Meet the
Flourish Team

Hi,

I’m Gloria, the Flourish Nutritional Therapist. I am an accredited Nutritional Therapist with in-depth scientific and evidenced-based knowledge in nutrition, food nutrients, the medicinal and nutritive value of food in relation to health and wellness. I spend time with my clients to find out more about their lifestyle choices, nutrition seeking behaviour, dietary habits, motivation, environment, challenges, nutrition health and wellness goals and then, create individualised nutritional therapy plan to meet their needs.

My Nutritional Therapy practice is holistic, and it is centred on restoring the body’s balance and maintaining it. This is based on my knowledge and understanding of the biological life process – homeostasis, which involve the interrelated functions of the various organs and organ systems in the body to maintain a “nearly constant internal” environment. This is because, person’s wellness depend on the wellness of each organ system and the harmonious interactions between the organ systems.

During working with clients, I focus on the body’s metabolism with nutritional behaviour change, physical activity, dietary and lifestyle modification being the core of my practice. This is because, ageing, life’s stresses and ill-health can gradually diminish the body’s ability to carry out its life processes, thus, affecting the body’s metabolic regulation and the body’s vital life force.

I advise clients on nourishment that can shift their body from metabolic imbalance to metabolic balance to enable the body to self-regulate its metabolism efficiently. I use my sound understanding of the synergistic effect of the combination of adequate nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle modification and nutritional supplementation on the human body metabolism and so, I work with clients to create personalised nutrition and exercise plans for optimum health and weight loss for each client according to the assessment of their individual nutritional and health needs.

I am trained in Biological Sciences, Nutritional Sciences, Public Health, Nutritional Therapy, and Social Work. I am an accredited Nutritional Therapist, a certified Metabolic Balance Coach, a Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessor, and a Certified Smoking Cessation Practitioner. I have over a decade experience in Nutrition advice and healthy lifestyle promotion. I am a strong advocate of health improvement, preventing ill-health and maintaining optimum health at individual level and at population level.

I look forward to working with you to Nourish your body to flourish!®

Best wishes on your healthy Lifestyle journey!
