Caroline is a Nutritional Therapist and Food Coach who works with her clients to achieve a balanced and healthy relationship with food and drink. By developing an understanding of her clients, their individual lifestyles, she is able to address how and why they are affected by stresses, triggers, weight and health issues with an emphasis on negative, compulsive, repetitive, self-sabotaging behaviours.

Caroline offers her nutrition therapy against a background of 14 years working in mental health, neurology, oncology and cardiovascular therapy, giving her a unique and valuable perspective.

Caroine’s Approach

If we do not have a happy and healthy relationship with food and drink and misuse our intake, then our bodies, minds and lives can suffer from stress, ill health and disease.
Through functional testing, including genetic, nutrition and hormone testing, you can take steps to address your individual relationship with food and drink which may be out of balance or out of control.

My purpose is to create awareness and to help bring people back to balance, working towards a state of good health, freedom and peace with an appropriate programme for life.

My spe -t interest is in how to remove repetitive/compulsive/self-sabotaging habits and behaviours, how to reduce and end dieting, the obsession with weighing scales and weight and living with daily stress. Creating fundamental and long-term nutritional changes for individuals, families and groups, whether at home or in the work place.

Qualifications
After graduating at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, Roberta trained with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), completing the Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice foundation course and the Gastro-Intestinal advanced module.

What to expect
Once you have booked an initial consultation, you will be sent a questionnaire and a 4-day diet diary, which you need to return by email before you come to see Roberta.  If you are unsure whether to book straight away, Roberta is happy to offer a free exploratory conversation by phone or Skype to understand your needs and assess whether she can help you. You can contact her at roberta@robertabaldo.com or on 07710134722.

Your initial consultation will last up to an hour and gives us an opportunity to explore your symptoms and their possible causes. Roberta may recommend tests carried out by private laboratories, if further information is needed to ascertain the causes of your imbalances, or liaise with your GP or other healthcare providers where appropriate and with your permission.

We will work together to set your goals and produce a plan involving changes in diet and lifestyle, and possibly supplements. The plan is entirely personal, based on your own genetics and history, your individual lifestyle and tastes, so that you are able to make changes easily and effectively.
Follow-up consultations usually last 30 minutes and usually take place four to six weeks after the first. If you would like a longer session to review your plan or get feedback on your test results, you may like to book a 1 hour follow-up.

Follow-up consultations can also be carried out on Skype.
