A Little About 'The Hypothyroid Fatigue Coach'

Claire, the founder of Health Empowered, is first and foremost a people person.  She is  passionate about health improvement. She 'fell' into Nutritional Therapy when trying to find solutions for her 3 sons, all born with Congenital Hypothyroidism.  Her second son became almost bed bound, as a result of mis-managed Thyroid treatment.  Following her determination for answers and solutions, she found Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield, who at the time was a pioneer in alternative Thyroid treatment.

Under his direction she succeeded in getting her son well and decided to study Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy at the College Of Naturopathic Nutrition in London, at the same time as clocking up experience under Dr Peatfield's mentorship.

Since qualifying she has worked tirelessly to expand her knowledge to help the growing numbers still suffering from Thyroid issues.  In addition she has become one of the leading interpreters for Nutrigenomics testing (the study of genetics in relation to health).

In practice, Claire believes that her life experiences through Adverse Childhood Trauma and the family disease of alcoholism ensures that compassion and empathy are the foundation for helping others,  Her training and application of Health Coaching is often a key part of the healing process, along with her love of anything 'geeky' and biochemical.

She is grateful to be in this sector of health and wellbeing and is happy to admit that there is always more to learn.
