Hi there! I'm Josie...

It's great to have you here, thanks for visiting.

I'm a certified food and eating psychology coach with a passion for helping women build a healthier and more positive relationship with food.

In a previous life I was burnt out, working crazy hours in a corporate job, trapped in the revolving doors of weight loss clubs. Often coming home at 8pm to an empty fridge, and heading for meltdown. 

I embarked on a transformative journey to become a certified eating psychology coach and nutrition coach, to heal my own relationship with food, and soon realised that I wanted to help the countless other women who were stuck in the same trap.

Around two-thirds of people on restrictive diets regain more weight than they lost within five years* and yet, the diet industry in the UK is worth around £2bn+ a year. Diet culture is aggressively targeted at women and so many of us suffer with low self-esteem and body image issues. The cycle needs to stop and that's where I come in.

I offer evidence-based guidance to women who are ready to change the way they relate to food and their bodies. My approach to nutrition goes beyond meal planning and recognises that your relationship with food is intricately linked to your experiences, thoughts and emotions.  

It’s my belief that your health and brain are your greatest asset. If you can place some focus on nourishing your cells with sound nutrition and kinder habits of thought, then very often weight loss comes naturally, in a far more enjoyable and safe way.

I love food and take great joy in sharing how eating for health can be enjoyable and delicious. My personal experience with diet culture gives me a unique perspective, and blend of knowledge and skills that make me an empathetic and motivational coach on your path to well-being.

I have a distinction in Eating Psychology Coaching. I studied applied nutrition for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome with Sano School of Culinary Medicine. I am ‘Applying Intuitive Eating and Non-Diet Approaches in Practice’ certified with London School of Intuitive Eating, and studied Food and Mood: Improving Mental Health Through Diet and Nutrition with Deakin University. I'm currently training for nutrition coach certification and am constantly furthering my education to support those who work with me.
