Testimonials

When dealing with a specific health challenge I have spent many many hours researching the claims that various supplements and diets offer and I was delighted that my journey lead me to Patricia. I have been looking for someone who offered more than diet advice and who has a real understanding of the science of nutrition and how it relates to each individual. As client of Patricia’s it is very evident that she has a passion for her work, and a wealth of knowledge, backed up by her own research. Patricia brings clarity to an often confusing world of nutritional information and misinformation. I highly recommend Patricia to everyone including my own clients, where I see mental and emotional and anxiety issues resolved much faster when nutritional imbalances are addressed.

Not only is cooking good for you; it’s also a powerful way to drive change in our food system. You get to pick what you buy and where the food comes from, which influences the marketplace to produce better food.
