UK registered nutritionist working with women who've lost their period, primarily due to functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea.
You’re in the right place if:
You've lost your period and you want to understand why, not just be told to wait.
You want it back, and you want to know it's going to stay back.
You want to rebuild trust in a body that's felt unreliable, for a long time.
You want to start a family, get back to the things you love most or simply feel like yourself again.
You want a real relationship with food at the end of this, not a set of rules.
You may have a history of disordered eating, or years of quiet under-fuelling you've only just started to recognise. Either way, you're taken seriously here, and you're never reduced to that history.
A note on scope of practice: I don't provide the intensive, specialist-level treatment needed for acute or severe eating disorders. Where that's what someone needs, I help them find the right specialist support. You can read more about who I work with here.
Client Experiences
Your period has been gone for months, maybe years.
But it's also the exhaustion that doesn't lift, however much you rest. The broken sleep. The libido that's quietly disappeared. The low hum of anxiety beneath it all, which may come with bigger fears.
What this is doing to your bones. Whether the family you want is still possible. What this all means for the future you, ten years from now.
You may have a diagnosis, but no real answers, and no plan.
If this is you, how you feel is real, it matters, and you're in the right place
Your body isn't broken. It's protecting you.
Functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea isn't your body malfunctioning. It's your brain sensing that something in your body's balance has shifted. Often long before you did.
Rarely one cause and almost always a layered, deeply personal picture.
There may be a lot of fear wrapped around all of this, including a deeper fear of what recovery means for your body and your life. It’s okay, if you feel this.
Some of what led you here was beyond your control. What happens next is firmly within it.
I'm a Registered Associate Nutritionist (MSc, ANutr) and Registered Nutritional Therapist (PGDip, mBANT, CNHC), and I've spent over 6 years working with hundreds of women (across the UK and internationally) in exactly this place.
I'm also a specialist who has been the patient. I lost my own period to FHA in my twenties, and I know what it is to sit on the other side of the desk. To feel a little lost in your own body. That's why I do this work, and it's why the care here is real.
