frequently asked questions.

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance, and individual care. Nutritional Therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Looking at the foods you eat and your requirements for vitamins and minerals is a small part of Nutritional Therapy. I also take the time to understand how you feel right now, how you would like to feel, the signs and symptoms that bother you right now, how you sleep, how stressed you feel, ow often you move, when you eat, how you eat and who you eat with.

Nutritional Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to reassess your lifestyle as a whole and to really listen to your body. It is a bit of time for yourself.

My approach is practical, science-based, and judgment-free. Instead of one-size-fits-all diets or endless supplements, I focus on getting to the root cause so you can see results without wasting time and money.

I am registered and regulated by the British Association for Applied Nutritional Therapy (BANT), and am a member of The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

Many of my clients come to me after spending months or even years trying different solutions with little success. I help you cut through the confusion around which food to eat and which product to try by using nutrigenomics, functional nutrition, and targeted strategies to find out what your body truly needs—so you stop guessing and start feeling better.

Depending on the length of the programme and the key focus, some people can expect to experience higher energy levels, balanced blood sugar levels, improved skin health, emotional and psychological wellbeing, improved gastrointestinal health and tolerance to a broad range of food groups.

Yes! I'm the mum of a AuDHD little girl so I understand how difficult this can be.

I specialise in helping parents reduce mealtime stress and food battles for neurodivergent children with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, and gut issues.

My approach is gentle, practical, and tailored to your child’s unique needs. I use Nutrigenomics which help us focus on potential nutrient deficiencies. We can then target our approach to get better results than looking at food only. 

Your food diary, a list of current medications, and any recent test results.

Payments are made via bank transfer prior the appointment.

I offer additional support via email, WhatsApp, or Messenger for additional questions in between consultations.

In some cases, focusing on food and lifestyle strategies may not be sufficient to find the root cause of the imbalances. Functional testing provides valuable data to help us make the whole healing process more targeted and therefore much more effective. I offer genetic tests (nutrigenomics), stool tests for gut issues and hormone tests like the DUTCH test. 

You can choose the appropriate programme to address your health issue. The majority of clients tend to work with me for a minimum of 3 months so that they can benefit from on-going support to ensure long-term health improvement. 

If you do need to cancel an appointment, please let me know with at least 24 hours’ notice. You can do this by emailing me on s.olmi@savoirfayre.co.uk

You do not need a doctor's permission or a prescription to work with a nutritional therapist; however, if you are under the care of a doctor for a specific disease or illness, you may want to inform them that you are modifying your nutrition in order to improve your general wellbeing. Nutritional therapy may be a beneficial addition to more traditional care, and it may also alter your need for medication, so it is important you keep your physician informed of changes in your nutritional program. If you are under the care of another healthcare provider, it is very important that you contact your healthcare provider(s) and inform them about your use of nutritional supplements.

Before we book a consultation, you are invited for a quick chat on the telephone to discuss your health challenges. You can contact me via email at s.olmi@savoirfayre.co.uk or you can call me on 07983335647. You can also complete the form on our contact page.
