About Parveen
Together, we can achieve amazing things.
I am a fully qualified nutritionist with a passion for wanting to help you to enjoy food and enjoy life.
I worked in corporate life for over 20 years within the financial services sector. I travelled a lot, ate terribly and all at the wrong times and always felt that I had no control or understanding about food and how it impacted on my health. Because I exercised regularly I thought I had the right balance!
When my daughter was born, I knew it was time to change for myself and her. I visited a nutritionist and quickly realised that it is so true that what we eat defines what we are. Exercise will help but it is all about what we eat that makes the real difference. I quickly decided that this was the vocation that I wanted and signed up for a three-year course to become a qualified nutritionist.
Finding the right balance.
I do not believe that you should give up everything that you enjoy but to focus and understand what your body needs, will help you have a more balanced life.
We are all different and what foods work for some may be not work for others. By utilising the knowledge, I have learned, and the tools available I want to work with people one-to-one to help them understand themselves, what foods provide positivity to their body and what foods work against their body.
I’ve been on many faddy diets in my life, haven’t we all? Faddy diets or restricting foods will never work long term. My naturopathic approach is all about looking at the individual and addressing the root causes of the issue and then looking at changes to diet and lifestyle.

What Is a Nutritionist & Nutritional Therapy?
“We take a holistic approach, creating personalised plans for each individual”
There are many ways to explain what nutritional therapy is. In its simplistic form it is a mixture of nutritional and functional science applied in a personal way across both diet and lifestyle with the aim of enhancing a person’s health and wellbeing.
At the core of what it is trying to achieve is to help people understand how and why an illness occurs, help people regain health and wellbeing by focusing on the root cause of the disease. As a practitioner we take a holistic approach and create personalised plans as all causes and outcomes will be very different for each individual.
Nutritional therapy and nutritionists treat everyone as an individual and ensures that each person gets a personalised approach to their health.
