Penny Crowther - London Nutritionist

Consultations

What happens during a consultation?

When you come for your consultation, you will have been asked to complete a confidential questionnaire beforehand. During the initial session, which lasts an hour, a thorough case history is taken to build up a detailed picture of your health.

You will be provided with an eating programme which will fit practically into your lifestyle. Usually a few carefully selected supplements will be suggested in addition to the food programme, to bring the body back into balance. It is then recommended that you come for a follow up appointment to assess progress and make any adjustments, in 4-6 weeks time. From one to three follow ups are required depending on the individual case.

Please call 07761 768 754 to discuss your needs or make an appointment.

About Penny Crowther

Penny qualified as a nutritional therapist in 1997. During this time she has seen many hundreds of individual clients at her practice in SW London. Her life long interest in nutrition and natural health goes back 20 years when she experienced at first hand the powerful impact of food and nutrition on health, as a retail manager for a large health food chain. She then went on to work as a consultant for a vitamin company. Since then she has written many nutrition related articles for magazines such as Positive Health, Families, Green Farm, Health Matters and The Health Times. Publications to which she has contributed include the Daily Telegraph, The Times Literary supplement, Pregnancy & Birth and Marie Claire. She has been featured in the Daily Express and Daily Mirror and has featured twice on local radio. She is a current member of the BANT (British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy) and formerly sat on their ethics committee.

Penny’s approach to nutrition is holistic, and takes into account emotional, mental and environmental factors as well as physical ones. She studied many complementary therapies before training as a nutritionist and is currently completing a qualification in coaching. She is dedicated to personal and professional development and frequently attends lectures and seminars to keep up to date with the latest scientific nutrition research.

Dietary analysis service

If you would like to see a nutritional breakdown of the content of your current diet, I can provide you with a fully comprehensive computerised analysis. This will show you the calorie, fat (saturated, polyunsaturated, mono unsaturated & trans fats), carbohydrate (sugar, alcohol, fibre & starch), protein, vitamin and mineral content of your diet using a 4 day food diary. This is a stand-alone service or it can be used in conjunction with a consultation. The analysis is presented in a comprehensive 37 page report with illustrative graphs and pie charts relating to your individual diet.

Emotional wellbeing

Whilst nutrition is the foundation of health, our emotions and thoughts also have a significant impact on our wellbeing. Research in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology is beginning to show how emotions and thoughts directly affect the health of the immune system.

This confirms what many complementary medicine practitioners have been saying for years, that suppressed emotions and unhelpful beliefs, sometimes programmed from early on in life, can contribute towards the manifestations of physical symptoms. "Toxic emotion" if not dealt with, has a weakening effect on our health and vitality.

Flower Essences

Flower essences are a wonderful and gentle way to help clear emotional blocks. Penny uses combinations of flower essences to help resolve negative emotional states that could be blocking the healing process.

Hypnotherapy and Coaching

For more deeply held emotional baggage, working things through with a psychotherapist is recommended. Hypnotherapy can also be very effective in helping to reprogramme unhelpful thought patterns that may be affecting your physical health and impeding your progress to optimal wellness. My colleague Diana Penny is a highly experienced hypnotherapist. See www.dianapenny.co.uk for more information or call 020 8767 0791. The coaching process helps you achieve your health goals, step by step, moving through any blocks that may manifest themselves. As you start to move forward you can experience a release of energy and motivation.

Testimonials

Here is a sample of genuine, unsolicited quotes from clients:

“I am following meticulously the diet and taking the supplements and it works wonderfully. I don’t have any gas or bloating any more”.

“Just wanted to let you know that I am feeling great again! My stomach has totally settled down. I have been able to eat meat and digest it without a problem. Whereas before I would have said my energy levels were about 80%, I would say they are now 90-95%.”

"I can't thank you enough, I feel so much better."

“The diet is going great. I lost 8 kilos without much trying and the programme really suits me.”

“The supplements have literally changed my life (well made a big difference anyway!).”

“Many thanks for the session last week – it was really useful and informative – have been raving about your insights and advice to everyone since!

“I am delighted to let you know that I feel so much better since I have been taking the supplements. I have been really happy, sleeping better and had so much more energy than normal. So thankyou for your spot-on “diagnosis” and advice.

"It's changed my life!"

"So many, many thanks for your most intelligent and kind help during my pregnancy. You were my best 'doctor' ever."

"The change of diet you recommended seems to have got rid of most of my hayfever and dust allergy. I no longer take anti-histamine tablets."

"I feel like a new person."

"I can't recommend your services highly enough. You're magic!"

"This is the best money I've spent."

“I’ve been meaning to say a huge thankyou for months. Your advice was brilliant. I achieved my transformation in just 12 weeks and knowing what and when to eat was the difference. I was 209lbs when I started and finished at 185lbs.”

“I’ve been feeling so much better since following your plan. I haven’t taken acid reducing tablets in 6 months”.

“We are delighted with our pregnancy and we are very grateful for all the help and advice you have given”.

"Thankyou very much for helping us get pregnant. I am sure that it is not entirely coincidental that after 3 months of taking supplements and changing our diet, I became pregnant. Good luck with your practice and I will continue with the trend of recommending you to others in need."

"This is fabulous news that I am pregnant and we are over the moon. I am in no doubt that the situation is due in large part to your advice and expertise which has made me feel better, thankyou".

"Thankyou so much for a wonderful session - I felt like I gained some real insights and you asked some very helpful questions".
