BSc(Hons) mBANT rCNHC
I´m a BANT-Registered Nutritional Therapist, with a degree in Nutrition Science, and I specialise in fertility. I´m dedicated to helping women and couples to understand what is going on for them on their fertility journey and take back control of their path to parenthood.
My work is centred around providing science-backed, personalised and compassionate support and guidance through targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies, based on your unique situation.
If you want to cut through the noise, get to the root cause of your fertility struggles, and be supported every step of the way in implementing changes to bring you closer to your baby, you´re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Charlotte
I became interested in nutrition following a dietary change to vegetarianism and the ensuing comments around how I would meet my protein requirements. This led to a deep dive into food and I was astounded by how little I knew about something we do several times a day. It blew my mind, and I just had to understand how it all worked!
Soon after, I enrolled at the excellent Centre for Nutriton Education and Lifestyle Medicine (CNELM) and, after over 4 years of rigorous training, achieved a First Class Bachelor´s Degree in Nutrition Science and a diploma in Personalised Nutrition, providing comprehensive clinical training and meeting the requirements for membership of BANT and CNHC.
I have since undergone further specialist fertility training and I continue to undertake regular research and training to keep abreast of the latest scientific advances and ensure I am offering the best support to my clients.
My own fertility journey whilst completing my studies paved the way for the work I do today, providing me with a strong desire to use my years of extensive study to support others who are struggling as I was. It gave me empathy for how overwhelming, all-consuming and often lonely trying to conceive can be, and, ultimately, the knowledge and confidence that there is always more that can be done.
my journey
Think of me as your personal health detective!
I take a science-backed, root-cause approach, digging deep to understand what is really going on for you in order to create a personalised protocol to move forwards. I look at the body as a whole - as opposed to just focusing on one body system, as is often the case in a more conventional approach to healthcare - because no system works in isolation, and doing anything less is doing yourself a disservice. Everything is interconnected and an imbalance in one area may, and likely will, impact many others.
I approach every client and case with curiosity. I want to know what is going on with your gut, your hormones, your immune system, your stress, your sleep, what you are exposed to in your environment.. I will likely ask questions you haven´t been asked before, and this is all to help put together the puzzle of your unique fertility journey and work out what the missing piece or pieces could be.
My goal isn´t just to help you to have a baby - it´s to help you have a healthy pregnancy and baby, and thrive whilst doing so. It´s to support you in making long-lasting changes that will benefit the health of you and your family for years to come.
