Mid-Life Health Optimisation Support

Personalised Mid-Life Nutrition & Wellness Coaching

Does this sound like you? 

You’re noticing shifts in energy, digestion, sleep or mood that do’t feel like ‘just ageing’.

Maybe you have some pretty good ideas about what foods your body likes and doesn’t like, but now you’re starting to doubt yourself and you don’t know whether the solutions you have come up with before are still working for you.

Maybe you’ve tried all the things, including restrictive diets and calorie counting and nothing has worked.

You really want some advice from an expert. There is so much advice out there and you have no idea what could work.

If you know you’re capable of feeling more energised, balanced and in tune with your body, let’s help you make that your everyday reality.

With a natural and personalised approach to addressing your symptoms, you can feel happy, healthy, and energised.

Our bodies are complex, and the symptoms we experience often have several different layers behind them. Trying to tackle each issue in isolation rarely works because the body thrives on balance and connection.

I take the time to understand you as a whole person, looking at the bigger picture of your health, lifestyle and history. Together we work to address both the symptoms you’re experiencing and the underlying factors that may be contributing to them, creating positive changes that are realistic and sustainable.

One thing I’ve learned through years of practice is how important it is to feel heard. Many people arrive feeling frustrated or dismissed, having been told that what they’re experiencing is simply part of getting older or something they should just push through.

You deserve better than that. 

If the solution were simple, you would likely have found it already. Most of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have tried many things before coming to see me.

My role is to listen carefully to your journey, understand what you’ve already explored, and help you make sense of it all. From there we can create a clear, practical plan that works for you and fits into your life.

The goal is to help you feel more like yourself again, with the energy, resilience and confidence to enjoy this stage of life and the years ahead.

There are many reasons I would recommend Wendy, but the main one is she really knows her stuff and knows what she is talking about. There are lots of people out there who call themselves nutritionists but have only got a very basic qualification. Wendy has trained to an extremely high level, she is very knowledgeable and passionate about nutrition, she will find the solution that is right for you and not just an off the shelf ‘just take this’ option.

I was struggling with the menopause, tiredness, mood swings and weight. Working with Wendy has helped me in all these areas and more, and I have tools and advice that has helped me understand what my body needs. I found the genetic testing useful, insightful and interesting and Wendy was able to interrupt the results in a way that made sense to me. It gave me the confidence to know I was eating in a way that was suitable for my personal needs and not just following a fad trend diet.

She is warm, friendly, and approachable, she understands that you have a life where you might want to drink alcohol or eat foods that wouldn’t necessarily be classed as healthy. Basically, she lives in the real world, and therefore won’t judge you for living there too. What she will do though, is help you to understand how to live life and eat healthily for life and not be on a permanent diet.

Elite Signature Package

 What’s included in the Signature package

 Intake Form

I will ask you to complete a comprehensive intake form prior to your initial consultation. This form provides space for you to share your goals, current health situation, and history.

Before our initial consultation, I will review this document to prepare for our meeting. By taking the time to gather and review this information, I can understand the factors contributing to your current health situation and ensure I provide the best possible support to help you achieve your goals.

Initial Consultation Call

Here is where we take a deep dive into your health and understand what your aims and goals are. I am able to truly listen to your story, your wisdom about the connections you have identified and the triumphs and defeats in your journey so far. You can stop being worried or scared in your body. You will have a guide on your journey to better health and wellbeing, you don’t have to do it by yourself any more.

This consultation is up to 75 minutes.

Your Personal Protocol

One week after the initial consultation, you will receive your comprehensive protocol that includes advice on food, lifestyle supplements and possible functional test*. Along with 15-minute call to ensure that you understand every area of that protocol. It’s your opportunity to ask any questions you have, I want you to feel confident and in control.

Follow Up Calls

Our follow-up calls are an opportunity to review your progress in detail. We’ll assess every aspect of your protocol and supplements, asking key questions to identify what’s working well and what needs adjustment. This helps us understand what is moving you closer to your goals. During these calls, we refine your plan to ensure you continue making progress. Within a week of your follow-up consultation, you’ll receive an updated protocol tailored to your needs. This consultation is up to 45 minutes.

Check in support

Check in with me via a quick to complete form that you share with me via the secure portal. I know you’re busy so this is quick and simple and won’t impact on your time. This is to ensure we are still connected and help you keep on track.

Online Support

If at any time you feel you need a little bit help, maybe you have a question, perhaps you a having a wobble, maybe there’s an event going on, or something’s happening in your life. Simply pop a message via the online portal and I will come back to you during working hours.

Personalised Recipe Pack

During our consultations we may find that specific nutrients can help you acheive your goals. Perhaps we will be excluding certain foods to support your improved health. Or maybe you just need a bit of inspiration in the kitchen.

I will create a personalised recipe pack filled with foods that you enjoy to help you nourish your body well and support you journey to optimal health and wellbeing.

Why should you work with me?

Having spent many years as a busy professional myself, juggling long days and plenty of responsibility, I understand how difficult it can be to prioritise your own health alongside everything else in your life.

By the time many people reach out for support they are already tired. The idea of taking on complicated food plans or elaborate health routines can feel overwhelming, like another item added to an already full to-do list.

That’s why my approach is practical and realistic.

I’m not here to hand you a long list of rules and send you away hoping you’ll somehow make them work. I know that if a plan doesn’t fit your life, it simply won’t last.

Instead, I work with you to create personalised advice and support that is achievable, effective and aligned with your real life, your values and your schedule.

The aim is simple: small, meaningful changes that move the needle for your health and help you feel better, without turning your life upside down.

What they say?

Unfortunately, I caught Covid and was left with both Long Covid and Chronic Fatigue. The doctors weren’t really able to offer much help, so I decided to look at other avenues.

Wendy came highly recommended by a friend, and working with Wendy has been the best thing I ever did.

With her help and guidance I was able to take control of my illness and get back to working full time. I learnt a lot about nutrition and the importance of having the right life balance. Also, the introduction to slow cooker food was a real game changer.

My main takeaway from my time with Wendy is that I now appreciate just how much it matters what you actually feed your body, and what a difference it can make to both your mental and physical health. I’ve even converted the rest of the family to the joys of healthy eating.

 

Becky Edwards, Signature Package 

I wasn’t sure if my symptoms were perimenopause or not, it looks like a lot of the hormone issues are caused by stress and we’ve been able to reduce them so much. Now I know that when perimenopause kicks in I will be in a good position to meet it.

She’s so knowledgeable. I’ve been quite focussed on nutrition all of my life, but Wendy works with me and steers me in the right direction if I’m going down the wrong route, and comes up with all sorts of things I haven’t thought of.

Lorraine, Signature Package 

Some of your questions answered 

What qualifications do you have?

I studied for 3 years at The College of Naturopathic Nutrition to gain my NT diploma. To ensure my British Association of Nutritional Therapist membership I have to complete 35 hours of CPD each year. 

Since qualifying I have also trained as a Nutrition Coach and a Nutrigenomics Practitioner. 

I’ve got a lot of symptoms. Will you be able to solve them all?

On your initial intake form I ask you to  highlight the two main symptoms that you want to work on. Invariably I find that as we work on these some of the others will be addressed.

However as we progress we can, of course, shift our focus if needed. You are always in control and this will be a collaborative process.

What results can I expect?

The more committed you are to the suggested changes the quicker you can expect results. However, this is not always a linear process, and sometimes we need to adjust and tweak as other hints come to light.

Will I need to spend a fortune on supplements?

My protocols are always lifestyle and diet focused. I use specific supplements to support improvement in symptoms to help you achieve your goals. I will always aim to work with any budget you have and ultimately we want you to be the healthiest version of yourself with the minimal level of support.

What kind of test will I need?

Testing can help us understand the route cause of symptoms and save a lot of time ruling out different scenarios. There are a range of different test’s available and you can read more about different ones I use here. Read more

I’m busy and I'm not sure I have time for this?

Let’s be honest you don’t have time to be ill either.

You’re ready to invest in your health because you know you need it, and I respect you are trusting me with that task. 

We will always work at a pace that works for you. I am a busy working woman too, I know how precious time is, and I am extremely experienced in finding solutions that require minimal effort for maximum results.

But don’t be complacent – we all know that nothing comes without a bit of work.

I'm not a woman in menopause can you help me?
Whilst my specialty is mid-life I am able to support you at any stage of your life journey.
Why not book an introductory call and I can answer any questions you might have so we can ensure we are a good fit.
What happens once I make my payment?

Once your initial payment is made (whether it’s in full or 1 in 3) you will be sent a link to register on my client portal and book your initial consultation.

You will be sent all the relevant forms to complete which need to be done at last 48 hours prior to the first consultation.

Your follow-ups will be added at the appropriate intervals on the same time/day of the week where possible.

Can I change my appointment?

Life happens and we all need to make changes to consultation dates from time to time. However, as packages are for a specified time period it is important to make those changes as early as possible to help you get the most from our time together.

Are the consultations available in person or online?
I have a clinic in Lichfield and I would encourage everyone to try to visit for their initial consultation appointment. However I am happy to do any or all of your consultations by zoom if you prefer.
How can I contact you?
My client platform, Practice Better, allows you to send me messages between consultations. I will respond as quickly as possible during working hours, and always within one working day.
Am I going to have to make separate meals for myself and my family?
I think one of my superpowers is being able to find solutions that will make life easier not harder.

I will help you create meals that work for your needs as well as finding ways to easily adapt them to suit the rest of your family. And rest assured, I’m not going to expect you to spend hours shopping for or cooking obscure ingredients.

Will I be expected to change everything in one go?
The best part about booking a signature package with me is that we tailor the pace to suit your lifestyle. You’ll need to make some changes, but they will only be effective if you can integrate them into your daily routine. I’ll always work with you at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable.
What is different about working with you?

Each Nutritional Therapist will work in a slightly different way. My approach is to support you to make necessary adjustments to your diet and lifestyle that will support you in achieving your goals. I want you to understand why you are making these changes. My ultimate goal is for you to be the strongest version of yourself so that you can deal with anything life may throw at you.

It is a close relationship and so you need to know if I am the right fit for you, so please use the link to book a call so we can have a chat 

Can I just book individual sessions?
I work with clients through structured packages rather than one-off sessions, as this allows us to properly understand your health and create meaningful change.

At the end of your package, if we feel you need additional support, extra consultations can be booked at £160 per session.
If you are a previous client, you are also welcome to book individual check-in consultations.
