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

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. I became very interested in nutrition and the whole 'you are what you eat' philosphy.  The more I learnt the more questions I had. Seeing the benefits in my own life as well as my family's gave me the conviction to take the foundational science course at Westminster University. I followed this with completing a three-year Nutrition Diploma at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London. 

I also carry out many hours of CPD and ongoing training to keep my skills and knowledge up to date. 

Following the birth of my second son, and major surgery, I had to learn to walk again and overcome significant pain and trauma. I delved into meditation and breathwork as a means to access the subconscious mind for motivation, pain control and altering brainwaves to counteract stress. This also led to my interest in breathwork and subsequent training as an Oxygen Advantage instructor. This means I can assess my clients breathing patterns and teach them to optimise their breathing from a functional perspective.
