My Journey

I’m Clare

BA (Hons) DipION mBANT rCNHC

I’m a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Nutritionist, member of the British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (mBANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (rCNHC).

As a self-confessed foodie, I believe one of life’s principal joys is eating good food, very closely followed by the satisfaction you get from creating a delicious meal for yourself and the people you love. Preparing and sharing food is a wonderful way to connect with friends, family and your community. I also believe that connecting with where your food comes from, and becoming a part of a community with shared goals, can positively impact your physical and mental health and wellbeing. Connecting with organic growers and farmers locally, who respect and retain greater environmental diversity, yielding higher welfare, sustainable and seasonal produce, is healthier for you, your community and, most importantly, our planet.

While studying for my BA (Hons) in International Development, at the University of East Anglia, I volunteered as a teacher with El Nahual, a non-profit NGO in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. Whilst there, I discovered I loved working with children and young adults, and this led me into a career in support work within the education sector. Now I am an experienced and passionate coach and mentor, having extensive professional experience working with both individuals and groups to facilitate learning, engagement and empowerment.

In 2017 I decided to combine my passion for coaching and mentoring with my love of good food. I began studying Nutritional Therapy at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, London. Since graduating I have been practicing privately and continue to develop my knowledge with regular research and professional training. In addition to loving the work I do, Nutritional Therapy has enabled me to feel at my best and get on top of my own health concerns which tended to be mostly hormone related. I am now pregnant for the first time and am delighted to feel in such a strong position, to care for myself, throughout and post pregnancy, and for my baby too.

I feel so lucky that my work is something that means so much to me and privileged to be able to share my two passions in life…

Coaching, mentoring and empowering people
Celebrating my love of high quality, healthy and delicious food

What People Are Saying

“Clare has a kind, genuine and warm manner. She is a good listener and is thorough in her research. I have suffered for over 15 years with various health issues including Ankylosing Spondylitis. It has been hard to find someone who is both knowledgeable and willing to listen, understand and offer support during but also outside of scheduled consultations. I have come to learn that ongoing support is vital when undertaking this kind of lifestyle adjustment. Clare's approach is realistic and achievable, which can be maintained long term. My goals are being achieved with Clare's help, for which I am very thankful!”

— Sheila, Ennis

“Clare was warm and friendly from the outset. She listened carefully when I described my diet patterns and concerns. She helped me set some goals from which she provided a tailored plan of action on how we could go about reaching them. She made lots of practical and well informed suggestions as well as sharing some great recipes which made me feel really supported throughout the process. Clare genuinely cared about me and my progress. Her thoughtful and committed approach meant that I was able to finally make some long term diet and lifestyle changes that I had been putting off for a long time. I now feel far more educated on the topic of nutrition and far more in control of my own health and wellbeing.”

— Nadia, London

“Clare was very knowledgeable and informative and gave me practical nutritional guidance on how to manage my diet to meet the demands of a fairly hectic work schedule combined with family commitments and fitness goals. Her advice enabled me to make the right food and lifestyle choices that ultimately provided me with a much healthier sense of calm and wellbeing. Clare was excellent at listening to my story and selecting products and recommendations unique to my everyday.”
