THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Lancashire.
Real food has never been a trend for me.
I'm Jill, a farmer's daughter, a mother, and a qualified nutrition and lifestyle coach living in rural Lancashire.
I believe most people already know, somewhere, what their body needs, they just need someone to sit with them, ask the right questions, and help them hear it. That's what I do. But before I tell you how I work, let me tell you how I got here.
01
Where I come from
I'm Jill. I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Lancashire, a farmer's daughter, out in nature, learning where food actually comes from long before anyone was talking about 'whole foods' as a concept.
​
I saw first-hand how much dedication goes into producing good, honest food. And I came to understand, without anyone having to teach me, that what we put into our bodies matters, not because of calories or trends, but because real, fresh, natural food simply makes you feel different. I never forgot that.
02
Why I retrained
Everything shifted when my daughter was diagnosed with two chronic health conditions. I began reading, researching, learning, and I discovered just how crucial food and lifestyle were in managing her symptoms. Nutrition became something powerful and practical, a genuine tool for change, not a set of rules on a page.
​
That journey changed our lives. And it's what led me to retrain, to become the qualified nutrition and lifestyle coach I am today, so I could help other people make informed, sustainable choices that support their long-term health. I love showing people how a few simple changes can quietly transform how they feel.
03
How I work
I'm a qualified health coach with a diploma in nutrition and lifestyle coaching, and I'm a UKIHCA Registered Health Coach. That 'Registered' matters, it's the top level of UKIHCA membership, not simply being a member. It means I log my continuing professional development hours, log my coaching sessions, and complete four supervision sessions every year, so my practice is always held to account and always growing. But the part of my work I'm most proud of is that I'm a listener first. I sit with someone and actually hear what they're saying, not just about food, but about everything food is connected to.
​
I work slowly and personally. I don't offer quick fixes, because quick fixes don't last. I offer real plans for real lives, simple to understand, easy to follow, well supported. And I'll be with you every step of the way, offering the motivation and support you need to succeed. I work within my scope of practice, I don't diagnose through testing or treat specific health conditions.
04
When I'm not working
I'm a country person, so you'll find me out in nature, walking, visiting new places, pottering. I love to travel, too, and I've recently restarted learning Italian, I was fluent thirty years ago, and it's a quiet joy to find it coming back. Having my family and friends around our table for a Sunday roast is one of my favourite things to do, along with anything colourful and creative.
ALWAYS LEARNING
A library I lend to my clients.
Wellness and health are always moving on, we're always learning more, and I love to keep learning alongside that. This is my library, a shelf of books on nutrition, gut health, coaching and the science of feeling well. I lend them to clients between our sessions, so the curiosity, and the reading, can keep going.
