About Vanessa

I specialise in one thing: helping women who are exhausted, flat, and stuck to finally understand why.

I'm a nutritional therapist and HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) practitioner, working with women across the UK and internationally who are dealing with persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood, anxiety, and poor sleep - symptoms that haven't been properly explained, despite trying many things.

Why I Do This Work

In 2021, I lost my father suddenly. What followed was months of prolonged stress, and by the end of that year, the impact on my health was impossible to ignore.

The fatigue was overwhelming. My energy disappeared, my mood dropped, and I withdrew from everyday life. I did everything I knew - blood tests, nutrition, supplements, rest - and nothing shifted.

That's when I explored Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for the first time. It showed me exactly what the grief and stress had done: depleted the minerals that drive energy production, regulate mood, and support stress resilience. Once I began working with a personalised protocol, things changed - steadily, and in a way that felt deep and lasting.

I felt like myself again. And when I saw the same patterns in my clients, with the same results, I knew this needed to become a structured programme.

Experience

Since then, I've trained at an advanced level in HTMA, and I mentor practitioners internationally, and have supported over 500 women through this process.

Some Random Facts About Me

1. I'm half English and half Middle Eastern which explains my addiction to Lebanese food! In fact, if I was asked what my last meal would be, it would be Warak Enab (stuffed vine leaves) and Spinach Fatayer (spinach parcels)!

2. I ran my ancestry DNA report a few years back and it showed that I have a DNA profile which is prone to having no sense of direction... and this is 100% true! I do however have a great photographic memory for places I've been before...

3. I used to work with horses. From the age of 7, horses were (and still are) my passion, and at 16 I left school to start my career with them. Unfortunately, my back had other ideas and I had to give up on my dreams. I started riding again 4 years ago and it is one of my biggest joys!

4. On a similar note... I am an animal lover! And have been since I was very young. My mum shares stories of collecting me from friends' birthday parties and being told "she's been ever so good. In fact, we hardly saw her, she spent most of the party with our pet dog/cat/rabbit!"

5. My favourite place is the forest, surrounded by trees, especially the New Forest, where I grew up. I'm an earth sign (Taurus) and I have a huge draw to the countryside and woods. It's where I feel most alive.

6. I like my house to be uber tidy... as long as you don't open any cupboards! External neatness and internal chaos lol. Just my house though not myself :)

7. My favourite number is 7 ... need I say more...

What Is Nutritional, Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy is an evidence-based approach to maximising one’s health potential through individually formulated nutritional and lifestyle changes.

It is client-centred and systems-based biology approach that focuses on finding the root cause of ill health.

It promotes the benefits of good, wholesome, unprocessed foods for optimal well-being, as well as the therapeutic effects of particular foods for specific health conditions.

The main principle is to identify and address the underlying cause of an individual’s symptoms or health concerns based on the person as a whole and then recommend a revised lifestyle plan which includes appropriate foods, nutrients and supplements.
