Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? My last blog post, it appears, was over 4 years ago. How very naughty of me. When running a business, it’s very important to keep up with blog writing, for SEOs, engaging with your audience and all that jazz. What’s my excuse? Well… life I guess.
I was clearly slightly motivated during lockdown to put out some inspiring content as I did write about supporting the immune system and keeping those stuck-at-home kids fed and well. But then things went quiet. Covid was a bit of a struggle for businesses like mine relying on face-to-face contact and in-person events. I ended up neglecting my business and picking up work with some local community organisations.
Oh, and I had a baby in that time too. Babies, as we know, can be quite time consuming! So I’ve been a bit side-tracked with my bundle of joy for the last (almost) 2 years. But she’s growing up and is off to nursery and having the best time, leaving me with some time to really focus on my work. And with the help of my amazing coach, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.
For those of you who are new to The Mind & Body Tree - hello - thanks for stopping by - here’s a bit of an introduction to who I am and what I do. For those who have been around for a while - thanks for sticking around and supporting me - here’s a bit about how things have changed and what I’m up to now.
Nutritional Therapy
I qualified in 2017 as a Nutritional Therapist and am registered with BANT and CNHC. What does that mean? It means I’m qualified, and experienced, in supporting you to make dietary and lifestyle changes to support your health in various ways. What I can help with…
Postnatal nutrition
Food intolerance support
Weight management support
Nutritional therapy for chronic conditions
Stress and anxiety nutrition support
Blood sugar management
Nutritional supplements advice
Personalised nutritional therapy
Gut health
Hormone balance
Functional nutrition
Digestive health support
Immune health support
Family nutrition
Nutrition for fertility
I know nutrition can be a minefield. I know there’s tons of information (and misinformation) out there. I know it can be hard to get started on a new path, especially if you’re not sure you’re on the right path to begin with.
That’s where I can help. With my qualifications and experience, I can cut through all that noise and create a plan that’s personalised to you. I’m also with you every step as the way as you begin to implement the recommendations into your daily life.
What’s changed recently? Well I’ve switched my packages up a bit. I, and many other NTs like me, were taught the ‘initial consultation’ and ‘follow up’ method of working with clients. Which is all fine, but I was finding the lapse in time between initial and follow up wasn’t always optimal for getting the best out of my clients. So, I’ve switched to more of a coaching style, where I see my clients weekly, or two-weekly, for regular check-ins. This gives clients more access to me for trouble shooting, getting support, making tweaks to plans, getting regular additional ideas and inspiration and generally just allows us to work more closely together.
I have kids, I run a business, I know the challenges you face in this hectic life. I’m here to make it easy and manageable for you to make the changes you need to so that, as Dr Chatterjee would put it, you can ‘feel better and live more’.
Events & Workshops
If personalised nutritional therapy isn’t right for you, I also run a number of nutrition focused workshops and events to help you get your head around a particular topic, understand your body better and empower you with tips and tools to make a difference in how you feel. Over the next few months, my workshops are mainly based around hormone health and gut health. You can find me at:
The elephant rooms running workshops on:
Derby’s Ethical Christmas Market running a Christmas kraut making session - Saturday 16th November, 11am-12.30pm
Whistlewood Common, Melbourne, running a gut health masterclass and kraut making workshop - Sunday 1st December (details coming soon)
What else?
I have a few other potential events and collaborations in the pipeline - watch this space!
In the meantime, if you are involved with a community organisation or work for a business that you’d like me to come and speak at - get in touch. I’m really keen to deliver more workshops in the community and support workplaces to empower their staff to eat well and live well.
If you’ve read this far - thanks for being here! Your support and engagement is really appreciated. I’ll leave you with a nice testimonial a client I recently finished working with left for me:
Have a great day!
