You may work with our Registered Nutritional Therapists Keeley or Pam in 121 sessions, but in the background there is a team approach.

Professional
Both Pam and Keeley come from professional medical backgrounds with a high level of attainment in these areas. Keeley, a dentist and Pam a Palliative Care Nurse. Both have MSc degrees. They are confident working with complex conditions, and happy to communicate with your medical team, should that be necessary.
Evidence based
The advice we provide is backed up with scientific evidence. We regularly research the current literature, and our recommendations will be guided by those studies, and our clinical experience.
Safe
We work with clients who take numerous medications. We will never ask you to stop any medication, but we can advise you of nutrient depletions that may occur as a result of the medications you are taking. We will also take careful consideration when recommending supplements and utilise a database to check for interactions between the recommended supplement and your medication.
The term ‘Nutritionist’ is a broader term and can include working in science and development, or with policy and guidance on healthy eating.
A Nutritional Therapist may consider herself a ‘Nutritionist’ when she is working with groups of individuals, and not in a clinical setting on a one-to-one basis.
Yes, as part of your Nutritional Therapy programme we will make recommendations that may include what you are eating, when you are eating, how you are eating and where you are eating. We will offer a rationale for these changes based on your own health goals and offer recipe suggestions, support and guidance along the way.
Yep! Only joking; we don’t do crazy foods – only delicious, nutrient dense meals that leave you feeling satisfied, energised and ready for life!
Possibly…. At the start of the programme, we dig deep and get a real sense of what you want to achieve. If we feel some foods may be impacting negatively on your symptoms and may be preventing you achieving your goals, we will advise you to eliminate them for a given period. We offer detailed, tasty menu alternatives!
Yes we can help!
We have worked with many clients who have extensive health conditions. Often numerous symptoms can result from a common root cause. We work with the principles of Functional Medicine, so we take a deep dive into your health history, emotional stresses, previous injuries, encounters and environmental factors to try identify triggers and mediators which may be contributing to your current symptoms. We work with the body as one interconnected unit. We look at imbalances in body systems, deficiencies and excesses which might be at the root of the problems. Then we address these issues working holistically, with the intention of resolving symptoms.
Nutritional Therapy is as successful as the commitment you give to it. If you are committed and motivated to follow the recommendations and advice offered Nutritional Therapy is likely provide so much more than you initially thought possible. It can involve changing some deeply ingrained habits, which can feel challenging at first, but this is easier when you have a support team like EoH with you.
The reason why we are so committed to Nutritional therapy, and why we have left successful careers, is because we can see the incredible impact Nutritional Therapy can have.
We work with programmes rather than individual appointments because health conditions do not generally resolve in one or two appointments.
Changing behaviours and habits is part of this process, but this can take time.
The programmes we offer at EoH ensure changes to diet and lifestyle can be made gradually over the twelve-week period, without it being overwhelming and that positive behavioural changes can be established for the long term.
