DIETARY THERAPY
​
As a Dietary Therapist, I place great emphasis on prevention and encourage the maintenance of your health through close attention to balance in your life. I will guide you to understand how to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness, according to your own individual constitution.
Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy, an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics, which comprises their own constitution. This constitution is determined at conception by a number of factors and remains the same throughout one’s life.
Many factors, both internal and external, act upon your body to disturb this balance and are reflected as a change in your constitution from the balanced state. Examples of these emotional and physical stresses include one’s emotional state, diet and food choices, seasons and weather, physical trauma, work and family relationships. Once these factors are understood, you can take appropriate actions to nullify or minimise their effects or eliminate the causes of imbalance and re-establish one’s original constitution. Balance is the natural order; imbalance is disorder. Health is order; disease is disorder. Within the body there is a constant interaction between order and disorder. When you understand the nature and structure of disorder, you can re-establish order.

Good nutrition is essential for good health and a rich life. At its core, the purpose of food is to nourish the body and maintain health and vitality. It is preventative medicine. The majority of today’s illnesses are chronic and entirely preventable. Roughly 75% of healthcare spending goes to treating preventable diseases and about 15 million people of the adult population in the UK have chronic health conditions. Proper nutrition in the form of a lifestyle diet should be key whether promoting well-being or when treating disharmonies in the body.
