About

Hello! I’m Jennifer!

nutritional therapist, HOLISTIC HEALTH COACH, & pharmacist.

I have been working in healthcare as a pharmacist for the last 20 years. Throughout my career I have worked across various sectors including community, hospital &, GP practices and although I love elements of my job, I always felt there was something missing. I love educating people on their medications and medical conditions, and helping to reduce their medication burden and side effects where possible. This passion for helping others optimise their health led me to explore the world of lifestyle medicine and nutrition.

In 2019 I began to research alternative solutions for both my patients and attended a lifestyle medicine course in London. I left feeling truly inspired! I knew this was the right path for me and could see the huge impact it could make to peoples lives including my own.

Soon after this I enrolled with The College of Naturopathic Medicine to study naturopathic nutritional therapy and health coaching with The Institute of Integrative Nutrition a few months later and I haven’t looked back since.

I am passionate about sharing the techniques and knowledge which have had a huge impact on my life with you! By combining my pharmaceutical knowledge with a naturopathic, whole person approach I provide a unique service which bridges the gap between conventional and alternative approaches to healthcare.

These are a few of my favorite things…

  1. I love being in nature whether it’s mountain biking, paddle boarding, hiking or wild swimming, I’m here for it all!
  2. I’m a food fanatic! I’ve had a passion for food from a young age, so you won’t find any restrictive diets here! Nutritious food doesn’t have to be boring!
  3. I come from a family of itinerary makers and I love being organised. I’m a big fan of a plan and I am obsessed with Marie Kondo ~ there is magic in tidying up!
  4. Travel! Oh how I have missed it over the last couple of years. I have so many places still to tick off the list but my favourites so far have been skiing in Japan and backpacking in Vietnam!

Day 2 of our camping adventure started at the base Day 2 of our camping adventure started at the base of Stob Ban 🏔️

We saw one person as we packed up the tent and that was it for the day 🏕️

We’d had the best of the weather the day before but despite the lack of views the scenery was still breathtaking.

It’s a scrambly route, which I’d love to go back and tackle in the summer with a smaller bag. 

The second summit was Mullach nan Coirean, a much gentler giant than Stob Ban, before the long descent back to the car park. 

I had this song stuck in my head all day so it seems fitting to attach it to this post . 

It was definitely a challenging couple of days but has ignited my enthusiasm for wild camping again as well as pushing my limits in the mountains 🏔️ 

I love looking back at where we’ve come from and what we’ve achieved. It’s amazing to think where our little legs can take us!

What adventures do you have planned?

The Ring of Steall 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️ We had a last minute The Ring of Steall 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️

We had a last minute change of plans last weekend. 

The plan was Crianlarich, but as so often happens, time was not on our side and we found ourselves in Fort William.

The adventure began with a night hike into Steall Falls where we set up camp 🏕️ 

We were treated to a midnight serenade of bagpipes from a nearby Bothy, which was unexpected 😂

What a view to wake up to though 🌅 

The weather forecast was better than expected and we decided to go for it and hike The Ring of Steall 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️

This was definitely a challenge for me, especially since we were carrying a lot of extra kit for camping. 

But with every challenge comes a sense of strength, resilience and pride when you are able to look back and say “Wow, I did that!!”

We then retraced our steps and wild camped near a lochan close to Stob Ban ready for day 2! 

Have you done this hike before? Is it on your to do list?

One of my life goals is to complete all of the Munros.

In 2024 I managed to tick off 34 and for one reason or another the mountains fell off my priority list last year.

But I have decided that I miss them and the feeling I get from escaping to the hills.

Maybe escaping isn’t the right word, but despite the massive bag on my back, the moment I set foot on a hike I feel like a weight is being lifted. 

Day to day worries fade away and are replaced with being present in the moment.

The mountains challenge me. 

They build resilience and strength, both physically and mentally. 

They bring new faces and stories from others on their own adventure. 

They bring smiles, tears, laughter and memories. 

Not every hike goes according to plan, but that reminds me to be adaptable and helps me to learn and grow. 

For me completing the Munros is not just a tick box exercise. It’s a way of challenging myself, exploring Scotland and filling my free time with new adventures. 

I hope you’ll enjoy sharing the experiences with me along the way and that it might inspire you to go on your own adventures ☺️
