About Sally
My aim is to empower you to make the best choices for your own health and wellbeing
Hello! I’m Sally
Health writer, Reg Nutritional Therapist (rCNHC) & Reg Nutritionist (MBANT)
Nutritional therapists are often viewed as pious, clean-living individuals, baking kamut muffins for fun. I hate to disappoint you – I’m really not like that.
Having spent my teens and early twenties as a terrible pescatrian (more of a ‘pastafarian’ if I’m honest, living on pasta bake and cheese) I know from experience the detrimental effects of poor food choices.
Zero energy, spots, raging pre-menstrual tension, bloating, crazy bowel habits…the list goes on.
At age 21 I got a job in a fantastic local healthfood store (Tullivers in York city centre) and slowly began my journey into the world of herbs, nutrition, naturopathy and positive lifestyle changes.
I loved sharing this information with customers and decided to take things further by qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist.
Fast forward quite a few years (and a few grey hairs, and a return to eating meat!) and I now run ‘Nutrition in York’. I provide talks & workshops to groups and organisations, write nutrition & health articles for various publications, and work in nutrition education as Clinic Supervisor and Module Leader for Clinical Practice on the MSc Nutrition Science & Practice course at Northern College of Acupuncture here in York.
