SHARON JOHNSTON

NATUROPATH · NUTRITIONIST · LIFESTYLE COACH

Becoming a naturopath was a career change taking me back to follow my passion for food, health and healing practices which work in harmony with the mind and body. My enthusiasm for food and health started in my teenage years with an interest in cooking, and led to the completion of a BSc (Hon) degree in Food and Human Nutrition in the UK. After graduation, a position in food product development progressed to a successful career within the corporate environment, working predominantly as a buyer and category manager for several global retail organisations. Many of the skills I developed in these positions have helped me to be become a successful naturopath – it’s important for me to be organised, focused and a good communicator, to help you set goals whilst understanding what it’s like to work in a high pressure and busy environment. This ensures that your treatment plan is feasible for your lifestyle.
My passion for food and healthy living also ensures that my clients receive a wealth of practical information and tips which help to motivate and facilitate change.

When not in practice I am often involved in corporate health, presenting at seminars, creating healthy delicious recipes (I believe all food should taste amazing!) and writing articles to share with clients or on my wellness blog.
