Kate Neil MSc Nutritional Medicine RN RM FRSA

I have been a nutritional therapy practitioner for twenty years and prior to that I was a nurse and midwife. I first became interested in nutritional therapy when I was at home with three young boys under 5 who had mild to moderate asthma, eczema and hayfever. I was looking for natural solutions to manage their allergies. I was also feeling tired and needed more energy. In 1985 I trained to become a nutritional therapist and along the way found meaningful solutions for managing allergies and fatigue.

Now twenty years later I am running a busy nutritional therapy clinic as well as teaching, writing and directing CNE. I have two specialisist areas of practice and to an extent they are related. My days as a midwife has left me feeling passionate about children's health. There is no better time than before conception to maximise the health of the egg and the sperm that will unite to start the process of making a healthy baby. Preconceptual care remains the 'Cinderella' of nutritional therapy. Mostly couples seek help for fertility problems or after conception has occurred. Either way part of my practice is to support couples wanting to conceive and have a healthy baby. Much of my work today is supporting parents with children that have learning and behavioral difficulties. ADHD and autism are increasing in society and this is a global issue. Many parents travel to my clinic from abroad including Nigeria seeking support for their children with autism. Access to laboratory tests to help design a support programme for their child sometimes necessitates a visit to the UK. I wrote a book in 1993 that was republished in 1998 'Balancing Hormones Naturally'. I see many women with female hormone problems including: fibroids, fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, PCOS and PMS. I also see clients with a range of other health problems. Directing the Centre and supervising the student clinic means that I generalise as well as specialise. As the Director of CNE and leader of our degree courses maintaining my practice enbles me to share a wealth of clinical experience with our students.

If you would like to book a consultation with me then call on 0118 979 8686 or email kate@cnelm.co.uk I organise my own clinic diary as I organise consultations to fit in with teaching and other administrative roles at the Centre. Weekdays, some early evenings and some Saturdays are possible times for consultations.

I look forward to working with you and to support you to express health in a way that is meaningful for you.
