Hello
I'm Claire Cohen

dipCNM mBANT rCNHC

Since qualifying in 2022 as a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, with a diploma from the College of Naturopathic Medicine, Bristol, I’ve been supporting clients through Nat-Nut Nutrition – the clinical practice I set up inspired by all I’d learned during my training. I offer practical, personalised diet and lifestyle advice to help people take steady steps towards better health and wellbeing.

Another side of my work is to deliver talks and run cooking workshops on a range of wellbeing topics, helping others feel more confident in the kitchen and more informed about their health choices. In addition, I work part time as a nutritional supplement advisor in a local health food shop, this keeps me up to date with product developments and in touch with the community. 

As part of the team at the National Centre for Integrative Medicine (NCIM), I work as both a therapist and a tutor. It’s always a privilege to deliver ‘Food for Mood’ sessions to students at both Bath and Bristol Universities. I especially value the opportunity to work with the medical undergraduates, helping them explore the role of nutrition as part of a holistic, therapeutic approach they can carry forward into their future clinical practice.

My approach is rooted in making realistic, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life. I am particularly passionate about the wide-ranging benefits of whole foods and enjoy bringing what I’ve learned into the kitchen to create simple, nourishing meals that support long-term wellbeing.

My Journey to
Nutritional Therapy

I grew up in a family where food was used as celebration, ceremony, and reward, then spent the 90s working in advertising in Soho, where food was excessive and ever present. I had fun and indulged without thought of the consequences. Dancing in clubs was my main form of exercise!

On the millennium, Wallace and Gromit brought me to Bristol, and while working as an animation puppet maker, I rediscovered the outdoor world and all the adventures it had to offer. I wanted my body to give me the necessary energy to enjoy it.

 

I hiked long-distance trails, walking with all my supplies on my back. My first long-distance bike ride was the Outer Hebrides, the second was a year peddling from Alaska to Ushuaia, the tip of South America.

My last solo hike at 48 years old, the Te Araroa Trail through New Zealand, led to my body starting to complain. Sharp pains followed by X-rays and physiotherapy on my toes showed the wear and tear signs of osteoarthritis.

 

No conventional treatment made any difference; I was not prepared for this to worsen or ruin the activities that I enjoy.

I worked with a nutritionist to make changes, starting with an anti-inflammatory diet. I realised how much more I could have got from the previous activity if I had had an awareness of nutrition.

 

This is what I want to share with others.
