About Alison
I am a registered Nutritional Therapist BSc (hons), mBANT, mCNHC, mNWTF who is passionate about empowering women globally to reclaim their health during the menopause transition (perimenopause, menopause, post menopause and beyond) through realistic evidence-based nutrition, mindset and lifestyle modifications. I was lucky enough to grow up on a farm in Southern England which gave me a great love for nature and the outdoor life and on top of that my mother was a professional chef who allowed me from a very young age to help and watch her in the kitchen. This was the beginning of my love for food. I have travelled extensively and lived in different parts of the world. This has given me the opportunity to experience different cultures, cuisines and lifestyles.

Having had a career in the health and beauty industry for over 30 years, I was always amazed to see how simple lifestyle and nutritional changes could improve not only women’s health and well-being but also their happiness. Throughout my career journey, my underlying passion has always been about improving midlife women’s health using the power of nutrition, lifestyle modifications and mindset. It gives me great pleasure to help midlife women overcome their health issues so that they can look and feel amazing. I truly believe that with good nutritious food, a positive mindset and health promoting lifestyle choices the body can heal itself and age healthily. My aim is to focus on positive nutrition - it's not about restriction, it's about what we can include in our diet for maximum health.

I combine my understanding, enthusiasm and passion with my love of food to help people become the best versions of themselves.

When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, being in the kitchen and experimenting with new recipe ideas. I am also a keen scuba diver, golfer, hiker, beekeeper and enjoy being in the great outdoors.  I am British but am living in Swe
