Hi, I’m Helen James and I started HJ Nutrition in 2017 to help and educate women about the relationship with food, health and hormones.

I have a Post-Graduate Diploma from Middlesex University in Personalised Nutrition and studied Nutritional Therapy at CNELM in Wokingham.

I have always been passionate about food –  both sweet and spicy! As a keen cook, I loved experimenting with flavours and world cuisine and I was also known for my baking skills and even worked in a cafe baking cakes for a while.

It was after a stay in hospital in 2013 when I realised that my high sugar diet had ‘messed up’ my hormonal balance. I needed to look after myself and make changes to feel healthier, fitter and balance my hormones as I approached the dreaded menopause. This led me to study nutrition science and find the facts rather than trying to make sense of the conflicting media headlines we are bombarded with.

I now have the professional knowledge, tools and experience to help you on your journey to good health and living life to the full.

Helen James is insured as a Registered Nutritional Therapist with BANT and is under voluntary regulation via the CNHC register.  

Nutrition is at the core of Helen’s practice but she also holds an advanced diploma in Eating Disorders and Obesity psychology from the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED).
