Hi, I’m Natalya
I’m a UK-based Registered Functional Nutritionist and Naturopath who takes a root-cause approach to helping you uncover the why behind your symptoms.
Together, we’ll use functional medicine principles, personalised nutrition and targeted testing to map out what your body needs to move forward.
About Me
In my spare time, you’ll find me browsing farm shops, getting out in nature, hiking, travelling, eating out or hosting dinner parties.
I’m also a nutrition geek at heart and spend a lot of time diving into the latest research and following industry news, because this is my passion.
We’re still learning so much about the gut microbiome, the impact of our environment and how these shape our hormones, immune system, and overall resilience. I’m here to distil all of this, so that you get the benefits.
How I Became a Practitioner
My own health struggles with chronic gut issues, eczema and painful periods took me on a journey that I’m sure feels familiar.
I experienced daily bloating, cramping and skin flares, which affected my self-confidence, along with unpredictable bowel habits. It felt like I was reacting to everything and I no longer knew what to eat.
Every month, I took sick days at the start of my menstrual cycle, due to the pain and nausea. When testing hormones, I learned that my liver was struggling to detoxify the high levels of estrogen and my progesterone levels were almost nonexistent.
The daily brain fog from my gut dysbiosis and fungal overgrowth made it difficult to think, affected my moods and led to intense sugar cravings. Ultimately, I felt irritable, burnt out and exhausted.
Yet deep down, I knew I wasn’t meant to feel this way and that a vibrant, symptom-free life was possible.That became the catalyst for everything that I do today. I immersed myself in studying nutrition and functional medicine.
Whilst completing a three-year Naturopathic Nutrition Diploma, my health took another hit after a significant exposure to mould.
This sparked an interest in environmental toxins and the impact of detoxification on our gut health, skin and hormones.
I spent the next two years immersed in additional certifications, training courses and mentorships. What I discovered transformed both my own health AND the approach I now take to working with clients. I can’t wait to share all of this with you.
