“Years of pushing myself in high performance sport stressed my physical body to the point where I had to choose a different way. Thankfully now, I have a built on the range of mindset techniques learned in the world of high performance, with somatic methods to ‘re-set’ my systems, and nutritional support for my body to enable sustainable, healthy patterns. I am so grateful for all I have learned, & for knowledge from my sister-in-law & nutritional therapist Edwina Darke, & to The Harpal Clinic (London) for diagnostics and ongoing advice.” Karen Darke

EDWINA DARKE
DipNT, mANP, mGNC, BAHons
A mother of three hungry boys and with an exercise-mad husband, Edwina really understands the demands on keeping a family full whilst making sure they are healthy. It is too easy to become reliant on poor eating and lifestyle habits. Nutrition fuels our mind and our body and even small changes can make a significant difference to how we feel.
Edwina is passionate about educating and guiding individuals on making informed choices to help them support their unique health goals and feel better. However, everyone presents with a different story. Edwina’s nutritional approach is to look at the whole person as there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to health, working together to explore a holistic approach to identify the underlying root cause of symptoms.
