I started Bromsgrove Allergy and Nutrition in 2000.
I had always been interested in diet and the impact it can have on the body. It’s an interest that first started when I was introduced to Naturopathy, a natural approach to illness while living in the USA.
I then spent 2 years in Japan , eating a clean diet , where I felt a huge difference in energy, skin, moods and focus.
Upon returning to the UK, following the death of my Mother to oesophagus cancer, after years of digestive problems, I decided to pursue my interest in diet and became qualified in Nutrition and Allergy Therapy, for which I earned a distinction.
I then then went on to do further studies in Biomedicine at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Birmingham, followed by regular Professional Development Courses including Children’s health and fertility diets. I have also studied thyroid and adrenal health and specializes in skin and bowel disorders.
Since opening the clinic in May 2000, I have helped countless clients of all ages improve their health, with my training and knowledge in food intolerance’s . Not only do I have a wide knowledge base when it comes to health , diet and in particular food allergies, I also use my intuition and am able to identify the root cause of many of my client’s symptoms.
Also I use Kinesiology as a tool to support my knowledge and training. One of the main benefits of kinesiology testing is that it can detect food intolerances , which are often temporary. On the other hand, traditional blood testing is useful for detecting severe allergies , rather than temporary intolerances. Food intolerances often do not present themselves in the blood and so are difficult to detect via blood testing methods.
Food intolerances are much more common and a major cause of stomach and bowel problems , in particular , as opposed to food allergies which are more often involved in skin conditions such as eczema.
However, I only use it as an extra tool, but not as a main means of identifying food intolerances with my clients.
I find that as the kinesiology is non invasive , my clients are generally comfortable with the testing , and most client’s find it interesting . Although often they can find it difficult to understand how it works.
Some people have needle phobias or a fear of blood and prefer this gentle but effective means of confirming foods that may not suit them. Results are also instant , which means client’s can get on with the next stage of the Programme without delay.
My results can be seen clearly by my client’s testimonials, and hopefully they offer some reassurance and confidence, especially for anyone who may be sceptical or unsure about the muscle testing.
My knowledge, along with my personable and holistic approach to my clients, has allowed me to gain a valued reputation in this field .
