about me
Hi, I'm Katherine Russell and I'm a registered Nutritional Therapist.
I've been interested in health and nutrition for as long as I can remember. As a child I would read whatever I could find in my mother's magazines or on the side of food packets about anything nutrition related. It fascinated me! I knew back then I would do something in the field of health. A Nutritionist, however, wasn't on the list of jobs and careers talked about at school and I never knew back then such a thing existed. So my academic career led me down the path of Science and into a degree, followed by a PhD in Biochemistry. It was during this time, working on new compounds for a novel drug delivery method, that I became disillusioned with the world of conventional medicine and I re-discovered the world of nutrition and other holistic therapies.
Fast forward many years, raising a young family and living off-grid on a 400 acre property, and I finally created the time to turn my passion into learning. After graduating with a diploma in Health Sciences from the Naturopathic College of New Zealand in 2019, I continued my studies back in the UK with the School of Health, graduating as a Nutritional Therapist in 2021. I now offer online consultations as well as face to face consultations in Totnes, Devon.
When I don't have my head in a nutrition book, you'll find me at the beach (my happy place), on a walk or spending time with my husband, three beautiful children and many animals.
