About Sally

Writer | Speaker | Reg. Nutritionist

Hey, I’m Sally

Natural health writer, author, speaker, and perimenopause nutritionist.

My story

Nutritionists have a reputation for being pious, clean-living individuals, baking kamut muffins for fun.

I hate to disappoint you but I’m not like that at all.

In my teens and early twenties I was a terrible pescatarian. Well, more of a ‘pastafarian’​ given that I lived on pasta bake and cheese. My poor food choices led to zero energy, spots, raging pre-menstrual tension, bloating, and crazy bowel habits. I was not in a good way!

But everything changed when I started working at Tullivers a fantastic health food store in York, UK. Here I began my journey into nutrition, herbs, and positive lifestyle changes.

Helping customers felt so rewarding that I decided to become a Nutritional Therapist. I studied part-time for 6 years while raising my son and working, and gained a BSc in Nutritional Medicine.

For more than a decade I ran a private clinic in York working with clients of all ages with all sorts of health issues.

I also worked as part of the education team at a leading supplement company for several years, then moved into education, working as the Clinical Lead and Assistant Course Director on the MSc Nutrition Science & Practice course at NCA in York.

When lockdowns came I put my 1-1 clinic on hold while I finished my book, Natural Nutrition for Perimenopause. Published in May 2021 it’s been a steady seller ever since and has become the friendly, practical, supportive guidebook hundreds of women turn to time and time again.

I reopened my clinic in 2022 and now offer nutrition & lifestyle support to peri/menopausal women alongside writing for wellness brands and complementary practitioners, and working on my next book.
