Mind, Body and Food
Ongoing digestive symptoms and hormonal changes can take a real toll on mood, sleep, stress and confidence. Annabel brings a compassionate understanding of this connection to every consultation, helping clients feel heard as well as helped.
Therapeutic Style
Annabel's approach is guided by three principles: evidence over trends, warmth over formality, and progress over perfection. She is non-judgmental and easy to talk to, and focuses on sustainable changes that fit real life. Her philosophy is simple: no food fear, just joy and balance.

Annabel is widely recognised for her expertise in gut health, working with clients experiencing IBS, Coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, constipation and food intolerances, including the low FODMAP approach. Her own experience with digestive issues gives her a genuine understanding of how disruptive these symptoms can be.

Annabel also works with clients using GLP-1 medications and those looking to build a healthier relationship with food.
