ALLERGIES – Ann’s Personal Story
“My own health was restored through nutrition which deeply inspired me to help others suffering with their health”
For years, I lived with multiple, allergies, digestive discomfort, rhinitis and confusing symptoms that no one seemed able to fully explain. I saw many specialists, but each appointment left me with more questions than clarity. Deep down, I knew there had to be a better way – one that looked beyond symptoms and asked why.
This led me to discover the incredible healing power of nutritional medicine, and eventually to study it at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. Through that process, I learned how nutrition and lifestyle can transform health from the inside out. By uncovering and addressing the root causes of my own symptoms, I was able to restore balance, heal my body, and feel well again.
Today, it is my privilege to help others do the same. I bring together scientific knowledge, lived experience, and genuine care to guide each client toward lasting health and confidence.
I have a special interest in allergies and food intolerances, particularly where they relate to IBS, digestive issues, skin conditions such as eczema, and hormonal imbalances. I have supported many clients, including babies and children, with excellent results.
I am married with two absolutely awesome adult sons and an amazing grandson we dote on!
If you are looking for a Nutritional Therapist in Surrey and London to support your gut health, skin or hormonal concerns, I would love to hear from you.
