We offer Nutritional Therapy to clients as part of the Centre's holistic approach to care.
All therapists are fully qualified members of a professional body.
What Is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and health science to enable individuals to maximize their health potential. Nutritional therapy can help alleviate a wide range of conditions and assist in the recovery from many ill-health situations. Your nutritional therapist recognises that each person is an individual who has unique dietary and nutritional requirements.
How Does Your Nutritional Therapist Work?
Your nutritional therapist will assess nutritional status and functional capacity by various types of clinical assessment to formulate a treatment plan. She works with clients providing advice on general wellbeing, disease prevention and control, support of chronic health problems. Interventions can include dietary modification, food supplements, phytonutrients and functional foods.
She offers nutrition consultancy to support a wide range of health conditions, including gastro-intestinal and hormonal imbalance, inflammatory conditions, diabetes and many more. Laura has a special interest in chronic diseases, cancer care and HIV.
How many sessions can I have?
Prior to using the complimentary therapies and treatments at the Olive Tree, you will meet
with the Centre Manager to discuss the different therapies on offer and agree those which
would best support your needs.
Members are entitled to 4 free sessions of any therapy they choose or a combination of therapies.
Following this we would request that circumstances allowing, members make a minimum donation
of £5.00 per session
Where will the therapy take place?

Please discuss this with your therapist.
