with no real explanation or support. You deserve better than that.
Commonly supported conditions: bloating, IBS, SIBO, leaky gut, food intolerances, dysbiosis, constipation, reflux.

If you've tried every product and your skin still isn't responding, the answer probably isn't in your skincare routine - it's inside your body.
Skin issues like acne, hormonal breakouts, eczema, rosacea, and dullness are often a reflection of what's happening internally: your gut microbiome, hormone balance, inflammatory load, nutrient deficiencies, and even stress levels.
As a nutritionist specialising in skin health from within, I work with you to identify and address the internal drivers behind your skin concerns - so the results are lasting, not just surface-level.
Clear skin starts from the inside out, and that's exactly where we begin.
Commonly supported concerns: hormonal acne, adult acne, eczema, rosacea, dull or congested skin, skin inflammation.

Waking up tired. Hitting a wall by mid-afternoon. Relying on caffeine just to get through the day. Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep.
Persistent fatigue is one of the most common (and most dismissed) symptoms women experience. It's also one of the most complex, because it's rarely caused by just one thing. As a nutritionist specialising in energy and fatigue, I look at the full picture: your nutrient status, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, gut health, adrenal stress response, sleep quality, and more.
Your exhaustion has a reason. Let's find it.
Commonly supported concerns: chronic fatigue, low energy, adrenal fatigue, burnout, post-viral fatigue, iron deficiency, thyroid-related fatigue.
-
Constant snacking, energy crashes after meals, sugar cravings you can't control, waking at 3am, feeling irritable when you haven't eaten - these are all signs your blood sugar may be dysregulated.
Blood sugar balance is one of the foundations of good health, and it affects far more than most people realise: your hormones, your mood, your energy, your weight, your sleep, and even your skin. As a nutritionist focused on blood sugar regulation, I help you build a way of eating and living that keeps your glucose stable throughout the day without restriction, calorie counting, or cutting out entire food groups.
Stable blood sugar = stable energy, stable mood, and a body that actually feels good to live in.
Commonly supported concerns: blood sugar dysregulation, insulin resistance, sugar cravings, energy crashes, reactive hypoglycaemia, weight management.
-
You might not realise how much your nervous system is affecting your health - but if you're constantly in a state of stress, overwhelm, or hypervigilance, it shows up everywhere: in your hormones, your gut, your sleep, your skin, and your immune system.
True holistic nutrition goes beyond food. As part of my whole-body approach, I assess how your nervous system and chronic stress are contributing to your symptoms and work with you on evidence-informed strategies that support regulation, resilience, and genuine rest. Because you can eat perfectly and still feel awful if your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
Commonly supported concerns: chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, poor sleep, HPA axis dysfunction.

You don't have to be unwell to benefit from working with a nutritionist.
Sometimes the goal is simply to feel better than you currently do - more energised, more resilient, more in tune with your body and to build the kind of health that lasts.
My foundational wellness approach is built around evidence-informed nutrition and lifestyle practices that support long-term health, healthy ageing, and disease prevention. Whether you want to optimise your energy, support your immune system, reduce your toxic load, or simply build sustainable habits that compound over time - this is where we start.
Areas of focus: preventative health, healthy ageing, longevity nutrition, immune support, energy optimisation, sustainable wellness habits.
It's time to stop settling for "normal"
Your blood tests come back fine, but you still don't feel well and no one can explain why.
You're exhausted, bloated or breaking out & it’s been dismissed as "just stress."
You've tried doing all the right things and still feel like you're failing your own body.
You're overwhelmed by conflicting health information and don't know who to trust.
You want to understand what's actually going on - not just handed a prescription & sent home.
You're after a sustainable approach that fits your life, not a restrictive plan you'll stop in 2 weeks.
