Nutritionist Birmingham | Energy & Fatigue Specialist

You're coping.

There's just not much left of you by the end of it.

From the outside, you’re managing. Inside, you’re running on empty.

You wake up tired.

More time in bed hasn’t made the difference you hoped for. You crash mid-afternoon and get through the rest of the day on coffee and whatever’s easiest.

You keep putting your own life off.

Seeing a friend, going for a walk, making plans. It all gets pushed back. The weekend becomes time to recover from the week.

You've tried. It didn't stick.

The diets, the supplements, the plans that needed a complete overhaul. When nothing holds, it’s easy to start blaming yourself. It’s rarely a willpower problem.

Why the advice hasn’t stuck

The problem isn't what you know.

It's what you've got left to do it with.

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’ve already tried a lot.

Eating better. Getting an earlier night. Taking supplements. Trying to do a bit less.

Or telling yourself you’re fine and pushing through anyway.

And yet you still feel shattered.

When you’re running on empty, a new routine can feel like one more thing to keep up with.

Missed lunches, poor sleep and a week that never lets up can all affect how you feel. There can be several things contributing, which is why I look at your health, food, sleep and daily life together.

Then we agree where to start, with practical changes to support your energy that fit the week you actually have.

Steady your energy

Small changes to the meals you already eat, so your energy stops dropping out from under you.

Rebuild your headroom

Sleep, stress and recovery, worked around your actual evenings, not an ideal routine.

Make it yours

Understand what works for your body, so you can keep it going after we finish.

What clients have to say

“After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, I felt totally overwhelmed about where to start to holistically support my health. Amid all the confusing online advice, Sian has given me such amazing support.

She is incredibly down to earth and an attentive listener. Her advice is all backed by research, and has you as the client at the centre of it all.

Sian worked so amazingly at giving me the necessary advice, but also being very realistic about how I could implement any change. She has worked all changes into my current routines, and has made everything feel so achievable.

I would highly recommend Sian to anyone looking to see maintainable and effective changes to their diet, and understanding of how to eat to support your health best! “

I reached out to Sian because I wanted help with my health and energy levels. Living with PMOS and ME means maintaining my energy levels throughout the day can be really challenging and I knew I wasn’t giving my body the fuel that it needed.

From the beginning, Sian was incredibly kind, understanding and supportive. She tailored everything specifically to me and my individual needs. With regular check ins, we could reflect on what had worked well, celebrate successes and discuss what to focus on next. I really appreciated that we focused on small, manageable changes over time rather than lots of changes at once.

Everything Sian recommended was backed up by research and she always took the time to explain the reasoning behind her advice. Understanding the “why” made it much easier to make lasting changes. She was also always available on WhatsApp in case I needed extra advice or support inbetween appointments.

The changes I have made with Sian’s guidance have made such a positive difference to my life. I feel so much better, my energy is more manageable and I have a wealth of knowledge and practical tools that I can continue to use in the future.

I would absolutely recommend Sian to anyone looking for personalised, evidence based nutritional support. Working with Sian has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my health!

“I had a fantastic 12 week journey with Sian, learning about myself, learning about how important food variety is, and what I was lacking. Every session it felt like I grew as a person, and I loved experimenting with my lifestyle to find the right balance. Food diaries were a great way to track progress and Sian always had good feedback for how I could continue to fuel myself with a balance. It was hard at first to look at food a different way to fuel myself, but Sian was there every step, on the end of the phone and supporting me with recipes and inspiration!

I am now at the end of my journey, and I feel like a new person, I feel like I have my spark back, and I’ve never eaten so many different foods in a week before! Something connected on my journey, and it feels great!

I had to put the work in myself, but without the education and support for Sian, I wouldn’t feel the way I do today. I am so glad I came across her, and I appreciate the constant support and professionalism throughout! Thank you!.”

Louise

(West Midlands)

“I have amassed quite a lot of knowledge over the years about what I need to eat for my body and particular health issues, but had got confused about it all and had got lost in information overload. Sian helped me to simplify things, gave me some new insights and food ideas and made it easy for me to create meals and snacks that were nutritious and satisfying. I started to enjoy my food more and tried new interesting combinations and flavours.

As a vegetarian, she helped me to think about introducing more varied forms of protein more regularly to my meals and I noticed how much less hungry I felt after my lunches as a result. Having some new recipe ideas was really helpful and I’ve enjoyed testing them out – none of them too hard or too time consuming.

Sian is down to earth, supportive and non-judgemental. I have benefitted a great deal from having a reset session with her and continue to enjoy producing more colourful and nutritious meals. If I ever feel overwhelmed with it all, I go back to her notes and recipes and can get back on track easily. ”

Christina

(Whitley Bay)

“I went to Sian suffering with fatigue, lack of sleep and also wanting an alternative to the HRT route. I felt like I’d gained a friend. Sian was a great listener, empathetic & caring.

Not only am I on a small regime of supplements to protect my body for the future, I am armed with a much expanded knowledge of what foods & nutrition I need as a woman over 50.

We discussed many aspects of my life & Sian made excellent suggestions how to live a more fulfilling & healthier lifestyle. After 10 years I am finally getting a decent nights sleep! I can’t recommend Sian enough, she really has given me the boost I needed and the knowledge to be the best version of me I can.”

Kirsty

(Redditch)

“After years of following different restrictive diet approaches, I decided to do something different. Meeting Sian and working on my health and weight loss goals with a Nutrition Therapist has been a great experience. Sian is very patient and not only listened but heard me. Being post-menopausal, losing weight has become more difficult.

Sian has provided knowledge and recommendations to stop restricting myself and worked with me on my likes, dislikes, cravings, etc to create a healthy and most importantly sustainable eating lifestyle in this stage of my life. So pleased with the decision to work with Sian, and stop the fad, restrictive diets.”

LM

(Solihull)

“Sian was so lovely and professional and listened carefully to all of my woes (of which I have many!). She gave me some great advice and recommendations and after following them I felt much more awake, less stressed and healthier.

The thing I was most excited about was that a large proportion of my psoriasis cleared up which was incredible. I have suffered with it to some extent all of my life yet my skin improved drastically. I have told all of my friends and would definitely recommend Sian to help make a positive change for anyone.”

“Chatting to Sian is like chatting to an extremely knowledgeable friend! Her clear communication and coherent approach make you feel unquestionably at ease.

Sian’s consultations are relaxed, and informative yet not overwhelming. I learnt a great deal and adapted simple nutritional and long-term changes to better my health and overall well-being.”

Meet Sian

I know what it's like to get to the end of the day with nothing left.

I spent over 20 years balancing a demanding corporate career while raising two boys largely on my own. I know the reality of the daily juggle: finishing a packed working day, making dinner, helping with homework and keeping the household running, while still checking work emails late into the evening. I didn’t truly switch off until I went to bed. Then I’d wake up and do it all over again.

Now I’m a BANT and CNHC registered nutritional therapist, trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. I work with professional women who are tired all the time and still keeping everything going.

I understand why recommendations need to work in real life, not just on paper.

I won’t hand you another ideal routine. I’ll explain what’s happening in your body, and we’ll build changes that fit the week you actually have.

More about me

Working together

Understand what’s going on.
Know what to do next.

You don’t need to choose before we speak. We’ll work out what fits on a free discovery call.

For a clear starting point

Energy Review

A pre-session assessment, a 60-minute consultation and a personalised written plan. Around four weeks later, a check-in helps us review what has changed and clarify your recommendations.

For support while you make changes

The Energy Foundation

Twelve weeks of individual support, with six sessions, mid-week check-ins and personalised resources. We put changes into practice, review how they work for you and adjust them together.

You don't have to work it all out before we speak.

Book a free call

Fifteen minutes. Tell me what’s been going on and what you’d like to be different.

Find the right support

If we’re a good fit, I’ll recommend the option that makes sense. If not, I’ll say so.

Focus on what matters

We’ll identify your priorities and make practical changes that work within your life.

What we’re working towards

More room for the life you want to be living.

Steadier energy through the week. Fewer afternoon crashes. Less reliance on caffeine to get through.

An understanding of why you felt the way you did, so you stop blaming yourself for it.

And something left at the end of the day: less of your life organised around how tired you expect to feel.

Why You're Still Tired

A free guide to the four patterns that most often sit behind persistent tiredness, how they build on each other, and why fixing one rarely shifts how you feel.

No meal plan. No supplement list. Just a clearer explanation.

A few useful answers

What happens on the free discovery call?

It’s a short conversation about what’s been going on, what you’d like help with and whether I’m the right practitioner for you. If I am, I’ll explain which level of support I think would suit you best.

How do I know whether I need an Energy Review or The Energy Foundation?

You don’t need to decide before contacting me. We’ll talk about what you need during the discovery call and I’ll recommend the most appropriate option.

How long are sessions and how often do we meet?

Initial sessions usually last 60 minutes. The first session is a chance to talk through what’s been going on for you, including your symptoms, routines, and current pressures. We use this time to build a clear picture and agree on sensible next steps. There’s no expectation to change everything at once.

Follow-up sessions are usually around 30 minutes. We’ll review how things are going, what you’ve noticed, what has or hasn’t been manageable, and adjust your plan where needed.

How often we meet depends on the level of support you need, and we’ll discuss what feels realistic for you.

Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

No extensive preparation is needed. I’ll let you know in advance if there’s anything helpful to bring, so it doesn’t add to your workload.

Is this suitable if I’m already very busy or overwhelmed?

Yes. My approach is designed to work alongside a full, demanding life. We focus on small, practical changes rather than adding more pressure.

Do you work online or in person?

I work with clients in Birmingham and across the UK via online consultations.

What if I’m not sure this is the right support for me?

That’s exactly what the free 15-minute call is for. It’s a no-pressure way to talk things through and decide what feels right for you.

If I’m not the right practitioner, I’ll tell you and, where possible, point you towards someone better suited to what you need.

You've been getting on with it.
Let's give your energy some attention.

Tell me what’s been happening, what you’ve tried and what you’d like to be different. Fifteen minutes, free, no pressure.
