Save your skin.
Is your skin unhappy?
You’re not alone. 60% of us suffer or have suffered from a skin condition at some point in our lives (British Skin Foundation, 2018).
The body’s systems are all interlinked. The outside is linked to the inside.
Digestion. Immunity. Hormonal balance. Detoxification. Energy metabolism. Structure and cell renewal. And when one system is out of balance it can affect all the others.
Nutrient intake and absorption, food sensitivities, gut function, immune system function, liver function, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, mindset and genetics can all be part of the happy skin puzzle. Using the knowledge I have gained from my training, current scientific research and clinical experience, I can help you untangle these underlying causes and support you in your quest for happy skin. I offer consultation packages designed to meet different challenges and needs - see below to choose the perfect one for you.
I started my clinic to help those who struggle with their skin, having experienced for myself the positive impact that nutrition and lifestyle changes can have on skin health. If you’re interested in my experience you can read about it in My food story.
The health of the skin, on the outside, is often a good mirror of the health of the body on the inside.
And your skin can be supported both from the inside and the outside.
Choose from three consultation packages.
Depending on your skin challenges and goals.
I offer three consultation packages - the foundational See & solve package, the practical implementation Support package and the habit and mindset building Sustain package. Keep reading for more details on the packages.
You can also add the Save the world consultation which gives practical advice on how to eat withough damaging the planet, while reaching your happy skin goals.
We can talk about the ideal package for you depending on your circumstances and needs, during the free 15 minute discovery call that you can book below. Based on past experience, clients have most success with the Sustain package as it offers practical implementation support as well as a tried and tested process for creating long-lasting habits and a helpful mindset, which is important to achieving results.
Consultations take place online, via Zoom video conferencing, where and when you’re most comfortable.

The discovery call is an opportunity for you to find out what nutritional therapy and lifestyle medicine is - and how it can help in your particular case. It’s also a chance to find out about how I work, if we’re a good fit for each other and which consultation package is best suited to your circumstances.
So send me your name, e-mail address and when you would like to have a discovery call. I take appointments Fridays 9-5 GMT.
Please fill in all fields and I will respond as quickly as a growing pumpkin.
“I’d given up hope that my eczema would ever improve. I had literally tried everything! But Astrid’s step-by-step advice and support helped so much. My skin has never looked and felt better.”
– Anna
“Astrid’s advice was clear and realistic and I really liked that she made sure I felt involved in the changes we made. I’m happy I found her after struggling with my skin for years. Finally I’m not thinking about skin all the time. It’s a cliché but I feel free.”
– David
How it works.
Before the first consultation.
Before attending the first consultation, I will send you a questionnaire and food diary to complete a week before we see each other. This will ask for information that I need to form a detailed picture of everything that may be impacting your skin health, such as your symptoms, medical history, family history, hormonal health, environment, stress, lifestyle and of course diet. Based on all this, I’ll be able to research your case and give the right nutrition and lifestyle advice tailored to your unique circumstances, when we see each other in the first consultation.
The first consultation.
This is the very important foundation consultation in your personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan.
In the first consultation we will talk through your questionnaire and diary, I will tell you about the research I’ve done, what I think is going on in your case and what we can work on. And finally we will together agree your personal nutrition and lifestyle plan, that you feel is achievable and enjoyable (yes, that’s right!) in your everyday life. I will only ask you to remove things from your diet if it’s absolutely necessary!
Sometimes I will recommend functional tests or supplements, if I think this will be beneficial based on your unique needs and my research, but I always try to work mainly with nutrition and lifestyle advice.
Follow-up consultations.
These are shorter catch-ups where we review how the plan is working, make adjustments and support multiple body systems.
Depending on your individual goals and needs we will agree on a package of consultations at a pace that suits you. From experience, when working with skin health optimisation and especially problem skin, a 3-6 month programme is most effective, as we work with multiple body systems to support your skin.
Based on past experience, clients have most success with the Sustain package as it offers practical implementation support as well as a tried and tested process for creating long-lasting habits and a helpful mindset, which is important to achieving results.
You can also add my signature Save the world consultation to your package, which gives practical advice on how to eat withough damaging the planet, while reaching your happy skin goals.
