Hi, I'm Hattie!
I’m a Nutritionist, Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Advanced Reiki Practitioner who is passionate about helping people to improve their relationship with food and body image, leaving the dieting behind once and for all.
Having a healthy diet isn’t just about getting in your five a day, it’s about how food makes you feel. We all come from different backgrounds and have different lifestyles, which means there is no one size fits all when it comes to deciding what to eat. If food causes any kind of distress (which is very common in today’s society of diet culture), then it is not a healthy diet.
I enjoy working with my clients to help them explore their relationship with food and use tools such as Intuitive Eating to help them ditch dieting and feel good about themselves! To find out more about how I work, click below to find out more about my mission!
Do any of these resonate with you?
“I try to avoid certain foods high in fat/carbs.”
“I find myself eating when stressed out.”
“I don’t feel comfortable in my body.”
“I feel the need to keep count of calories.”
“I struggle with binge-eating.”
“I beat myself up for over-eating.”
“I have forbidden foods which I don’t allow myself to eat.”
“I don’t trust my body cues.”
“I’ve been yo-yo dieting for many years and I’m tired of it.”
“I’ve heard about Intuitive Eating but I don’t know where to start.”
These are all common thoughts and feelings that can happen after years of on and off dieting. Dieting can commonly lead to never-ending binge-restrict cycles, disordered eating, body image struggles, and be a gateway to eating disorders. You can read more about the harm of dieting here. It may feel impossible right now that you could ever have a happy relationship with food and allow yourself to have a diet which truly includes all foods, with zero restriction. Non-diet approaches such as Intuitive Eating are designed to help you tune back in with your natural hunger signals and break the diet cycle. Intuitive Eating is one of the tools which Hattie uses alongside her scientific nutrition background and nutritional counselling skills, to help her clients achieve food freedom and happiness within their lives. Are you ready to find your food freedom and ditch dieting for good?
What is Intuitive Eating?
Intuitive Eating is a learning process, which involves tuning back into the body’s natural appetite signals, alongside unlearning potentially unhealthy restrictive eating patterns that have been picked up through dieting. It involves resetting so that you can eat to feel good without any food guilt, enjoy moving your body because it feels good, and tools to help cope with emotional eating. It is a scientifically backed approach, with evidence showing intuitive eating to be associated with greater body appreciation and satisfaction, greater life satisfaction and greater motivation to exercise.

Client Testimonials
“Working with Hattie was really enjoyable and ultimately the kind of dialogue I was hoping for. Hattie was easy to talk to and thoughtful in her response at all times. I was often surprised at how ‘seen’ I felt during our sessions and how she could be so astute in her observations. Hattie made me feel comfortable and able to explore our conversations. She gently responded to my questioning with consideration and thoughtfulness without shying away from what could be challenging moments of self reflection for me.” Emily
“Fantastic – Hattie is warm, supportive, empathetic and knowledgeable. I found our sessions very helpful.I had specific issues I wanted help with, which Hattie helped me work though in a supported way. A few other issues cropped up in our time together and she readily offered advice and support to help with those as well.” Gina
“Working with Hattie was a joy. She is open and intuitive but direct with her approach. I had 4/5 sessions with her but there was a lot of support around the sessions as well. She opened my mind to new ways of looking at diet culture, my relationship to food and my body image and was kind in her style. She worked with what I needed at the time and directed our sessions on the topics we discussed in and outside of our sessions which felt great knowing she was truly listening to what I was saying and didn’t just have her own agenda. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and it comes from a place of personal experience as well as scientific knowledge. I can honestly say I’m not the same person I was when I first started with her.” Hayley.
