Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

I am the Director of Vitam Wellbeing Ltd based in Edinburgh and am available to work online. I have been in full-time practice as a Registered Nutritional Therapist since 2010, and have significant experience in successfully supporting a wide range of clients with varying Nutritional Therapy and Lifestyle needs and am comfortable with complex cases.
I have also held a lectureship in Biomedicine and Naturopathic Nutrition since 2014 and devote a significant amount of time to the latest research in a wide range of topics.

I am comfortable working with clients at any life-stage. My focus is on delivering a quality plan that is within a client's abilities. I will suggest functional or genetic testing & supplementation as appropriate.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

I prefer to have an exploratory call with clients prior to the initial appointment to ensure I van meet your expectations. You will then be asked to complete a questionnaire prior to the initial appointment which will last approx. 90 minutes. The aim is to build a picture of your medical and health background with a view to addressing your health and wellbeing issues. Working together, you will then be provided with a collaborative, personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan. This plan is to support your main concerns, keeping you at the centre at all times using a functional medicine approach.
Supplementation, Functional Testing, recipes, lifestyle guidance and naturopathic practices may be used to support your needs.
