I am the founder of FadFree Nutrition and best known for loving Yorkshire tea, strawberries, pork pie, curry and real ale.   

Managing a large family, working freelance and navigating the menopause without HRT due to cancer history, helps me better understand how difficult it is to eat well with the chaos that arises from a busy and demanding life. I also adore my food and drink, perhaps a bit too much! So who am I to be judgemental about diet?

Food is not a moral issue. 

Following a high flying corporate career, years of full time parenting four children and having personally experienced several significant health issues, in 2016 I was ready to pursue a new direction. I updated my academic knowledge at the University of Sheffield and graduated with distinction in a Master of Medical Science degree in Human Nutrition. This complemented my previous first-class Masters degree in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Edinburgh back in the 1990's, which gave me a solid basis for understanding effective strategies for dietary behaviour change.

Working with clients individually and in groups, I have come to realise that sharing information passionately about the science of nutrition is not enough to change lives. So many dietary choices are rooted in psychology, habits and also practicalities and it's these that are difficult to change. 

I give fad-free, practical, flexible and realistic nutritional solutions with a non-judgemental and down-to-earth approach. Food choices really can fit both the scientific evidence and real life.
