More about "The Gut Health Guru"
Hello! I'm Ricardina, founder of "The Gut Health Guru"
BSc Hons Degree in Sports Science | Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist | Nutritionist (BSc MSc RNutr)
Welcome to my website!
This website is the product of 36 years of research, my passion and my commitment for helping others understand health and well-being.
I have been working as a Remedial Sports Massage therapist, Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist and Nutritionist for over 35 years.
Recently, I have been focusing on my work as Gut Health Specialist.
When it comes to addressing health symptoms through nutrition, what works for one person, has little to no effect on a second person, and can actually make a third person worse.
As a Certified Nutritionist and Gut Health Expert, with over 12 years experience, I use science-based evaluation methods to pinpoint the unique needs of each individual and to build a personalised plan.
I have long been a strong advocate for the study of the human microbiome, with a firm belief that treating patients with gut imbalances has the power to prevent and even reverse many prevalent forms of chronic disease.
When I am not in the treatment room I enjoy swimming, reading, yoga, meditation, arts and crafts, and visiting museums and galleries.
Although, if given time you’ll find me exploring/walking in the countryside.
I am originally from Cascais a seaside town just outside Lisbon, Portugal.
I live and work in Petersfield, Hampshire, UK.

Try Nutrition Counselling
My approach to nutrition counselling starts with meeting people where they’re at and implementing simple yet impactful changes that can realistically become everyday habits.
I use an approach that's rooted in motivational interviewing, putting the client at the core of developing nutrition goals.
