The Nourish Method

A 12-week 1:1 coaching experience to help professional women stop restrictive dieting, eliminate comfort eating, reclaim their motivation, beat fatigue so they can lose weight sustainably.

A message from Dr Aileen

My mission is to help women step away from restrictive dieting, calorie counting and unsustainable weight loss approaches.

Instead helping them to build healthy habits to reclaim their motivation, energy and self confidence so they can improve their health and lose weight with ease.

Dr. Aileen - The Nourish Method

If you’re anything like the women I help you’re probably…

Frustrated, having tried every diet under the sun. You know they’re restrictive yet you still blame yourself and your lack of motivation and willpower for the after dinner snacks and short lived results. 

Think about food 24/7. After years of dieting, you’re not sure what to eat anymore. You find yourself feeling guilty after a chocolate bar or worrying about a meal out. It’s exhausting!

Blaming yourself. You know what to do, but you can’t quite seem to do it. You’re a high achiever and have high standards yet struggle with consistency when it comes to you and your health.

This is more than just weight loss. You’re fed up of restrictive diets and want to learn how to nourish your body instead. You want to lose weight while becoming the healthiest, most confident & most energetic version of you.

Trust me, this is NOT YOUR FAULT.

You’re not alone. Traditional diets fail 80-95% of the time.

The problem is that they’re restrictive and unsustainable. Nobody can count every calorie or weight every morsel of food.

The “Eat less and move more” advice isn’t a realistic approach when you have a busy stressful schedule with demands at work and home.

Traditional weight loss approaches focus solely on food and overlook the root cause which is why crave and eat sugary snacks.

Losing weight sustainably means looking at the whole person and helping them build sustainable healthy habits rather than just telling them what to eat. 

This means addressing stress, sleep, energy, mood and relationships as well as food and exercise.

Dr. Aileen having a cup of coffee

Hey, I get it. I’ve been there too.

Back in 2013 when working as a junior Doctor I was stressed out, exhausted and short on time. 

I found myself seeking comfort in chocolate and ice cream after a long shift at the hospital.

Desperate to fix this, I studied Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine to better understand the relationship between stress, fatigue and comfort eating.

In 2018 I qualified as an NHS General Practitioner but felt I was doing my patients a disservice in a 10 minute appointment where instead of treating the root cause with lifestyle changes, I’d give them a pill to ease their symptoms.

If type 2 diabetes can be prevented by lifestyle changes then why are the numbers growing?

And if obesity is linked to many other health concerns, why isn’t healthcare proactive and preventative by everything at once, helping our patients live longer, improve their quality of life and reduce the need for medications? 

I wanted to help my patients get healthier and treat the root cause of their symptoms.

So I left the NHS and traditional healthcare for good.

I took the leap to follow my passion and help women treat the root cause of their weight gain, energy and stress concerns.

In 2022 I shared my story on the TEDx stage.

The Obstacle is the Way book on a table

Weight loss doesn’t need to be a journey of restriction.

Instead, it’s a journey of self-nourishment where you learn how to optimise your sleep, melt away stress, nourish yourself with quality nutrition, and the weight slips off as a result?

Looking forward to meals out with friends and navigating them with confidence, knowing exactly what to choose, eating mindfully and enjoying the occasion.

Feeling motivated and energised after a full night's restorative sleep. Feeling productive in work even on the busiest days, walking into meetings with confidence and having energy for your family in the evening.

Feeling confident in your own skin. Enjoy getting dressed, feeling proud of putting your health first and knowing that you’ve found a sustainable and built healthy habits that will last for life.

Over the last 7 years I’ve found that women who come to me for weight loss typically fall into 1 of 3 categories…

  • Calorie Counters

    Calorie Counters

    These women count calories and try to eat as little as possible. They think they should do more exercise to burn calories.

    They follow strict diet regimes with success but it’s short lived. They lose and regain weight time and time again.

    They believe they need to eat less and move more to lose weight.

  • Sneaky Snackers

    Sneaky Snackers

    These women blame themselves for not being able to stick to their diet plan.

    They’ve had success in the past, but can’t stop snacking.

    They realise their snacking is the problem and believe they need more willpower and self-discipline to stick to the plan so they can lose weight.

  • Comfort Eaters

    Comfort Eaters

    These women recognise there is more to weight loss than counting calories or following a plan.

    They realise that they comfort eat when they are stressed, busy or tired.

    They’re craving a less restrictive and more sustainable approach to weight loss.

    They believe they need to fix their mindset and their relationship with food so they can lose weight.

Dr. Aileen holding her note book

Here’s what our clients have to say…

Over the last 7+ years, I’ve helped 200+ women to diagnose and treat the root cause of weight gain, stress and exhaustion so they can take control of their health, beat fatigue, manage stress and lose weight.

No calorie counting, cutting carbs, hunger or relying on willpower

Instead, an insightful, evidence based and realistic approach to help you lose weight sustainably while reclaiming your energy, improving your sleep, managing stress and improving your health.

But I want you to know that the Nourish Method isn’t for everyone…

This IS NOT right for you if…

  • You want a quick-fix weight loss plan to lose as much weight as you can as quickly as possible and don’t care about the repercussions on your health.

  • You’d rather have a cookie-cutter automated program with no human support

  • You want to count your calories or track your macros on MyFitnessPal for the rest of your life or worse, go back to your diet club.

  • You want a quick fix, or someone to make the change for you, and you’re not ready to show up fully and be coached and supported.

  • You’re not open to looking at stress, sleep and emotions and their role in hormonal balance and how they impact the foods we choose to eat.

But, it’s PERFECT for you if…

  • You KNOW there is a healthier, more sustainable way to lose weight but you’re nervous about stepping away from counting calories or cutting carbs

  • You’re craving the support and guidance to build healthy habits and change your entire lifestyle instead of another restrictive diet

  • You want to learn how to reduce stress and understand its role in comfort eating so you can eliminate both for good.

  • You want to heal your relationship with food so you can enjoy eating out, a chocolate bar or a glass of wine without feeling guilty or going overboard.

  • You want to learn how to do this for life, not just for 12 weeks or to lose weight for a holiday or wedding

With over 200+ 5 star reviews Dr Aileen’s expertise is held in high esteem

Dr. Aileen in a grey sweater typing on her laptop

Maybe you’re wondering “how is this any different?”

Or, “how do I know if this will work for me?”

Most of the women I support ask the same questions and quite rightly so.

They’ve usually been trying to lose weight for many, many years blaming themselves and their lack of willpower and discipline.

The truth is, it isn’t your fault.

Dr. Aileen sitting happily on her couch

Most diets don’t diagnose or treat the root cause of weight gain.

That’s why 80-95% of weight loss attempts fail in the long term.

They’re restrictive, focusing on calories and food often leading to poor relationships with food compounding the problem and making it worse.

Instead, we need to take a holistic approach to wellbeing and weight loss.

One that addresses the reasons why your motivation lacks, energy levels dip and cravings creep in.

Where you build healthy habits instead of forcing yourself to stick to a plan.

An approach that addresses your psychology and helps you to shift your mindset.

That’s why I offer complimentary consultations. It’s important that I know if we can help before offering someone the opportunity to enrol in coaching.

One of the fundamental shifts required to make a change is to see yourself as worthy.

Worthy of seeking support and asking for help.

There are ALWAYS other things to do and to invest in.

There will always be something else more urgent than your health until you choose to make it a priority and invest in the support you’ve been craving.

Think about it this way; who else benefits from a calmer, more confident and more energetic you?

  • Do you become more focused and productive at work?

  • Do you feel more connected in your intimate relationship?

  • Are you calmer and more present with your kids?

It isn’t just about weight loss.

It’s about addressing your whole life - a journey to becoming a healthier and happier person.

Imagine what it would be like to…

  • Have total clarity on why previous weight loss efforts didn’t work out in the long run and stop blaming yourself for your lack of willpower or motivation.

  • Enjoy proper meals, carbs and chocolate while you’re eating while losing weight without the fear of falling off the bandwagon.

  • Eliminate food guilt and stop referring to food as good and bad, and instead enjoy all foods, in moderation, as part of a healthy balanced diet.

  • Be able to soothe your stress and emotions instead of turning to food for comfort

  • Enjoy meals out with pleasure without the fear of ruining your weight loss progress.

  • Create sustainable motivation that feels easy and enjoyable instead of relying on sheer grit or determination to eat well and exercise regularly

  • Enjoy getting dressed in the morning feeling confident in your clothes and enjoying getting pictures taken

  • Having the energy to enjoy life, be productive in work and enjoy your evenings with your family.

Here’s everything that’s included:

  • Personalised food diary analysis and feedback so you know exactly what adjustments you need to make to lose weight in a healthy way.

  • Diet & Lifestyle Assessment to get clarity on your personal situation and ensure that all suggestions and coaching are tailored to your personal circumstances.

  • Onboarding call (1 hour) together we’ll reflect on your food diary, and diet & lifestyle assessment so we can create a custom nutrition plan, metabolic profile and health & well-being road map to ensure success from day 1.

  • Personalised Metabolic Profile I’ll calculate your calorie needs so you have scientific clarity on how to lose weight without hormonal imbalances or hunger which can cause snacking.

  • Personalised Nutrition Plan tailored to your food choices and calorie targets so you can still enjoy your favourite meals and treats without feeling hungry or restricted and while still losing weight

  • 1 x 1:1 Behaviour Change Consultation with Raeleen Thomson, Mental Health Nurse to help you build tools and strategies for navigating stress, snacking, cravings, boundaries, work life balance or anything else that you may want support with.

  • Unlimited messenger access to Raeleen, so you can receive real time support on mindset hurdles or barriers that may arise during your journey.

  • Nutrition plan amendments at week 4 so you won't get bored. After this you’ll learn how to create your own nutrition plans with confidence.

  • Access to our custom app where you’ll be able to access your coach by messenger and track results at your fingertips so you can visually see your progress.

  • Recipe book access with over 30 quick & easy family favourite recipes to help you lose weight without having to eat rabbit food.

& as if that wasn’t enough.

Dr. Aileen with her hands raised mid-air and smiling

Meet your coach

Hi, I’m Dr Aileen, Medical Doctor, Women’s Weight Loss Expert, TEDx speaker and former NHS GP. 

Over the last 7 years I’ve helped hundreds of women to diagnose and treat the root cause of weight gain even when they’ve failed at others things before.
I’m a wife and step mum of 2. I enjoy walking in the highlands, long slow lunches, ice cold pinot grigio and dark chocolate that’s been kept in the fridge!

I accidentally fell into the work I do now after nearly burning out and finding myself seeking comfort in chocolate bars and ice cream.

Fast forward 10 years, and I walked away from the NHS and traditional healthcare, built a successful business, and performed a TEDx talk in 2022 to share my story and discoveries.

Dr. Aileen slicing a an orange bell pepper

I absolutely love supporting women.

There is nothing on this earth that is more rewarding than helping a woman reclaim her self worth and finally crack the code for sustainable weight loss.

It’s always more than just weight loss… It's a journey of self discovery, self confidence and self compassion. Learning to love ourselves, unconditionally instead of punishing ourselves with food.

I believe every woman deserves to live her healthiest and happiest life.

That includes you… your time is now.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Nourish Method has been specifically designed for professional women who want to get healthy, have more energy, improve their self-confidence, lose weight and manage stress. Typically the women we work with are aged 40-55.

  • You’re not alone. Most of our ladies have dieted for at least 5-10 years, some since childhood. When women come here to coach, they’ve usually exhausted other efforts, OR they realise that cookie-cutter approaches are restrictive, unhealthy and unsustainable.

    The women we work with are looking for high-level expert advice, support & accountability.

    They understand that there is more to losing weight than counting calories or cutting carbs. They value their health, and they’re no longer willing to compromise on it to lose weight.

    We pride ourselves in providing a red-carpet service with high-level personalised support and science-backed education which covers all aspects of health, including sleep, stress, nutrition, diet, exercise, relationships, mood and more.

    In short, we diagnose and treat the root cause of weight gain and educate & equip our ladies with the skills, tools and habits so that they can make the lasting lifestyle changes they desire and never need to diet ever again.

  • The bottom line is AS MUCH SUPPORT AS YOU WANT!

    In private coaching, you’ll have unlimited access to Dr Aileen by booking a 1:1 call or messaging her on the phone app.

    Dr Aileen does take time off at weekends, but any questions would be responded to on a Monday.

    There’s also a VIP members community where you can access Raeleen Thomson, our Mindset Coach, AND you’ll be connected with other like-minded women who are on the same journey.

    You’ll also be invited to 6 x group coaching sessions. These usually take place on a Tuesday evening at 7pm.

    Finally, our Customer Concierge Louise Carmen will be there to support you throughout.

    We have all bases covered, but it’s up to you to choose what level of support feels best for you because every client is different.

  • At week 8 of coaching, you’ll be invited to book a Reflection Call. This is an opportunity to celebrate your progress (because, as women, we often overlook our own wins!) and to re-evaluate your goals.

    When women come into coaching, all the fear and doubt is eliminated within the first 1-2 weeks. This opens up new opportunities and excitement for what’s possible.

    Some women choose to enrol in further coaching programs such as Mindset for Weight Loss or Level 10 Living. This is absolutely not mandatory and not always recommended. It’s important to assess this on a case-by-case basis and to support you with all of the information so that you can make a fully educated decision about your next steps.

  • On average, your commitment will be 1 hour per week. This is split into 2 x 30-minute blocks of time.

    Over the last 6+ years, Dr Aileen has refined the coaching process so closely to ensure that your time is well spent.

    The bespoke coaching curriculum with high touch points fast tracks the entire process because you’re only being given support, feedback and education that is specific to your individual situation.

  • It’s absolutely crucial that we’re confident we can help you before we offer you the opportunity to coach here.

    Bringing in a client who isn’t ready for change OR who isn’t a good fit for what we offer feels awful for EVERYONE involved.

    We want what’s best for our clients. If we’re not confident we can help you, we won't invite you into coaching, and instead, with consent, we will refer you to another practitioner.

    Dr Aileen used to work as an NHS GP, and that’s one of the reasons she left medicine for good. She wanted to help people transform their lives, health and well-being. This couldn’t be achieved for each and every patient in the NHS.

    We pride ourselves on our 5-star reviews, outstanding results and reputation bringing in a client that isn’t a good fit would damage that.

  • It’s normal to be scared. This is the biggest fear of every woman who enrols in coaching. You’ve probably never heard of or tried anything like this before, so it’s difficult to know what to expect until you’re inside.

    Our application process and in-depth Diet & Lifestyle Consultation aid us in identifying exactly what we’re looking for in our clients before. That means we fully understand each and every client's goals, challenges and struggles before we invite them into coaching.

    Dr Aileen personally reviews each and every application and carries out primary consultations to ensure that we only bring women in who are a good fit and who are ready to change.

    Just because you’ve failed at other things before, or been dieting for 30+ years OR feel scared it wont work DOES NOT mean you won't get results.

    In fact, most of the ladies we support feel all of those things.

    Enrolling into health, lifestyle & well-being coaching is a life-changing experience. It’s about putting your health first, taking a leap of faith and learning along the way.

    We see this time and time again. Once you are 1-2 weeks into coaching, the fear will melt away, and the pride and excitement will begin to take it’s place!

  • The group call times are currently alternate Tuesdays at 19:00 GMT.

    These are held by either Dr Aileen or Raeleen Thomson (our expert in house Mindset Coach) alternately and cover various topics from mindfulness to socialising while on a weight loss journey.

  • No, these calls are complimentary. The reason being is that we don’t know if we can help you until we’ve had a conversation.

    It’s really important to Dr Aileen that we understand exactly what challenges someone is faced with and assess whether they’re ready to change before inviting them into Nourish.

    Despite being complimentary, don’t be disillusioned. These consultations are powerful. Even for ladies who do not enrol. We have often heard back from them months to years later about how that single conversation was the catalyst for change!

    You’ll also receive a Diet & Lifestyle Kickstart Video. This video explains exactly what will be covered in your consultation and how it all works. It’s essential that you watch this short video before your consultation, so you know what to expect, what questions to ask and how it all works.

  • These conversations are fully supported and guided by Dr Aileen and her naturally warm and empathetic nature. There’s no need to be nervous or worried.

    Ladies express how safe they feel in these conversations. Dr Aileen will gently explore your desires for your health & well-being. She will support you in identifying your biggest challenges, uncover what you’ve tried before and get crystal clear on exactly why this didn’t work and what to do instead.

    The goal here is to diagnose and treat the root cause of weight gain, unlike other superficial or one size fits all dieting approaches. Dr Aileen will make a clear diagnosis and build a customised strategy together with you right there in your consultation.

  • Diet & Lifestyle Consultations typically last for 60 minutes. Dr Aileen likes to have the time to really understand everything in detail and give women the time and space they need.

I can’t wait for you to get started; you’re going to love it.

The Nourish Method will change your entire outlook on life.
