About Me
Firstly, it's lovely to have you here.
My name is Hannah Louise Norris, I am a freelance nutrition consultant. I have 7+ years experience in the health, wellness and fitness industry (I am also a qualified fitness coach!)
My passion is in helping people understand food, diet and their body, how to feel positive and most importantly nourished. I want to help educate and empower people and hopefully one day work on an initiative to reduce obesity starting from infancy.
I have always been active and a ‘foodie’ – I love cooking (and eating!) – I’ve worked as a bootcamp instructor and you’ll often see me playing touch rugby or in the gym when I’m not working, or going for a run along the river or of course having some wine with my friends in the sunshine!
What is ‘HANUTRITION’
HANUTRITION is a play on my name but to me it also stands for
Health and Nutrition Nourishment and Happiness
My Approach
I believe in a holistic, positive, balanced and personalised approach – not ones size fits all. I utilise my education, scientific evidence and experience to make judgement on each situation.
I promote an 80:20 lifestyle and try to encourage understanding, rather than just telling someone what to do. Ultimately, there’s no quick fix.
