nutrition Services
Whether you are trying to improve your health or an athlete looking to take your performance to the next level I can help.
With so much conflicting, often incorrect nutrition information out there, it can be hard to know what to do. I aim to provide you with clear, understandable, bespoke advice based on the latest scientific research to support you towards your goals.
I don’t believe in creating restrictive hard to follow diets. Instead, I will get to know your habits and lifestyle and make suggestions for small changes that will benefit you. This means you are more likely to adhere to the changes and the benefits will last.
If you’re a sports team, school or business looking for someone to present to your team, school or employees on nutrition and healthy habits, this is something I can offer too. Please contact me to discuss your individual requirements.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Rachel Rhodes
I have worked with Steve now for over 18 months. Before this, I had never realised the importance nutrition has when training. Steve's attention to detail and professional approach to nutritional strategies certainly helped me to understand the complexities of nutrition whilst training for a marathon. Always putting my needs first, he ensured that I was able to get the best out of my body during training.
David Turner -
Loughborough University Head Throws Coach
Steve has been able to support my coaching group of development athletes at Loughborough University over the past 18 months. Steve's advice has helped from both training preparation and recovery and also competition day nutrition strategies. This has been particularly valuable for events such as BUCS Championships, where athletes are sometimes expected to qualify for the final and compete in the final on the same day. These extra elements of performance preparation proved essential to one of the group winning the most recent Championship and become British No.1.
The world is changing, and athletes are no different Therefore Steve has also helped support the three vegetarian athletes in the group to ensure they benefit and recover from training effectively and safely.

FAQs
Cancellation Policy
I understand that sometimes life throws up surprises that aren’t preventable or foreseeable, so please contact me if something comes up that may affect your ability to attend appointments. I will try to accommodate where possible.
I require at least 24 hours notice of cancellations.
In the event of cancellations, the following will apply at my discretion:
If less than 24 hours notice is given, you are liable for the full cost of treatment, unless I am able to fill the appointment slot.
No-shows:
If you do not attend without notice, you will be charged for the full cost of the session
Late arrival:
If you attend later than the arranged appointment time, I will still finish at the agreed arranged time and you will lose that amount of time from the appointment that you are late (e.g. if appointment is booked for 11.00-12.00 and you do not arrive until 11.10, I will still finish at 12.00 and you will lose 10 minutes of the appointment). If I don’t have to be anywhere after the appointment is due to finish, you can pay for additional time to make up for the time you lost from lateness.
