Emma has always had a keen interest in food, cooking for her family from age 7. She trained as a chef and worked in Central London with the Conran Restaurant group. This led to a deeper interest in how food worked with the body.

After completing a BSc (hons) in Nutritional Therapy at the University of Westminster, she became Senior Lecturer and Senior Clinic Supervisor at Westminster for 14 years. This lead to experience in a very wide range of clinical subjects through casework in the student clinic.

Alongside her educator role, she opened her consultancy, holding food and nutrition talks with charities. She has worked with several school caterers, improving school dinners and trained school cooks and childminders in food and nutrition. She sees clients in her practice and has corporate clients working in recipe development and staff training. She is now Course Lead at the University of West London Nutritional Therapy undergraduate degree.

Emma was Chair of BANT for 5 years and started the CPD process within the organisation. Emma has been a BANT Accredited Professional Supervisor since 2017, running online and face-to-face supervision groups where practitioner development is the cornerstone of a thriving practice.
