NUTRITIONAL THERAPY: Hi Tina, I wanted to email you as my doctor has just confirmed I am ovulating which is brilliant news and I am over the moon!
I want to thank you for introducing me to this new diet/way of living and teaching me how important it is to give your body what it needs. I have never had a healthy relationship with food but I can now finally say I feel better than ever and I finally have a balanced lifestyle; giving my body what it needs and not restricting myself from treats when I crave them. I have learnt I am allowed treats every once in a while in moderation which is a massive turning point for me as I used to deprive myself so much.
You have also taught me to listen to my body when it comes to exercise and I no longer push myself to work out if I’m not feeling up to it etc. Thank you so much for all your help! [woman, anon] (this is 6 months after one appointment, June 2020)

NUTRITION AND ADDICTION WORKSHOP
"I contacted Martina and Tina to organise a bespoke workshop on Nutrition and Addiction, supporting Recovery from Substance Related Disorders with Nutritional Interventions for Wandsworth and Richmond Council Substance Misuse services. The attendees were a mixture of service providers, recovery workers, nurses, GPs and service users. Martina and Tina are fantastic facilitators, collating 20+ years of their experience in Nutrition for this workshop, their knowledge and experience was exactly what our local services needed. The workshop was absolutely brilliant, they really broke it all down in simple terms from physiology to the evidence, the food demonstrations were brilliant and all attendees felt this was an important part of the workshop to consolidate all the learning into practice.
Tina provided an amazing lunch, it was so colourful, nurturing, hearty and absolutely delicious. Not one person felt sleepy after lunch too, testament to the nutrient dense food we had in the London heatwave. We all left feeling nourished, inspired and full of ideas to further support the clients that engage with our services. I wholeheartedly recommended any service providers/ commissioners to get in touch with them to organise a bespoke workshop for their services. I am excited about how our local services will develop."

Nutritional Therapy:
"I thought I was really knowledgeable about nutrition and I have a very good diet, and Tina blew me away with the value she gave me in her 2 hour session. I have 7 changes to my diet that I am really looking forward to putting into practice and all sorts of tips and ideas that will help me navigate the ageing process that the menopause brings me. Tina is a goldmine of information that is really accessible." Nicola Price, Founder of Inspirational Breathing
"A friend of mine advised me to contact Tina after I was diagnosed with ME. I had been completely lacking in energy and unable to work for six months when I first saw her. Instead of the expensive behavioural therapy courses I had been recommended, she set me on a path of recovery by looking at my diet, my lifestyle and the demands and pressures on me. Ever interested and doggedly persistent in helping me to work through the illness, Tina has made a huge difference to my health and well-being. I am so grateful." SE, 53

Food Works Course
"I found the course to be a revelation – myth busting on so many levels!! I am totally rethinking and reworking my approach to food, for the better. I have loved the programme – and I think it has the power to really change my eating/life! Tina is patient, very well informed and so generous with us all – in terms of the content, her passion and the time and energy she puts in – she always goes beyond the line. Frankly, Tina and the course have been inspirational and life changing. Thank you." ED, Lewes
"Great Course - everyone should do it! Not just for people with problems/symtpoms." PM Lewes
"After being thoroughly confused by the ongoing publicity about healthy and unhealthy eating Tina has given me the confidence to eat happily and healthily. I feel great. Thank you Tina." RA Lewes
A VERY informative course. I had no idea that nutrition could have such an impact on body and mind. Try it! MP Lewes
"Improve your diet - Improve your life!" RB, Horsham
"This course delivered simple, basic messages, backed up by well explained science. The course has the potential to be life changing - it's now down to me! Thanks Tina" SM, Lewes
"With so much information being given on 'healthy' eating, it was refreshing to have simple rules and an easy to follow system of eating that suits the whole family." DS, Lewes
"Such a good course. Value for money. It really changes how you eat, and why. Thank you Tina." ME, Lewes

Comments from Love your Gut course:
“I really enjoyed the course and feel I have better understanding of just how easily my digestive system can be disrupted by neglecting the tell tale signs that it gives me through my general health and mood. I was able to see how a little careful planning can help provide me more energy and stamina throughout the day and I have started to put your ideas into practice and know that I am reaping the benefits of a more balance diet now.
I felt the combination of information and discussion was just right and I enjoyed the camaraderie that the homework tasks gave us! These brought a fun element into what is essentially a serious topic of course. Yet the fun taught us so much too, it was a great way to learn.
I really appreciated your wealth of knowledge and also the efforts you went to to give us ideas to suit our personal needs. The whole experience was not just interesting and beneficial but also a pleasure, thank you very much Tina.” LH

Comments from Weight Loss Group:
Had a great week thanks, and food regime of no refined carbs, more veg and proper fats is really working for me. Lost 4lbs in total which doesn’t sound much but for me the establishment of a new routine has been an absolute revelation and I am really excited. I don’t feel hard done by at all. I look forward to the notes and thank you for the ones last week. Even though I haven’t made the last two classes your approach has worked!!! Thank you and see you tomorrow, J.

“It is the best way to look at healthy eating style.” (E)
“I feel really positive about the changes I’ve made to the way I eat and the benefits and feel like this is a change for life, not a diet!” (C)
