about

I love to dig deep into my clients' symptoms — and the reasons why a certain approach may, or may not, work for them.

I'm Anna — a Registered Nutritional Therapist (dipCNM, rCNCH, mBANT) and Genomics PhD, working with people who want to understand what's actually going on in their body, and what to do about it.

my story

From science to a science of one

My background is in science and research. I hold a PhD in genomics from the University of Oxford, an MSc in Pharmacogenetics and Stratified Medicine from UCL, and a BSc in Biomedical Sciences. After years of working in research, investigating the genetic differences in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, I trained as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner so I could put that science to work for individual people.

As with most people who study nutritional therapy, I also embarked on my own health journey. After years of hormonal imbalances, irregular periods and anxiety, nutritional therapy has really helped me to optimise my own health — and given me a deep respect for what good care can do.

Today I work 1:1 with clients online and in person at my clinic in Hurstpierpoint, and I write and consult for healthcare professionals, companies, and brands working in nutrition, medicine, and genomics.

my approach

What I stand for

Seven principles guide every plan I write and every conversation I have.

Evidence-based

Every recommendation is grounded in current nutrition and lifestyle medicine research.

Personalised

No two plans are the same. Yours is built around your body, your life and your goals.

Holistic

Food is one part of the picture. Sleep, stress, movement and environment all matter too.

Empowering

My job is to give you the understanding to take care of yourself for life — not to keep you dependent.

Compassionate

No judgement. Health is rarely linear, and your story is welcome here.

Collaborative

We work together, and where helpful, alongside your GP or other practitioners.

Consistent

Healing happens through steady, sustainable change — not quick fixes that don't last.

off the clock

Outside the clinic

I love spending time outside in nature — especially in the South Downs close to where I live. I'm also a relatively new mum, and the journey into motherhood has given me a new perspective and deeper knowledge to bring to my clients.

When I'm not seeing clients or writing content, I'm usually playing with my son, cooking, reading, or practising yoga, Qi Gong or meditation — all of which feel as important to my wellbeing as anything I prescribe.
