Looking forward to working with Jacqueline to help me make the right choices
How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
Imperative! Only around 5% of disease has a genetic link, which means the rest is brought about by environmental factors- mainly poor diet but also where and how we live, stress, toxins etc.
Whilst prevention is definitely better than cure, it is still possible to help our bodies to heal through optimum nutrition and a suitable exercise regime.(other factors contribute)
Hippocrates ''Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food''.
That said, you can, of course, treat yourself occasionally. It will not be detrimental to your long-term health.
What do you love most about your job?
Discovering the link between the nutritional deficiencies that may show up on a client's questionnaire, and the negative health symptoms they may be experiencing. The most rewarding moments are when the client has been following a diet and supplement programme for a while, and their symptoms begin to improve, then seeing them with renewed confidence later on, that they are back in control of their health.
What inspired you to start your own business?
A natural, entrepreneurial spirit, and the freedom to develop a business as time goes on.
Why should our clients choose you?
I pride myself on the thoroughness of each plan I present. I want the individual to really understand how nutrients are influencing the condition from which they may be suffering, and what may have lead to them experiencing their symptoms. I also try to help them to feel hopeful that their body is perfectly capable of healing itself given the right conditions.
I have access to science-based information for over 40 conditions, and a team of scientists at hand if I cannot find the information I need.
While I cannot and must not say that the individual will definitely be cured- and obviously some disease is more difficult to treat- I can say that the body will be more able to cope if the suggested plan is followed for at least a period of 3 months.
I am able to liaise with the client's doctor if necessary.
Another reason would be that I am constantly studying to expand my knowledge and areas of specialty.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can certainly provide a remote service. I use Zoom for the meeting with the client, and I use a wonderful online Tool Kit devised by the people at The Health Sciences Academy. It has all the forms I need and the client can just fill those in online and send them back to me electronically.
If the client would like to have all the forms and information in a tangible form, I can enclose it all in a lovely folder and post it to them for a small extra charge (£10).
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
These days, a simple conversation to one-to-one customers to make sure that neither of us have any symptoms that could be Covid-19 related. if there are any cold-like symptoms that one of us may not be sure about, then masks can be worn
Initial meeting ( After client has read signed the legal forms which all nutritional therapists, nutritionists and dieticians are obliged to present)ms
A first meeting of approximately 1 hour .
The client will discuss with me any current health symptoms and tell me about their food, drink and general daily regime.
The Dietary Plan
After the first meeting, I will work on building a plan for the individual's needs. For any nutrients they may be deficient in, I will suggest foods which contain that nutrient and devise a daily regime as similar as possible to the client's current routine.
Specific information will be included, about any health conditions the client may be experiencing and how certain nutrients are linked to that condition.
The plan will be posted or presented to the client before or at the follow-up appointment.
Supplements Plan
This is a separate service whereby I will carry out two questionnaire assessments from which I can then calculate the required daily amounts of each essential nutrient for the client. The amounts are then entered onto a plan sheet along with some ideas for products and how to achieve the amounts needed.
