Have you ever tried to change your lifestyle habits to encourage wellness, weight loss, or even modify a disease state without the use of Pharmacology?

There are so many diets and exercise platforms that are available but simply, most if not all diets that are advertised are not suited to everyone. As Human beings none of us are the same!

Cassia Health is a group of Allied Health Care Professionals who have gained qualifications within evidenced based scientific and medical knowledge. They understand medical conditions and the therapeutic requirements to promote optimum health.

Unlike other diets Cassia Health has united Therapists together alongside Personal Training specialists, Chefs, and local organic farm food producers to bring all round packages of care to your door after an initial assessment and prescription of wellness has been created for you.

    Our Core Principle

    The core principle of implementing behaviour change is making the ‘healthy choice’ an easy choice.

    Our core principle is offering each client a bespoke prescription of dietary intake which is underpinned by evidenced based therapeutic practice to enable a change in their health state for now and in the future. 

Once we have created your personal prescription for health, we will offer you an easy and correct choice of menus, exercise platforms and massage intervention, bringing your plan to optimise your body function for health and wellness needs.

Karen

Menu Creator

Hi I’m Karen your Menu therapist!

I’m a foodie through and through so I trained to become a chef many moons  ago at Northampton  College..
This led me to work in many kitchens  here in the UK and overseas  including the French Alps as a  chalet chef.
I’ve always enjoyed creating exciting , nutritious menus and I felt inspired to teach our younger generation  so I trained as a teacher of Food & Nutrition.
 I enjoyed many years in the classroom teaching various  ages of students and courses including The Leith’s Certificate of Food & Wine to 6th formers.
Many foodie educational trips were organised to places  including Barcelona. and Venice and all thoroughly enjoyed until the ash cloud came along!..... being stranded at Girona airport with 40 students was certainly no fun!!
I’ve run cookery schools and clubs for little ones to engage them in food preparation whilst always promoting and encouraging healthy eating which I feel is essential for a healthy mind and body.
I’ve been very lucky to have honed my skills throughout the years working in this way, and I still have a passion for food, and love sharing that passion with people.
I am super excited and delighted to be joining Cassia Health and I look forward to creating fun, nutritious and creative menus for you and your family to enjoy!
