“It’s not about kale & chick peas, holistically it’s about the person from top to bottom. I have never come across anybody who has a fantastic diet but has really poor sleep and is doing well, we need all of these bits together.”

Clare’s Signature Story:

• A certified nutritionist and health coach and mum of 3 children – the motivation for doing what I do today.
• Once in a busy corporate career, I now specialise in helping women transform their own and their family’s health.
• Providing families with the tools to create lifelong healthy habits and help kids thrive.
• With 2 young children and a demanding corporate job, I started to put my own health and nutrition way down my list of priorities, my energy levels were on the floor, I was exhausted yet wasn’t sleeping well.
• Around this time, my little boy was starting to show signs of significant sensory issues that would eventually require additional support and help. Meal-times became very stressful and getting him to eat anything healthy was becoming a real and worrying challenge.
• So I went in search of answers.
• I tried to teach myself what I could. I read and researched, but was completely frustrated by the overwhelming, conflicting and at times misleading information out there.
• But I was disheartened that I couldn’t find the answers I needed to help my son. I learned that even the most well-read, health conscious parent can feel lost when it comes to nutrition.
• It was then I decided to go back to college and study nutrition and from that my business was born.
• I now specialise in empowering women to transform their health and live healthier, happier lives.
• Giving them the tools to create lifelong healthy habits, increase energy levels, reduce stress, improve sleep and feel confident again.
• Helping to break punishing diet cycles and overwhelm, taking the stress out of mealtimes and helping their families thrive

Describe your ideal client:

• All Programmes have been carefully designed to incorporate the most important elements of health – sleep, diet and lifestyle.

What are the aspects/approach that are unique to you / your business?

• I have living experience of the areas that I work in.
• Many years working in the corporate sector in highly pressurised business environments, I understand only too well the pressure of a busy corporate life and the impact it can have in overall health and wellness.
• And now I 10 years of lived experience in the area of family nutrition.
• It can be daunting to ask for help. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for mothers lacking in energy, who feel overwhelmed and who are concerned about their children’s nutrition.
• Small changes in diet and lifestyle can have a profound and positive effect on health. I teach people how to do this and how to create healthy habits that last.
• Advice I give is informed, simple, gets results and perhaps most importantly comes from personal experience.

This is what I do and I am fortunate to have received many wonderful testimonials from those who have sought my help.
