General Nutrition Coaching Questions

1. What does a nutrition coach do?
A nutrition coach helps individuals develop healthier eating habits through guidance, education, and support. I focus on sustainable food choices to improve overall health and well-being.
2. How is a nutrition coach different from a dietitian or nutritionist?
I provide guidance and motivation to help individuals adopt healthier eating habits but do not diagnose conditions or offer medical nutrition therapy. Registered dietitians and nutritionists are qualified to provide medical advice and treatment plans.
3. Can you help with medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure?
I can offer general nutrition advice for a healthy lifestyle, but I do not provide medical nutrition therapy. If you have a medical condition, I recommend consulting your GP or a registered dietitian first. I can then support you in implementing their recommendations into your daily routine.
4. Can you diagnose medical issues?
No. If you’re experiencing symptoms, please speak to your GP. Once you have their guidance, I can help you build healthy nutrition habits that fit within their recommendations.
Coaching Approach & Process
5. Who do you work with?

6. What can I expect from working with you?
Personalised support, education, and accountability tailored to your lifestyle and goals. My approach focuses on long-term change rather than short-term fixes.
7. Do you provide meal plans?
I don’t offer strict meal plans, but I can guide you in making balanced food choices that suit your goals and lifestyle. My focus is on education and habit-building rather than rigid meal structures.
Logistics & Pricing
8. How do coaching sessions work?
I offer one-to-one coaching sessions tailored to your goals, challenges, and progress. My advice is backed by the latest nutritional science, and I provide crib sheets after sessions to reinforce key learnings. Sessions may include goal setting, habit tracking, and practical strategies for improving nutrition.
9. Do you offer online coaching?
Yes, I predominantly work online, making coaching accessible from anywhere. If you’re based in South Devon, we can discuss in-person consultations.
10. Do you offer group sessions or workshops?
Absolutely! I love working with groups to share knowledge, address challenges, and create action plans. Group coaching provides a supportive environment and accountability to help maintain progress. If you have a group in mind, let’s discuss how we can work together.
