Nutrition and running coaching services
As a Registered Sports Dietitian and UK Athletics Coach, with over a decade of NHS and private experience, I provide expert nutrition and coaching packages to optimise your health and performance. I have particular expertise in endurance sport and plant-based nutrition, but all dietary preferences and levels of physical activity are welcome!
All consultations are remote, via Microsoft Teams. Information on my business consultancy and media services can be found here.
I offer all prospective clients a free ten-minute introductory (no obligation) telephone call to discuss specific goals and concerns. Please contact me to arrange yours or request one of my coaching packages.
I got in touch with Tom to discuss his Race Week Booster package ahead of running Manchester Marathon. I’m so pleased I did! His recommendations were specific, practical and easy to follow. On the day itself the race went better than I could have dreamed, and I felt strong throughout despite running 18 minutes faster than I did 12 months ago and breaking 3 for the first time.
I called upon Tom’s services to help me with a 100km ultramarathon. I had not run further than 50km before and knew nutrition would play an important factor in navigating the distance. My experience with Tom was fantastic, from analysing my diet, identifying deficiencies, advising on liquids and food to consume on the day itself, and with the post run recovery phase. Thank you!’

As I write this, we've just taken off from Valencia, on our way back to London Heathrow. Even if it weren't for the pink bracelets on every arm and 'easy run' shoes on every foot, it's unmistakably a plane full of tired, creaky, happy marathon runners. It's time for...

Why do sports nutrition qualifications matter?
Even before completing my qualifications to become a Registered Dietitian back in 2013, I was pretty sure that at some point I would work in sports nutrition. Given that I spend the majority of my spare time playing, watching or thinking about sport, it always seemed...
