Testimonials

Carmen is a great nutritionist. She has a sincere want to help and the knowledge to know how.

Her approach is sensitive and adaptable, meaning the package you receive is tailored to your needs and lifestyle, with goals you’re guided towards rather than expected to perform. This honesty creates such a safe space for you to delve into your relationship with food with ease.

Carmen is accepting of good and bad days between your consultations and so in follow up appointments I found it easy to admit the days where I struggled with the plan and have asked for help and guidance to adapt the plan that we set in order to find the balance I needed (for example I have a big sweet tooth and found that I needed to cater for this in order to succeed.)

I have found that in a couple of months of working with Carmen, my main grievance (IBS) has become something I haven’t had in weeks! If you have ever had trouble with IBS, you can understand how freeing and life changing that is!

I would recommend carmen to anyone who needs some help in this area and I can honestly say her consultations have changed my relationship with food for the better.

I'd never really been good with my diet, and often found myself feeling upset around mealtimes. From the lack of understanding in what I should be eating, to the frustration in poor variety - all while handling an extensive list of intolerances - I've struggled a lot to find enjoyment in preparing and eating food.

Carmen has been so incredibly kind and generous with her time to help completely turn around my approach towards this. I've helped make clever changes, not just with my eating habits, but my attitude with myself too.

I've always felt in safe hands telling her about my goals - and even complicated issues that I might feel uncomfortable explaining to others. Her vast knowledge and abundant patience has made it easy to deal with all my related (and completely silly/unrelated) questions, and her infectious positivity leaves me feeling much better about the world. I always look forward to chatting with her

Before finding Nutrition with Carmen, I had been suffering from excess bloating, heartburn, low energy, low moods and a really unstable weight.

She made the process really easy. After filling out some questionnaires, we had a meeting via Zoom where Carmen went through the information I had provided and I felt comfortable talking about some of the issues I was having. Carmen was really understanding and professional throughout the whole process. 

The option to have the meeting via Zoom was so useful as I'm not local.

When I received the plan, we had another meeting to discuss it. I was absolutely blown away by how unique and tailored to me and my needs it was. It was so informative, aesthetically pleasing and had so many lovely recipes in it as well as a shopping list and other amazing tools. I think her plans are so special because they make food fun. It didn't feel like a chore, it was just eating tasty foods that are good for my body and mind. 

During the first few months of the plan, I managed to completely stop my bloating and heartburn, I wasn't suffering from low energy, my moods stabilized and I managed to stabilise my weight.

Not to mention trying out new recipes! As a relatively new vegetarian, it really opened me up to making my meals tasty and enjoyable. It's really flexible, with great alternatives to my usual snacks and as a chocoholic, some amazing nutritious chocolate based baking to satisfy my sweet tooth. 

Now I'm back again, working with Carmen on my second plan and introducing more exercise, mindfulness and even more delicious recipes.I think that's the key thing. With Carmen, you don't just get a basic meal plan, you get the tools to enable you to make positive changes for life with someone to support you through the process.

Thank you, Carmen, for improving my lifestyle and diet and helping me to love nourishing by body and mind. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my kickstart programme with Carmen. I found her very knowledgeable, understanding and supportive. I have learnt so much about different foods and what the body needs to live well. I would highly recommend this programme.
