About Donna 

Donna has a client-centred approach focusing on each person's unique needs, desires and goals. She uses a holistic approach, taking into account the whole person and their health picture, and always looks for the underlying root cause of any symptoms and health challenges.  

Naturopathic nutrition is based on supporting health through the healing power of whole and organic foods, nutrients, and also about supporting the body through healthy habits and healthier lifestyle.

Donna offers food and dietary support, uses traditional naturopathic techniques, good quality supplements and diagnostic testing. She has an empathetic, gentle approach, and enjoys sharing her knowledge with clients, motivating them and supporting them on their pathway to better health, vitality and calmness.

Donna has been involved in nutrition for over seven years. Initially this related to dealing with her own health issues, but she soon realized that she would like to take things further and become a nutritional therapist herself. Coming from a busy corporate environment, Donna understands the challenges people face when trying to implement dietary and lifestyle changes into their busy lifestyle. She is supportive and passionate about the positive impact healthy living can have on our lives.

Donna is also a trained Kinesiologist, which means she can provide instant-results testing for food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and other blockages to health for her clients. Many people prefer this non-invasive, painless method over blood testing for allergies and intolerances.

Donna works with clients of all conditions and ages and enjoys the diversity of her work. She has a special interest in dealing with the following:

• Digestive health

• Food Intolerances

• Osteoporosis

• Healthy ageing

• Heart health

• Detox support

• Stress management

• Auto-immune conditions

• Chronic Fatigue / ME  / Fibromyalgia

"I went to see Donna with some trepidation as I have never seen a professional about my eating habits or my weight problems before now. I soon realised that I was in the right place. Firstly Donna talked me through my medical problems, my medication, my current diet and what I would like to achieve. She then proceeded to help me understand how my body works, which foods would be beneficial for me and which not, portion sizes, best times to eat, which supplements to take, which teas are the best for me ,very helpful recipes and most importantly Donna gave me the confidence that I needed to succeed. I can't express adequately my gratitude to Donna for her understanding, her honesty and her support that she has given me throughout this period of my life. I am now emotionally and physically stronger than I have ever been. Thank you Donna you are truly amazing!"

"Donna took great care in listening to me and came up with some useful instant suggestions. She then followed this up with in-depth research to find the best way of working with the longer term issues I brought to her."

"We first visited Donna when my mum was recovering from a severe bout of pneumonia and was generally in very poor health. Donna's consultation and investigations were comprehensive, with no stone left unturned. We were particularly impressed with the level of knowledge she has about conventional western medicine and how it interacts with various supplements. And what she didn't know, she researched! Donna was keen to identify the root cause of my mum's problems and to help support her back to good health. She designed a detailed programme of nutritional advice and supplements to help achieve this. the majority of which we implemented. All of her suggestion were spot on and have helped bring about a dramatic change in my mum's health using natural methods. For example, her advice on balancing electrolytes meant we were able to increase my mum's potassium levels with coconut water rather taking a potassium supplement, which comes with its own risks. As a result, my mum's potassium levels went from a downward trajectory to being consistently mid-range and balancing well with her sodium levels. We are thoroughly impressed with the advice and supported provided by Donna, and have no hesitation in reccommending her to anyone looking to address health issues or just to improve their health in general"
