My Mission
My name is Francesca Maragno and I am a qualified, clinically trained Nutritional Therapist based in Woking.
​
I help individuals to improve their wellbeing by offering professional guidance on their nutritional habits, whilst taking a holistic view of their whole being, including lifestyle and environmental factors.
Over the course of my career as a pharmacist, I have had the opportunity to understand and witness first-hand the advantages and disadvantages of the use of medicine to treat illnesses. Although having the right medical treatment is certainly important in the treatment of certain illnesses, I firmly believe that it is not the only solution to be relied upon to take care of our wellbeing. A lot can be done in terms of disease prevention in order to avoid an excess use of medication, and a lot can be done to support our body, in parallel, where a disease is diagnosed and the use of medicine is unavoidable.
Nutritional Therapy came to me as a natural choice.
Nutritional Therapy considers every individual as a whole and does not focus only on a specific symptom or pathology. Everyone is treated as a unique and intricate universe who needs a personalized nutrition and lifestyle programme, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Applying my knowledge in nutrition science, I can identify and assess potential nutritional imbalances, including lifestyle and environmental factors that might contribute to an individual’s symptoms and affect their general wellbeing. This intervention is not a replacement for medical advice. I can work alongside a medical professional and communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in my client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.
