I hold a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from University of Chichester, a MSc in Applied Sport and Exercise Nutrition from Oxford Brookes University and a PhD in Exercise Recovery from Strenuous Exercise using Polyphenols or 'antioxidants' from University of Chichester. Further, I am a Practitioner Registrant with the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr) and a CIMSPA registered Personal Training Practitioner. I have published several peer reviewed research papers in the area of sport and exercise science and nutrition and presented at international conferences.
Through my experience in both the laboratory and applied environments, I am able to use evidence based approaches with my recommendations to clients and ultimately aim to educate them to become self-sufficient. I will always work from a food first approach, believing that we can get everything that we need from food (most of the time). I have experience working with both individual athletes in triathlon, ultra-endurance cycling, marathon running to team sports such as light weight rowing. However, I have also supported many individuals who simply want to improve their health and well-being through correct nutrition and performance coaching.
I like to practice what I preach and am a keen runner, tennis player and gym nut and can often be found hiking and trail running with my dog. I also love to experiment with new foods and recipes at home and share these with my clients.
