A lifetime of learning.
A life that still includes you.
I'm Cynthia: nutrition coach, GLP-1 coach, former science technician, single mother of two, and a woman who has been through the changes of midlife myself. I created Nourish & Thrive for women like you.
The story behind Nourish & Thrive.
Why I created this coaching, and what I hope it brings to your life.
Somewhere along the way, we forget ourselves.
I didn't create Nourish & Thrive from a place of perfect health or an easy life. I created it because I have been where many of my clients are now.
After my divorce, I raised my boys as a single mother, with no family nearby to help. I held down two jobs to keep everything going. Somewhere in the middle of it all, I came last. My health declined, and my personal life took a back seat.
What got me through was staying positive and taking life one day at a time. Small, steady habits, not big dramatic changes, slowly helped me rebuild my energy and my confidence.
I have walked this path myself, and back then I wished I had help. Someone to guide me, cheer me on and remind me that I mattered too. That is the coach I set out to be for you.
I know how easy it is to put everyone else first. I also know that looking after yourself doesn't mean abandoning the people you love or spending money you don't have.
My background, your everyday life.
I have worked across science, fitness and coaching, as well as beauty-related and technical fields. My goal is to turn complex information into clear, achievable everyday actions.
Fitness instructor
More than 15 years teaching fitness and helping people move with confidence.
Science technician
Scientific and technical experience that informs my curiosity and appreciation of evidence.
Support during and after GLP-1
I coach women who are using GLP-1 weight-loss medication, or coming off it, to eat well when appetite changes, protect their strength and build habits that last. I work alongside your prescriber; I never advise on medication or dosing.
Nutrition and wellbeing
Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach, with a background including cosmetic dermatology, dental engineering and life coaching.
You do not need another impossible routine.
Through practical nutrition education, movement, recovery and behaviour-change coaching, I want to help you build a healthier way of living that fits your responsibilities, budget and goals.
The aim is not to become perfect. It is to feel more confident about the choices you make, and to remember that your own wellbeing deserves care.
What I believe
- Taking care of yourself is not selfish.
- Food should nourish, not punish.
- Small changes can fit around real responsibilities.
- Learning should build confidence, not dependence.
- Everyone deserves respectful, non-judgemental support.

Nourish & Thrive is an independent English-language online coaching service based in Norway, working 1:1 by video with women in the UK.
My work is nutrition education and behaviour-change coaching, not medical care, registered dietetic treatment, diagnosis or medication management. When a client needs clinical care, I encourage support from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
