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 clearer skin, more energy, better digestion, or renewed confidence — I’m here to support you.
Eating shouldn’t be stressful. It shouldn’t cause discomfort, flare-ups, or guilt. 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
Hi I’m Lucy, passionate nutritional therapist and also bona fide normal human being. Nutritionists aren’t born with an instant affinity for kale and avocados, we also like ice cream too! Previously Lucy Patterson Nutrition, I ran a busy practice in Bristol for several years. I have returned to my Devon roots and love living near Sidmouth, with my partner and 2 young children and our little feline friend Marley.
Why I Do This
Like many of my clients, I didn’t always feel my best — It was my own ill health, a decade of upsetting IBS and acne symptoms, plus a PCOS diagnosis, that led me down my path to study nutrition and find resolution. What changed everything was discovering how targeted, evidence-informed nutrition could support my body in a real and lasting way. Now, I help others cut through the confusion and finally feel better — with personalised, practical support that fits their life and it really is the best job in the world. A fusion of science and creativity.
