How I Can Help
I work from a place of empathy and zero judgement — having faced my own health challenges, I understand how tough it can be.
My goal is simple: to help you enjoy food again and feel your absolute best.
Whether that means more energy, better digestion, better heart health, or renewed confidence — I’m here to support you.
Food should feel like support (not stress). You shouldn’t have to worry about flare-ups, guilt, or restriction — instead I help you rebuild a nourishing, flexible relationship with food that actually works for your current life phase.
Food is fuel, but it’s also joy — and when it’s balanced in a way that works for you, it can help you feel and look your best.
I don’t believe in “good” or “bad” foods, and nothing you enjoy should be permanently off-limits.
Instead, I’ll help you rebuild a positive relationship with food — and sometimes with yourself, too.
Personalised nutrition is key. We’re all different: in our needs, goals, and food preferences.
If you hate kale, we won’t force kale! Together, we’ll find the foods that support your health and that you actually enjoy eating.
A bit about me
I’m passionate about nutrition, but I’m also a bona fide normal human being. (Yes — we like ice-cream too!) Formerly practising as Lucy Patterson Nutrition in Bristol, I built a busy gut-health practice. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life — local families, entrepreneurs, even royalty — learning that everyone benefits from kindness, clarity, and tailored support. Now I’m back in my Devon roots, living near Sidmouth with my partner, two young children and our little cat Marley.
Why I Do This
Like many of my clients, I didn’t always feel my best — years of distressing digestive and skin symptoms and a PCOS diagnosis sent me looking for answers. What changed everything was learning how targeted, evidence-informed nutrition could work deeply and lastingly. Now I help others cut through confusion, finally feel better, and live with support that fits their lives. It’s a mix of science, creativity, and what I believe: health should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
