About Me – Nutritionist & Acne specialist
16 YEARS CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Since 2010, I’ve helped thousands of people improve their skin through nutrition. Over the years, I’ve learnt that dietary changes can make a real difference to acne, but there’s rarely one simple cause or solution. Everyone’s skin is different, which is why understanding the factors behind your breakouts is so important.
MSc NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE
As a nutritionist with a science-focused approach, I look beyond the physical appearance of skin, and focus on understanding what’s going on beneath the surface. I pay particular attention to factors such as hormones and gut health, and helping you to make sense of your acne.
My Approach
GOOD SKINCARE MATTERS TOO
Nutrition is a huge part of my approach to acne, but I’m also a big believer in getting your skincare right. I have a keen interest in skincare ingredients and how they work, so I can help you choose products that actually make a difference.
It’s easy to get caught up using lots of different acids, retinol and other actives, but more isn’t always better. Overdoing it can damage your skin barrier and make acne even harder to manage. I focus on simple, effective routines using a few well-chosen active ingredients.
WHEN FOOD ISN’T ENOUGH
Food should always come first, but with modern diets often falling short of key nutrients, supplements can sometimes help address nutritional gaps. I focus on choosing evidence-based and well-absorbed nutrient forms where there’s a genuine need. No unnecessary tablets to take and definitely no complicated regimes.
Work Experience Beyond the Clinic
Over the years, I’ve worked across different areas of nutrition, including menu planning for establishments such as the Hilton London, and working within the supplement industry. I’ve also contributed to leading consumer magazines and health blogs including Women’s Health, The Telegraph and Igennus.
These experiences have given me a broader understanding of food, nutrition and how to make healthy eating practical and achievable in everyday life.
My Educational Background
After graduating in 2007 with a BSc in Medical Engineering, I went on to study a masters degree in Nutritional Medicine and a diploma in Nutritional Therapy. My scientific background has shaped the way I approach nutrition, combining an understanding of how the body works with practical, evidence-based advice.
