Services

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend the services of Paula Southworth.

I saw Paula on a friend’s recommendation. I arrived panicked, distressed and depressed about the recent uncontrolled weight gain I had been experiencing, as well as a myriad of other symptoms ranging from fatigue (both mental and physical) to aching joints.

Paula’s calm and nurturing demeanour quickly relaxed me and we built a lovely report. After an initial intensive consult, Paula devised a carefully considered plan for me to follow. During the follow up consultations, Paula guided, educated and encouraged me to continue with the changes necessary to improve my mental and physical wellbeing. The changes were introduced in the manner of small manageable adjustments. Each visit was packed with advice and I left armed with new recipes to try.  Within a short time, I was well on my way to a healthier, fitter, energetic and happier life. I am pleased to say that the reasons for seeing Paula in the first place have gone and I have made positive, life-long changes to not only my way of living, but the whole family’s too.

Meeting Paula and having regular sessions with her over the past months has changed the way that I approach what food I buy, prepare and enjoy.

I learnt to understand that this way of turning my food choice around was all about making small changes over a length of time.

Paula was inventive and supportive in working with me to get the most out of changes that we as a family were making. Paula provided me with her knowledge and provided alternatives to the foods I had been using for years.

Over the months, we had one on one sessions where I felt comfortable sharing the nutritional journey and appreciated how Paula customized her suggestions to me as an individual. I learnt to choose foods more wisely and I had many recipes from which to prepare interesting snacks, mains and sweet treats without sugar.

With Paula’s sessions I have the tools in which I can refer to, to get inspiration and I thank her for her changing the way in which I now look at a healthy lifestyle.

I highly recommend Paula to you as a very knowledgeable and practical nutritionist. From the first visit I was guided and provided with the advice I was able to use straight away,

Over several sessions, Paula gently built on the previous consults to scaffold me into a daily regime that became my natural (new) eating habits.

We are all individuals and Paula caters to this as part of her approach to helping you become the new you.

You will not regret it.

I am amazed by the difference my life has taken since I have been seeing Paula.

When I initially saw Paula, I was feeling really depressed, I was bloated, had a very sensitive stomach and very loose stools up to six times per day and had nausea and headaches which kept me awake at night. I was also frequently going to the toilet during the night and not getting a good night’s rest.

Paula is extremely knowledgeable and professional yet friendly in her delivery and rapport with me. I started on a strict FODMAP diet which was very restrictive in the beginning but within 2 weeks I started to notice small differences in my gut. There were no more gurgling noises, I wasn’t going to the toilet as frequently and I started feeling better within myself.

I stuck to the FODMAP diet for 8 weeks until Paula started re-introducing foods and seeing what the reaction was like. She provided information and advice every step of the way and provided delicious recipes which I still use today.

I now am eating more “normal” foods but steer clear of gluten and eat vegetables at every meal and love my morning smoothies with kale, spinach and a few dates. I am sleeping really well and have more energy. As a bonus, I have lost weight, no more bloating and people have commented how well I look.

Paula is passionate about her field and this is evident to see and it has been a life changing experience for me. 

I would not hesitate to recommend anyone with similar symptoms of IBS to gain some valuable advice and help from Paula. Stick with the diet and the results are worth it.

Thank you Paula for making my life so much better. I wish you all the best for the future.

With gratitude and thanks

Paula was so helpful, informative and enthusiastic – able to help me sought through all my random questions from a good research base. I really appreciated her opinion and guidance. Going on the AIP diet was daunting but with Paula’s help it was absolutely doable. She shared lots of good recipes, information and links. Food and cooking is more of a chore for me but Paula managed to rev me up and keep me on track with tricks and time savers  Time and money well spent!! Thank you 

Warmest regards

Over five sessions, Paula took me through the entire spectrum of nutrition in a comprehensive but straightforward manner. She looked at my particular situation and talked me through really effective ways to eat will under any circumstances – I am a startup business owner so my time is very limited. I have managed, with Paula’s guidance, to maintain the best diet I’ve ever had over an extended period, all during some of the busiest times of my life. Paula gave me the tools and recipes to satisfy my appetite in a healthy and balanced way. I don’t hesitate to recommend Paula. Her service is about the most cost and time-effective way to enhance your health!

I first contacted Paula to get help for my elderly parents who were losing a lot of weight on their limited diet, which was not sufficiently nutritious. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Paula made a number of helpful suggestions about simple changes they could make to improve their diet, and healthy products they could buy, which were convenient. I was so impressed that I signed up for regular sessions. She helped me set goals to lose my extra weight by choosing nutritious and filling options that would sustain me for my active lifestyle. I kept a food diary, which helped with awareness of what I was eating – to reduce the carbs and sugar. And to match my energy intake to what was appropriate for the demand. Paula provided interesting and tasty recipes which I have used a lot. And she helped with meal planning to ensure I continued to make healthy choices. I lost 10 kg+ over a few months and have kept it off. And I feel much fitter and healthier now. Thanks, Paula!

Paula has really helped me embrace the Mediterranean diet. Doing so has helped me immensely, my mood is fantastic pretty much all the time now, I have not slept this well, in well over 15 years and I have energy levels I never thought possible. Paula’s recipes and assistance with making personal lifestyle changes has changed my life forever and for the best.

I wanted to say thank you also for all your help, you have really done more good in my life than most of my doctors/therapists combined.

Thank you again
