A MESSAGE FROM LIVIA
A New Approach to Women’s Health — One That Finally Sees the Full You
I work with ambitious, caring, big-hearted women — professionals, entrepreneurs, mothers — who are tired of being dismissed, rushed, or told everything is “normal” when their body is sending clear signals that something is out of balance.
Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, navigating hormonal challenges, growing a baby, healing after birth, or juggling motherhood and work…
you deserve more than generic advice and quick fixes.
My approach blends:
Nutritional therapy
Mineral balancing (HTMA + functional testing)
Traditional Chinese Medicine principles
Practical lifestyle shifts for busy women
So you can feel steady, nourished, and fully yourself again — in your body, your energy, and your mind.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Let’s rebuild your vitality in a way that feels calm, structured and deeply supportive.

Hi, I’m Livia
Your Women’s Nutrition & Hormonal Health Specialist - London, UK
I help high-achieving women rebuild their energy, balance their hormones, and feel grounded in every chapter of womanhood.
After burning out during my corporate and pharmaceutical career, I retrained as a Nutritional Therapist (DipNT), combining naturopathic nutrition, mineral testing, and East-Asian postpartum wisdom to create deeply supportive, personalised programmes for women.
I work with women both in-person (Hackney) and online.
If You’re Feeling Depleted, Overwhelmed, or Unsure Where to Begin — Let’s Talk
Your health is personal. Your journey is unique.
And your body deserves the right support at the right time.
If you’d like clarity on which programme is best for you — or simply want to feel understood by someone who gets it — book a free call and we’ll explore things together.

Hipprocrates stated ‘Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food’.
Nutritional Therapy is the process of utilising ‘food as medicine’. It takes a therapeutic approach to harness the power of nutrition to address imbalances and disharmony in the body to allow it to naturally heal. A nutritional therapy plan is tailored to your individual needs and unique circumstances.

My Approach
Naturopathic nutritional therapy views the body as a whole, interconnected system. When one part of the body is not functioning properly, it can impact the entire system, creating ripple effects throughout your health and wellbeing.
Using a food-first approach, I treat you as a unique whole individual, taking into consideration all aspects of your health—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—alongside your body systems and lifestyle. I believe that dis-ease manifests when any of these four states of health fall out of balance.
My Foundation: HTMA Testing
At the core of my practice, I use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as my foundational assessment tool to evaluate body function and mineral balance because minerals are the spark plugs to life. This comprehensive test provides invaluable insights into your metabolic patterns, mineral status, and toxic metal burden. Based on these findings, I may recommend additional functional tests as needed to create a complete picture of your unique health profile.
Holistic Nutrition Philosophy
My approach blends naturopathic principles with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dietary therapy, as I believe deeply in the energetics of food and treating the whole person. This integration allows me to consider not just the nutritional content of foods, but also their energetic properties and how they interact with your individual constitution.
Personalised Care
By addressing the root cause of your symptoms, we set in motion a comprehensive naturopathic nutrition plan that includes personalised diet and lifestyle recommendations to support your healing journey. My nutrition plans honor your body's innate ability to heal while respecting your unique circumstances, food preferences, dietary requirements, time constraints, and budget.
Depending on your specific needs and health goals, I will recommend targeted lifestyle changes to help you make active, positive transformations. Given the right environment and support, your body naturally moves towards healing and harmony.
Through this combination of functional testing, energetic nutrition principles, and individualised care, we work together to restore balance and optimise your health and wellbeing.

We start with a free 20 minute session to understand your health situation, symptoms of concern ans health goals to determine we are a right fit for working together.
Should we progress to an initial consultation, this involves a comprehensive case taking of your family and medical history, body system symptoms, diet and lifestyle. I will then share initial thoughts with you and you can ask any questions. A written plan will be sent to you within 3-5 business days.
Follow-up consults will be scheduled 2-4 weeks after our initial. We will address your progress, successes and challenges and review any testing results together. Adjustments to your plan will then be made as needed.
Consultations are held online via Zoom to clients in the UK and abroad. In-person consultations can be offered in central London. -
The outcome of us working together involves developing new habits, new mindsets and new lifestyle choices.
You’ll have a better understanding of;
your body systems and how they are interconnected
the cause and triggers for your health symptoms
the types of foods that will improve your health symptoms as well as those you may want to avoid
lifestyle choices to help improve your symptoms and overall wellbeing
-
Most likely you have been suffering with long-term debilitating and disruptive health symptoms. My purpose is to guide you from a place of feeling lost, dismissed and unheard by your GP and others around you to the place you envision as your optimal health and wellbeing.

Root cause approach
Eliminating foods permanently because they trigger symptoms only addresses the symptoms and not the underlying cause. Nutritional therapy addresses the underlying mechanisms and drivers of your symptoms and health condition instead of only suppressing or masking your ongoing painful symptoms.
A tailored approach
To improve your on-going health symptom or condition, you may have tried following other’s advice and recommendations on nutrition because it worked for them. However, there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach when it comes your health, because each person is different. A diet or supplement that worked for someone, may not be suitable or safe for you.
Working with a Nutritional Therapist like myself avoids the headache of figuring out what’s suitable and safe for you. You’ll recieve a plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle. I take into consideration your circumstances, diet requirements, preferences, budget and time constraints.
A sense of clarity
Most probably you have spent time researching about nutrition advice to improve your ongoing symptoms or health condition. But with so much contrasting and conflicting information available its hard to decipher how or where to begin.
Working with me as your expertise Nutritional Therapist in digestive/gut health and female hormones who knows the terrain, I have the tools you need to guide you to achieve your health goals.
Empowerment and support
My role is to empower you to take control and advocate for your health and wellbeing. I do this by educating you on what you need to know about your health symptoms or condition. With the right knowledge, guidance and support, we all have the innate ability to be facilitate our own healing. You get dedicated time through our 1 to 1 consultations to discuss your symptoms, progress and challenges and be heard and acknowledged.
Accountability
Some people find it difficult to set goals and reach them without a problem. I get it, when dealing with painful chronic health conditions and symptoms, it can be a huge challenge to stay on track. Working with me will provide accountability to help you take action to progress along your healing journey.
