Nutritionist Support for Interstitial Cystitis & Female Intimate Health Problems
Chronic Bladder or Vaginal Health Problems
Nutritionist support for interstitial cystitis, chronic bladder or vaginal health problems in Manchester & online
Support for recurrent bladder discomfort, vaginal irritation, and intimate health struggles – when you’ve been told “everything looks normal.”
If you’re constantly second-guessing your body, avoiding intimacy or public outings because of discomfort, or living in fear of the next UTI or flare-up, you are not alone.
Many women with persistent vaginal or bladder symptoms, like interstitial cystitis, feel confused, or overlooked especially when standard tests come back “clear.”
But just because your results are ‘normal’ doesn’t mean everything is functioning optimally.
I support women to explore the often-missed contributors to intimate health concerns, so they can feel in control, and reconnect with their bodies again.
As a BANT registered nutritionist and health coach, I specialise in supporting women struggling with chronic vaginal and bladder symptoms that are affecting their daily lives, relationships, and confidence.

Vaginal & Bladder Health Problems
Understanding Interstitial Cystitis, Chronic Vaginal and Bladder Problems
This Programme is for You If You’re Experiencing:
• A pattern of urinary discomfort, urgency or frequency
• Recurrent or lingering bladder pain (with or without a UTI diagnosis)
• Vaginal itching, irritation or discharge that keeps coming back
• Feeling like you’re going around in circles with antibiotics, antifungals or probiotics
• Feeling fine one week and flaring the next – and not knowing why
• Daily discomfort that’s impacting your mood, energy and confidence
You don’t have to figure this out alone. This programme is designed to explore root causes and support your intimate health through personalised, evidence-informed nutrition and lifestyle approaches.
My Approach to Women’s Intimate Health
What Might Be Driving Your Symptoms?
While I don’t treat or diagnose medical conditions, nutritional therapy can help investigate and address potential imbalances that may contribute to vaginal and bladder discomfort.
Some of the factors we may explore together include:
• Nutrient status that affects tissue repair, immune function and microbiome health
• Blood sugar fluctuations and dietary triggers
• Gut health – including potential dysbiosis or overgrowths
• Vaginal and bladder microbiome imbalances
• Hormonal shifts that impact vaginal pH and protective bacteria
• Stress and nervous system dysregulation
• Irritants from skincare, laundry, or personal care products
I take a whole-body, root-cause approach that goes beyond symptom management – all within the scope of nutrition and lifestyle support.
The Be Balanced Intimate Health Programme
What you can expect from an intimate health nutrition plan
• 1:1 Online Consultations
• Personalised Nutrition & Lifestyle Plan tailored to your symptoms and goals
• Optional support using functional testing, such as vaginal or urinary microbiome assessments
• Targeted food and lifestyle guidance to restore balance at your own pace

• Access to resources, recipes, and realistic tools to reduce overwhelm and create calm
I’ll guide you through step-by-step changes to help support your vaginal and bladder health naturally – using science, not guesswork.
Functional Testing
Optional Functional Testing (if appropriate):
If we decide it’s relevant, we may explore functional testing to assess microbial balance, nutrient status or hormone patterns. These are used to guide your personalised plan, and results are interpreted within a nutritional therapy framework – not to diagnose medical conditions.
Testing is always optional and explained clearly so you can make an informed choice.
Disclaimer: Nutritional therapy is not a substitute for medical advice. Please consult your GP for any ongoing symptoms or medical concerns. Functional testing is used to support nutritional assessment and is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Why This Approach is Different
Many of my clients come to me after years of recurring symptoms, frustrated by lack of answers or feeling dismissed. You deserve to be listened to and supported with compassion and clarity.
This programme is about:
• Personalisation – no one-size-fits-all protocols
• Science-based support – grounded in current research
• Partnership – working together to support your body from the inside out
• Progress, not perfection – small steps with lasting impact

Intimate Health Nutritionist FAQ's
Women’s Intimate Health & Nutrition Support
What types of intimate health concerns do you support?
I support women with a range of intimate health issues, including recurrent UTIs, thrush, vaginal dryness, and chronic bladder pain or interstitial cystitis (IC). These are often linked to hormone imbalances, gut health, or immune function—and nutrition plays a key role in managing them.
Can nutrition really help with bladder and vaginal health?
Yes, absolutely. A well-balanced diet can influence your vaginal microbiome, immune system, inflammation levels, and hormonal balance, all of which impact bladder and vaginal health. I use an evidence-based approach to support your body’s natural defences and reduce flare-ups or recurring symptoms.
What is the UTI test and do I need one?
The test is a comprehensive vaginal and urinary health test that screens for bacteria, yeasts, viruses, and inflammation markers. It provides detailed insights into your vaginal and bladder microbiome, which can be especially helpful for women experiencing recurrent UTIs, thrush, bacterial vaginosis (BV), or chronic bladder pain. This test can identify imbalances that are often missed by standard NHS tests. We’ll discuss whether this is a suitable option for you during your consultation, based on your symptoms and health history.
Do you offer support for hormone-related conditions like PCOS or perimenopause?
Yes. Many intimate health symptoms are connected to hormonal fluctuations, so I offer tailored support for PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and hypothyroidism. These conditions can contribute to vaginal dryness, low libido, recurring infections, and more.
Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?
No formal diagnosis is required, but I advise all clients to visit their doctor for any medical advice. If you’re experiencing ongoing intimate health symptoms and feel you’ve been dismissed or told it’s “just part of being a woman,” I’m here to listen and support you with a personalised plan based on your symptoms, history, and goals.
Is this service available outside of Manchester?
Yes, my consultations are 100% online, so I work with women in Manchester and across the UK and Europe. You’ll receive expert support from the comfort of your home, including personalised plans, meal guidance, and regular check-ins.
What can I expect from a 1:1 consultation?
We’ll begin with a full health and symptom review, explore possible root causes, and create a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan. I also offer functional testing where helpful. You’ll receive ongoing support with regular online sessions to keep you on track and adjust your plan as needed.
Can you work with vegetarians or women on restricted diets?
Yes, I regularly support clients following vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free diets. Your plan will be tailored to your dietary preferences and lifestyle, while still focusing on the nutrients needed for hormone and intimate health.
