Meet Tamara

I'm Tamara, a Registered Nutritional Therapist specialising in sports nutrition and weight management.

Nutritional therapy uses food, nutrition and lifestyle changes to support your health and help your body work at its best. I take a holistic approach, looking at the whole person rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

My passion for nutrition started through my own health journey. From childhood into adulthood, I experienced a number of health challenges, including gut issues, allergies, intolerances and recurring throat infections. Working with a nutritional therapist myself opened my eyes to the powerful role that nutrition and lifestyle can play in supporting our health and wellbeing.

Read more of my story

My journey continued when my two sons experienced their own health challenges, including allergies, gut issues, asthma and eczema. As a mum I wanted to understand more and find ways to support them so I began studying, researching and learning as much as I could about nutrition and health.

Once my sons were older, I decided to turn my passion into a career.

I initially worked as a generalist nutritional therapist, supporting clients with a wide range of concerns including digestive health, hormones, energy, wellbeing and weight management. This gave me a real appreciation of how interconnected the body is and that health is rarely about looking at one symptom in isolation.

Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to working with active people who were exercising regularly but still struggling with things such as low energy, poor recovery, digestive issues, hormonal changes or difficulty managing their weight.

This naturally led me towards specialising in holistic sports nutrition and weight management.

My approach

Today, I combine evidence-based sports nutrition with a personalised, whole-person approach.

Whether you're training for your first event, preparing for a marathon, building strength in the gym, taking on a CrossFit challenge, improving your endurance or looking for sustainable weight management I believe that performance starts with a strong nutritional and lifestyle foundation.

We look beyond calories and macros to understand the bigger picture and how it may be affecting how you feel and perform.

My approach is warm, supportive and empowering, without restrictive diets or one-size-fits-all plans. Together, we look at where you are now, where you want to be and what your body needs to help you get there.

“My goal is not simply to help you train harder. It's to help you fuel your body, improve your energy, support recovery, build confidence and feel stronger from the inside out.”

What happens in a nutritional therapy consultation?

Every person is different, so my consultations are personalised around you, your health, nutrition, lifestyle, symptoms and goals.

  1. Before your consultation

    You'll complete a health and lifestyle questionnaire including your medical history and relevant blood results along with a 3-day food diary. This helps me understand your current health and nutrition before we meet.

  2. Initial consultation · 60–90 minutes

    We'll discuss your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition and goals and identify the key areas to focus on. Following your consultation, you'll receive a personalised nutrition plan with practical recommendations tailored to you.

  3. Follow-up · 30–45 minutes

    We'll review your progress, discuss what's working and make any adjustments needed to keep you moving forward.

Depending on your individual needs testing may explore hormones, gut health, thyroid function, nutrient status, metabolism, inflammation, energy, recovery, food sensitivities and genetics. This can be particularly helpful if you have ongoing symptoms and are struggling with weight management or aren't feeling or performing as well as you'd expect.

Tests may include hormone testing, comprehensive stool and gut testing, DNA and nutrigenomic testing, allergy and intolerance testing, thyroid panels and other targeted tests.
