About
Hi, I’m Paula,
I’m a nutritionist and reflexologist based in Honiton, East Devon, supporting women in midlife and working with organisations and community groups to build sustainable health, energy and resilience.
Midlife, including the menopause transition, can be a time of real change. Many women notice shifts in energy, mood and confidence, often while continuing to juggle busy lives, work and family commitments.
I know from my own experience how powerful a nutrition-led approach can be during this stage, and I believe that working with the body is the most effective way to support long-term health and wellbeing.
WHY DID I DECIDE TO STUDY AND CHANGE CAREERS?
I worked in the airlines and was very privileged to fly long-haul across the world. I got to experience how different cultures address wellbeing. It was great fun. However, I also got to experience first-hand the negative effects of that lifestyle on my physical body. The ever-changing time zones, early starts, night flights, dehydrating atmosphere, digestive disruption and the constant lack of quality sleep, to name just a few.
I saw first-hand how myself and colleagues were close to burnout. This experience inspired me to look after my own health and to share that knowledge with others. That is why I studied Naturopathic Nutrition, Reflexology and Wellbeing Coaching.
Supporting wellbeing in midlife and beyond
My approach focuses on nourishing both the body and the mind. Nutrition plays a central role in supporting energy, metabolic health and healthy ageing, while recognising that wellbeing is about far more than food alone. How we respond to everyday stress, how well we rest, and how supported we feel all shape our experience of midlife.
Alongside nutrition support, I offer reflexology as a restorative practice to help calm the nervous system, ease feelings of overwhelm and encourage deep relaxation during times of change. Used as part of a wider approach, it can support both physical and emotional balance.
A practical, whole-person approach to wellbeing
I believe wellbeing works best when it is realistic and fits into everyday life. Rather than quick fixes or extremes, I focus on small, supportive changes that build confidence and create sustainable habits over time.
When we nourish ourselves physically and mentally, and give ourselves permission to prioritise self-care without guilt, we create strong foundations for long-term health, resilience and healthy ageing.
Midlife as a doorway to better wellbeing
At the heart of my work is a simple belief, midlife can be a powerful turning point for better health and wellbeing. When we begin to listen to our bodies and place self-care higher on the priority list, it often opens the door to healthier habits, greater resilience and a deeper sense of balance.
With the right support, this stage of life can become an opportunity to feel more informed, confident and in control, rather than something to be feared.
Wellbeing talks and workshops
In addition to my work with women, I deliver wellbeing talks and workshops for organisations and community groups. I’m passionate about making wellbeing education practical, accessible and inclusive, helping people understand how nutrition, lifestyle and everyday habits influence energy, resilience and long-term health, both at work and at home.
My sessions are designed to support whole-workforce wellbeing, while also recognising key life stages such as midlife, where targeted, compassionate support can make a meaningful difference.

Continued Professional Development
Chronic Fatigue Management
I furthered my Wellbeing studies in Chronic Fatigue/ME/Fibromyalgia with The Chrysalis Effect accredited training programme. I understand the isolation and frustration felt by clients who have to search for answers to their extreme fatigue and constant pain, often with no dedicated route back to full health. I qualified as an Accredited Chrysalis Effect Practitioner to be able to use the online Recovery Programme, to support clients back to vitality and good health.
Mental Health First Aid
Mental health has never been more important to our overall wellbeing. I qualified as a Mental Health First Aider with the organisation SHOUT. Although no longer an active member, it helped me to understand my clients and be able to support them in their time of need.
Reflexology for Menopause
Reflexology designed to support women through the menopause. To support with the reduction in stress that can make hot sweats and insomnia worse. I’m able to marry this with nutrition support for optimum results for my clients.
Tailored Nutrition and Wellbeing advice
All my therapies work synergistically but can also be used on a standalone basis. Each therapy is unique to the individual and their personal requirements.
I offer one to one support sessions at my clinic in Honiton, East Devon, or online Zoom consultations.
