Specialising in breast cancer support was a natural choice following my own diagnosis twenty-five years ago. Despite excellent medical care I felt that I needed more than medicine to ensure long term survival. I knew my diet and lifestyle choices had contributed to my health problems, together with my genes. I don’t in any way blame myself for what happened, but I was still keen to take responsibility for recovery.

My search for answers led me into a lifetime of study to learn about optimal and then personal nutrition, and more recently into the wonderful world of nutrigenomics. It is widely acknowledged that personalised medicine is the way to improve cancer outcomes, and there is a growing understanding of the role of diet and lifestyle medicine for cancer, but still we fail to provide this life-saving advice on the NHS.    

I became a nutritional therapist because of the refusal of conventional medicine to recognise the role of diet and lifestyle in oncology outcomes. I desperately needed that knowledge and I realised that others did too. Twenty years later, evidence is growing fast but change is slow, so I still have work to do. I run a busy clinic, helping dozens of clients each year to see their diagnosis with new eyes, and regain their health and happiness. I am also developing an online course so that I can reach more people. My work is firmly based in evidence and experience with a large helping of empathy thrown in.
