I've been working with Harriet for approximately 5 months on my gut healing journey. When I came to her I was in a mess, struggling with gut symptoms and a lack of direction. I was on too many supplements and she instantly took me off them and showed a clear way forward. She did her best to keep costs down and minimise testing to meet my budget. I have a history of fatigue, IBS and methane Sibo. I have felt confident in Harriet's knowledge and I'm doing much better! My symptoms are significantly reduced, I have so much more food freedom and I've noticed an improvement in my energy levels. My case is quite complex so there's no quick fix, but I feel positive about the path ahead. I can recommend working with Harriet on you gut journey!

Harriet has gone above and beyond to help me with my diet, all her help and advice has really changed my stomach issues for the better! I highly recommend Harriet, she is so caring and understanding.
Rachel Bull
I have been so blessed with meeting Harriet at Illumineat. I had been struggling with my diabetes, migrains & general poor health for years. Harriet explained how Illumineat would work & everything did fall in place . She is so professional and her knowledge is outstanding. She listened to my concerns acted upon them. Gave me better advice & direction than my consultant & diabetic team had ever done. With the correct diet and nutritional advice, it has changed my life for the better. I wish everyone could receive Harriets time, she is amazing, a beautiful person and she really cares about your well being. She is so worth a visit. I will definitely go back for updates and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with their health, what ever their concerns.
Melanie Carpenter
I can highly recommend Harriet; professional, personable, kind and understanding. My plan not only targeted my osteopenia, but uncovered other areas within my health that needed addressing. It was so refreshing to have a professional actually listen and show care. During the three months, Harriet was always contactable, via whatsapp, email or telephone. Working with Harriet has been a rewarding experience.

Andrea Zorrilla
I was immediately struck by Harriet's kind and caring reply to my initial enquiry which gave me confidence that she would try her best for me and so I signed up. Best decision I made! She really took the time to listen to me and what I needed. I was given a completely personalised plan all delivered in clear, easy to follow steps at exactly the right time so I didn't feel overwhelmed by too many changes at once. She even went above and beyond in telling me about different food products and where to buy them and also recommending books to help my understanding. Harriet is extremely knowledgeable and I completely trust her advice. For the first time I'm confident in a healthcare professional knowing how to help me and I'm definitely seeing improvements. I can't recommend Harriet and Illumineat highly enough.

I contacted Harriet after struggling with some of the menopause symptoms.My weight was gradually increasing and sleep was an issue. After seeing Harriet, the plan and supplements that we discussed were simple to follow. My weight has now started to decrease I’ve lost 4 inches from my waist in 3months and my sleep has improved dramatically. I would throughly recommend Harriet as she’s very knowledgeable and spends time listening to what you want and supporting you to find ways that allow you make those lifestyle changes.

I got in touch with Harriet after suffering with menopausal symptoms for some year. My weight was one of the many issues that I had been suffering with, unable to shift excess weight, coupled with the menopausal stomach. After consulting Harriet I have lost over two stone and feel that I have my mojo back. I have more energy and my sleep is so much better. I throughly recommend Harriet, she has been a life saver to myself. Thank you Harriet, I will be forever grateful xxx

This has been such a positive experience and a great investment into my health now and in the future. I'd simply lost my way with food, diet, exercise, energy and especially motivation. Harriet has taught me to love nice,healthy food once again and the benefit of supplements. Everything she teaches you is easy to understand and in small manageable steps. I've started losing weight finally and beginning to feel a but like the "old me" which is a good thing.
Sharon
Couldn't recommend Harriet more! I was really at rock bottom with my IBS and from the get go Harriet gave me hope that together we could get it to a good place, a place that’s manageable. And we did achieve that! By implementing the knowledge and opening up my food choices and overall just giving me the help and support I needed. Even when I have flares up that panic me, Harriet is there for reassurance and gives me the knowledge and tools to get myself back on track. The journey will be life long and it’s not been an easy one but Harriet has been invaluable, I couldn’t have asked for someone better. She is exceptionally knowledgable and incredibly trustworthy to guide you through whatever needed. I loved that from the start Harriet really took the time to understand what I needed and personalised my plan to reflect that. I really couldn’t recommend working with her enough. You do definitely have to be ready to put in the work to change whatever it is you need help with, but Harriet couldn’t be more supportive and most importantly never judges or makes you feel embarrassed about talking about anything. Couldn’t recommend more xx

I spoke to Harriet after suffering terribly with PMDD, heartburn and gastritis all linked to high levels of oestrogen. When I saw her I was low, struggling and in despair the NHS didn’t help me. 3 months later I feel fantastic and like a new person. I plan to see her in the future for any other women’s health support including family planning.
Carlie Wittred
Harriet is incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I trusted her advice 100% and always felt listened to and understood. Even after the initial three months of working together, I have already seen improvements with my migraines and energy levels. Constipation is a thing of the past for me since the very first week of following Harriet’s advice. She has helped me understand all my symptoms and given me the tools and information I needed to continue my health improvement journey.
Iveta
I was recommended by a friend to contact Harriet to help with my gut symptoms , PMS and overall health. I have been doing my plan now for 4 weeks and finally after 10 years plus of being in pain and just getting on with it, I can now enjoy all foods and I know so much more about how food effects my body and overall health . I wish I contacted her years ago but its never to late. I highly recommended Harriet she is full of knowledge and worth her weight in gold !
Ms Alston
Harriet has been amazing I contacted Harriet as I felt I was not getting any answers to my problems with regards to my under active thyroid and chronic fatigue, along with this major digestive problems. I was not having regular bowel movements and when I didn’t I was in chronic pain. Harriet suggested 2 simple solutions that literally worked over night and have continued to do so over the last 3 months. Harriet is the first health care professional that I feel has not only listened to me has show so much empathy and has given solutions that have actually worked and made me feel like there is going to be a time when I don’t feel poorly infact I already feel so much better. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harriet and have already done so. If you are thinking of booking an appointment don’t hesitate contact now.
Rachel Cramp
I recently started with Harriet from IlluminEat. After so many years of dieting, and many health issues leaving me unhealthy and miserable. I was bloated 24/7 and just putting on weight. I had been diagnosed as prediabetic (which I never knew was a thing) and having a number of Pancreas operations has left my digestive system at a huge disadvantage. Harriet has listened to all my symptoms, has taken a medical history and knows what medications I’m on. With all of this she has managed to put me on the road to feeling more like myself in my own skin. I felt a difference in a few weeks and I know it can only get better. I would recommend Harriet is a wonderful nutritionist and she is supportive in so many ways, from helping me understand what I should be eating to explaining how some things affect my body, to listening to me and little things like recommending books etc. that can help along my journey. This is just a shout out to say thank you!
Shola
Harriet is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but at the same time puts you at ease and make you feel heard and validated. I never felt judged or pressured to make everything perfect in my diet which was one thing holding me back seeking nutrition support. The plan Harriet gave me was very detailed and holistic, but at the same time realistic and I don't feel I'm "missing out" on anything. I've lost a stone which was my main goal in seeking advice but I've gained SO much more! My periods are so much better, I'm having fewer migraines and I'm not tired all the time so I feel I can be a better mum, wife, friend. I'm so grateful to her.
Ella Edwards
I went to Harriet for a bunch of reasons including years of awful gut symptoms (IBS) and because I was feeling rubbish with under-active thyroid, PMS that was making life hell ten days of the month, I couldn't lose weight, the list goes on. After 3 months of working with Harriet and really giving my all to the plan, I can confidently say that most of my symptoms have gone. I feel less bloated, I don't live in fear of eating out because of tummy cramps, I'm more energised and more even mood-wise all month long now I know how to work with my cycle. If I'm honest I didn't really think this kind of turnaround would be possible in this time. I would recommend Harriet to anyone struggling with their health. It's probably the best investment I've ever made.
Jess D
I started working with Harriet 3 months ago because I knew my hormones were a mess. I was sick of always being exhausted, stressed out, anxious…PMS-ing half the month. I wanted to lose weight and my usual diet and exercise clearly wasn't working for me anymore! All I can say is, wow. The difference already is crazy. If only I had done this sooner. For the first time I really understand my body and I'm giving it what it needs. I feel lighter, brighter and happier than I've felt in ages. And Harriet's approach is so practical and so warm and supportive, she really goes above and beyond. I've just booked another package as I now realise what's possible. I am shouting about her to all my peri-menopausal friends!
Rachelle Horton
Following the birth of two children and several years of feeling pretty depleted, emotionally and physically, I contacted Harriet to see if she could assist me with the plethora of health concerns I had and how/ where to even begin to start to feel better! Harriet was very professional yet open, kind and welcoming and most importantly very reassuring that she would be able to help me. The programme from start to finish was clear, informative and detailed. Harriet immediately put me at ease, answering any questions that I had. I wanted to particularly address my hormonal concerns and Harriet was able to suggest the correct testing for me and guide me through the process. Harriet’s knowledge and passion were clear throughout and made me feel like I was truly being heard and supported. Since my consultation and subsequent testing/ treatment programme, I am pleased to say I am feeling the best I have felt in a very long time. I cannot recommend Harriet and the services at Illumineat highly enough and would encourage anyone to make that first step in changing their health for the better too.
Rachel
Working with Harriet has been a fantastic experience. She's a true professional and her thoughtful, supportive and non-judgmental manner have made me feel listened to and understood every step of the way. She has come up with a bespoke strategy leaving me feeling confident about optimising my diet and lifestyle to improve my periods, bloating and painful digestive symptoms. I feel SO much better and wish I’d done this years ago
Emily
I contacted Harriet because [...] my periods and migraines were affecting my daily life. After a thorough examination, Harriet created a treatment plan that included a number of lifestyle and dietary changes as well as vitamin supplements. She made it very simple and [...] as minimally overwhelming as possible. The changes Harriet suggested have proved to be very sustainable and I haven't had a migraine since! Harriet was very supportive and open, which made it easy to not feel ashamed when I struggled to stick to a routine from time to time. I am very grateful for all the support, advice and guidance Harriet has given me throughout my journey.

Your expertise as a nutritionist truly made a positive impact on my health and well-being during this crucial time of my first pregnancy. Your thoughtful advice and personalised recommendations not only helped me navigate the challenges of pregnancy but also ensured the best possible start for my baby's development. I'll always cherish the knowledge and insights you shared, which have not only benefited me but will continue to benefit my growing family.
Rosie
I hate diets! Harriet has provided me with an alternative solution to help me feel better and I have lost weight by eating right for my body and finding an approach to fitness that works for me and my busy work and family life. The knowledge and skills that Harriet has and her passion to optimise your health and body is addictive, and has completely changed my life for the better. I now recommend her to all my family and friends.
