HELLO
I’m Alia, a qualified Nutritional Therapist, registered member of BANT (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine), The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), and the ANP (Association of Naturopathic Practitioners). I’m a keen cook, gardener, photographer, runner and mother living in my favourite city of Bristol. I am at my happiest cooking up nutritious hearty food for my most loved or out stomping in nature, exploring the nearby coastline and countryside with my husband and little ones.

My Story
Food has always played a central role in my life. From a young age, I was drawn to cooking nourishing, home-cooked meals, with an early understanding that food and health were deeply connected. That foundation stayed with me through my twenties and thirties, even as I built a demanding career in film and television — an industry defined by long days, late nights, irregular meals and a relentless pace.
For many years, I lived in survival mode, burning the candle at both ends. Nutrition, rest and recovery were often sacrificed and over time my health reflected this. I experienced hormonal imbalances, absent periods, digestive issues, recurrent skin infections and chronic fatigue — my body was screaming at me.
Something had to change. I began to explore how nutrition and lifestyle could be used not just to manage symptoms, but to support the body at a root-cause level. I retrained as a nutritional therapist and was amazed by the body's capacity to heal when given the right conditions.
Becoming a mother profoundly deepened this understanding. Experiencing pregnancy, birth and a difficult postnatal period first-hand revealed just how extraordinary the female body is — and how dramatically its nutritional needs shift across fertility, pregnancy and postpartum. This ignited a strong passion for helping women navigate fertility struggles and feel supported through these transformative life stages and pushed me to focus my training and work in these areas.
Today, as well as supporting a small number of general nutrition clients, I specialise in hormonal balance, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition. I love working with clients through these deeply personal journeys. My work is rooted in the belief that women deserve to feel informed, supported and deeply connected to their bodies at every stage — especially during seasons that ask so much of them. It's quite frankly superhuman and it's privilege to support clients as they restore trust in their bodies, reclaim their health, and move forward with confidence.
