I’m Helen Maxwell, I trained at the prestigious Institute of Optimum Nutrition and am a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist (Dip ION, Distinction). I have been trained in the Functional Medicine Model to track symptoms back to their root cause, identifying any areas of imbalance in the systems of the body. 

I work with clients on all sorts of health issues including:
• Weight
• Energy
• Digestion/Gut function
• Immunity
• Hormones

I have always understood and been drawn to the importance of nutrition and the quality of the ingredients we eat. My children’s health issues resolved within days of changing their diet so, convinced, I signed up to take my foundational science course at Westminster University, followed by completing a three-year Nutrition Diploma at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition.

Following the birth of my second son, and major surgery, I had to learn to walk again and overcome significant pain and trauma. I am forever grateful to my doctor who advised me that the pain was no longer physically in my body, but created by my mind. This led to a keen interest in how we can make changes in the brain (neuroplasticity) and how this relates to changes in behaviour. I delved into meditation as a means to access the subconscious mind for motivation, pain control, altering brainwaves to counteract stress and stimulate neural integration.

I work closely with clients to support any changes they need to make, as breaking habits can be tough.
