ABOUT ME
MY NAME IS RICHELLE ISAACS
As a registered nurse for over a decade, I love supporting people through their health journeys. However, my passion for nutrition started when my own health was challenged with gut and muskulo-skeletal issues and I was given very little support from orthodox medicine.
I studied Nutritional Therapy at the Natural Health College, and after furthered my training in health coaching and now volunteer as a Health Coach for the NHS.
Nutritional therapy is about using food and lifestyle changes to enhance your overall health and well-being. It’s rooted in the functional medicine model, which focuses on identifying the underlying causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms. By combining this approach with the latest, high-quality research, I can create personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations designed to help you restore and maintain optimal health.
As we’re all so wonderfully different, with unique health histories, genes, lifestyles & habits, it makes sense that our nutritional needs are also different. Taking a personalised approach is therefore essential in supporting clients on their path to optimal health.
Nourish Health
Through using evidence-based nutrition approaches, I work with you to create tailor-made recommendations and recipe plans to support your health goals.
Balance Life
Using naturopathic assessment tools such as iridology, nail and tongue assessment, I can recommend a variety of modalities as well as nutrition such as bach flowers, hydrotherapy, ayurveda and tissue salts to find the best path for you to wellness.
Empower Wellness
With training in heath coaching and counselling, I appreciate how hard it can be to change habits of a lifetime. I help provide you the tools to make those changes and empower you to take control of your health. experience to help support my clients.

My Approach
When it comes to fertility, pre-and post-partum care, and hormone health, I’m here to guide and empower women and couples with the knowledge and support they need. My goal is to help you optimise your reproductive health, nurture a healthy and thriving pregnancy, and enhance your postpartum experience- every step of the way.
Because of my own experiences with health challenges, I’ve developed a special focus on supporting Neurodivergent individuals and those with hypermobility. I understand the unique needs these conditions can bring, and I’m passionate about providing care that’s tailored to support your well-being and help you thrive.
My approach with every client involves conducting a thorough, client-led consultation, following the below process to create bespoke, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle plans:
I assess client’s medical history, lifestyle factors, symptoms, current dietary habits & specific goals
-
I use saliva, urine, hair and/or blood analysis if I feel it will provide a deeper insight into a client’s health issue. Testing is always optional, never compulsory. I can use this to help look into potential root-causes of infertility.
-
I consider factors such as age, gender, genes and environmental influences that can affect a client’s nutritional needs.
As a fertility nurse for many years, I can support clients in the lead up to IVF or during the IVF journey to get the best out of their treatment
-
From my counselling skills and health coach training, I can support clients to know what questions to ask doctors and how to ask them to get the best results and work towards their health goals.
-
I review all this information alongside the latest, high quality nutrition research, enabling me to develop bespoke, evidence-based nutrition & lifestyle plans for my clients. These include tailor-made dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications & potentially, the use of nutritional suppleme
