Meet Bean

Registered Nutritional Therapist, DipION, mBANT, CNHC, IFMCP-UK

Hello, I’m Bean

I’m a 44-year old mother of two, living in Bruton in Somerset with my family, dog and cat, and I help women (and couples), just like you, to improve your general health and wellbeing or optimise their chances of a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, because I believe you are more than capable, and deserve, to live a full and vibrant life.

I love helping women find out about their bodies, and enabling them to understand the various shifts in mood, energy, needs and desires, how it all relates to their diet and lifestyle. My goal is for you to feel in control and able to navigate your body, and fertility, with more confidence.

I am a qualified and registered Nutritional Therapist with a diploma from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) in London. My practice uses the Functional Medicine approach, which is an entirely evidence-based, personalised and holistic approach that understands that no bodily system works independently of another.

I continue to remain abreast of the latest science and developments with regular CPD, mentoring and supervision.

Additionally, I know the value of understanding the psychological, emotional and spiritual patterns and imprints that influence how our health manifests. So to be able to guide my clients and provide this deeper level of transformation to more authenticity, alignment and sense of freedom and potential, I am currently doing a 12-month long training in Archetypal Alchemy which will enable me to understand my clients’ health in terms of deeper, psychological and energetic patterning as well as strengthening my own intuition. I aim to use this to support positive growth and transformation with women going through peri-menopause.

What is functional medicine?

Functional Medicine emphasises a definable and teachable process of integrating multiple knowledge bases within a pragmatic intellectual matrix that focuses on functionality at many levels; rather than a single treatment for a single diagnosis. Functional medicine uses the patient’s story as a key tool for integrating diagnosis, signs and symptoms, and evidence of clinical imbalances into a comprehensive approach to improve both the patient’s environmental inputs and his or her physiological function.

The Institute for Functional Medicine teaches health care professionals how to apply these principles in practice through an intensive 5-day training course called Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice.

I attended and completed the AFMCP-UK training in London in 2018.
