I run my own business, Blackberry Nutrition Limited. As well as seeing private clients at my clinic, I also advise businesses on employee health and stress management, and am a popular lecturer on food and health to a wide range of other audiences, including schools, local societies and specialist groups for particular health conditions. But I have not always worked in nutrition! Before entering the field of nutrition, I worked in senior management in both the public and private sector, including the computer industry and engineering, for over 20 years. This has given me a very good grounding in how the corporate world works, and a good understanding of the stresses and strains that can be involved, as well as the human resource implications of ill health and less than optimum performance. My professional organisation is the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy, and I am a Nutritional Therapy Council Registered Practitioner.
