Science-Led Nutritional Therapy in Edinburgh and Online
When your health feels complicated, generic advice can leave you feeling even more confused. I help you explore the connections between your symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, health history and everyday habits, then create a realistic, personalised plan that fits your life.
Your kitchen is your everyday lab - and I will help you learn how to use it.
Persistent digestive symptoms and no clear answers?
I help you explore what may be driving your symptoms and make realistic, sustainable food and lifestyle changes so you can feel better in your body and more confident about what to eat.
Together, we turn your kitchen into your everyday lab, so you can become your own health scientist.
Hi, I’m Dr Nina,
I’m a registered nutritional therapist in Edinburgh, a qualified pharmacist and a scientist with a PhD in organic chemistry. I take a whole-person approach, supporting adults with a broad range of health, nutrition and wellbeing concerns in person in Edinburgh and online across the UK.
My background in pharmacy and scientific research shapes the way I work. Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, I consider the wider picture - including your health history, nutrition, lifestyle, medications, daily habits and personal goals.
My approach is evidence-based, carefully researched and tailored to you. My analytical mindset helps me connect the dots and turn complex information into clear, practical steps. Above all, my role as a certified nutritionist is to help you make sense of your health, understand your body better and feel more confident in the choices you make.
You’re in the right place if…
Living with ongoing symptoms can slowly chip away at your confidence. You may feel disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or unsure which direction to take next.
Nutritional therapy gives us the time and space to make sense of what is happening. I bring together your symptoms, health history, diet, lifestyle, medications and everyday routines to look for meaningful patterns. From there, we build a clear, personalised plan designed to help you feel more informed, supported and in control of your health again.
What I can support you with?
Digestive health: Personalised nutrition and lifestyle support for people experiencing bloating, IBS-type symptoms, SIBO, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort or food-related digestive concerns.
Weight management and metabolic health: A realistic, non-restrictive approach to weight management, appetite, cravings, blood sugar balance and sustainable eating habits.
Women’s health and changing life stages: Personalised nutrition support for women navigating hormonal changes, perimenopause, menopause and changing nutritional needs.
You do not need to figure this out alone. My role is to help you understand what may be driving your symptoms and support you step by step with a plan that fits your life.

Questions…
-
Both. I mostly work online across the UK, but I offer face-to-face appointments in Edinburgh if you would prefer.
-
We talk briefly about your symptoms, what support you are looking for, and whether I am the right fit to help you.
-
Not always. Recommendations depend on your symptoms, history, and goals. If extra support is appropriate, I will explain your options clearly.
-
Most clients start with a 12-week personalised programme, with different levels of support available. Changes take time, and we usually need at least 12 weeks together to start seeing results.
