The Nourish Academy

A 12-week small group coaching experience to help professional women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, feel energised, reclaim their self confidence & lose weight sustainably without rules or restriction.

A message from Dr Aileen

Is there more to weight loss than counting calories, discipline and restriction?

My job is to help women live healthier, happier, less stressed, more confident and energised lives. That way the weight comes off as a byproduct.

If I had to guess…

🙈 You’ve tried every diet under the sun, but they’re restrictive, and you find yourself blaming your lack of willpower for those sneaky late-night snacks leading to short-lived results.

🙈 You’re feeling totally confused. As if you didn’t already have enough to think about, the conflicting dietary advice available today has your head in a spin!

🙈 You’re obsessed with food, and after years of dieting, you’re not sure what to eat anymore. You find yourself thinking about food 24/7, feeling guilty after a chocolate bar or worrying about a meal out. You know it has to stop.

🙈 You blame yourself. You’re a high achiever and have high standards, and you can’t quite understand why you struggle with consistency when it comes to your health.

🙈 This is more than just weight loss. It’s about becoming the healthiest, most confident & most energetic version of you. You crave feeling fit and healthy, you’re ready to live your best life and reclaim your self-confidence.

BUT THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT.

The truth is, traditional diets focus so strongly on food that they forget about the other aspects of health such as stress, sleep, energy, mood and relationships.

You’ve probably already realised that these restrictive approaches are not healthy or sustainable, but you’re maybe feeling confused about how else you should approach weight loss?

What if, instead of obsessing over calories, food and what to eat, you focused on health and longevity instead?

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 enrolled in postgraduate diplomas & courses in stress management, sleep optimisation, nutrition, exercise and health psychology to learn more.

I had studied for 10 years to become an NHS General Practitioner, BUT I was fed up handing out pills.

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

So I hung up my stethoscope for good!

I took the leap to follow my passion and help women beat fatigue, manage stress, eliminate comfort eating and lose weight sustainably without restrictive dieting, relying on willpower or falling back into old habits.

I was privileged enough to perform a TEDx talk in 2022 to share this exact story.

The diet industry has been feeding you a lie…

Women today are realising that health isn’t how much we weigh or how we look

Health isn’t meal replacement shakes, meticulously counting calories or 5am workouts 7 days a week.

🦋 Health is about sustainability, energy, and meals out with friends. 

🦋 Health is about balance and still enjoying a chocolate bar or a glass of wine!

🦋 Health is about longevity, confidence and feeling good inside and out.

The problem is traditional diets, and strict plans don’t consider your lifestyle, your stresses and the demands of daily living.

They’re idealistic, unrealistic and superficial. 
Nobody can maintain that level of perfectionism in the long run.

The truth is, it isn’t you who is at fault. 

The Obstacle is the Way book on a table

So let me ask you

how would it feel to free yourself from the shackles of restrictive dieting?

So you no longer have to…

🚫 Obsess over food, worrying about what to eat when to eat or how much to eat every single day in an effort to be “good”.

🚫 Hide away from photos, mirrors and shop windows because you’re embarrassed by your reflection.

🚫 Feel exhausted 24/7 and end up comfort eating in the evening as a way to unwind after yet another long and stressful day at work.

🚫 Blame yourself for your failed weight loss attempts thinking you just need more discipline or willpower.

And instead…

🌸 Look forward to meals out knowing and navigate them with ease or guilt (and yes, you can still have a wine or 2!)

🌸 Feel comfortable in your own skin and feel confident getting dressed as you see your reflection in the mirror.

🌸 Feel refreshed and energised when you wake in the morning after a full night's restorative sleep, ready to take on whatever the day has in store.

🌸 Feel proud of yourself for finally putting your health first and finding a balanced and sustainable approach to weight loss.

And instead, to be fully supported on 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?

Over the last 6+ years I’ve found that women who come to me for help typically fall into 1 of 3 categories…

And I’m willing to bet you can probably resonate…

  • Calorie Counters

    These ladies still want to count calories and think they should do more exercise to burn calories.

    They’re fed up with the yoyo diet cycle but don’t know what else to do so they keep going back to the same diets because they worked before.

    They lose and regain the same weight again and again.

  • Sneaky Snackers

    These ladies are aware of the limitations of traditional diets yet still attempt to lose weight using traditional approaches, then find themselves snacking and falling off the bandwagon.

    They believe they need more willpower and self-discipline to stick to the plan.

  • Comfort Eaters

    These ladies are fully aware that they comfort eat when they are stressed, busy or tired.

    They’ve accepted that traditional diets don’t work long-term and understand there’s more to weight loss than counting calories or restricting their favourite foods.

    They want to put their health first and find balance. They’re ready for a sustainable lifestyle change

So if you’re ready to ditch restrictive diets for good and instead wake feeling refreshed, melt away your work stress and, feel in control of your health & well-being and lose weight sustainably.

Take a *DEEP BREATH* because I have something very special to share with you…

Introducing   

The Nourish Academy     

12-week intimate small-group coaching experience to help professional women heal their relationship with food, reclaim their energy, manage stress & lose weight in a healthy, realistic and sustainable way.

Using a science-backed, common-sense and holistic approach, I help you to identify and treat the root cause of your weight gain, fatigue and stress concerns without rules or restrictions so you can live a healthy, enjoyable and sustainable lifestyle.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Coaching calls giving you the opportunity to be fully supported by Dr Aileen and ask any questions that may arise and benefit from

✅ Video masterclasses teaching you how to eat intuitively instead of constantly ruminating about food or having to count, track or weigh every morsel of food.

Community support where we address all aspects of health such as sleep, stress and work-life balance so you can rebalance your hormones and feel fully energised.

✅ Meal plans that we build with you where chocolate, carbs and meals out can be enjoyed without guilt or fear of sabotaging your weight loss progress 

✅ Calorie calculations following the triphasic approach so you can easily lose weight without hunger pangs or hormonal imbalances.

✅ Curriculum to support you in learning about the science of nutrition, health, weight loss and human behaviour so you can debunk and finally shake the myths that have conditioned you to believe that this is your fault.

✅ Behaviour and value shifting so you can learn how to finally put yourself as an equal priority in a way that feels good so you can fully embody healthy habits welcoming them as part of your identity.

Here’s what our clients have to say…

Over the last 6+ 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, no cutting carbs, no 5am workouts or 10K steps a day

Just a simple, easy and enjoyable approach to help you melt stress, optimise your energy and shed those unwanted lbs.

I’m not going to teach you how to…

Starve yourself before a meal out to offset the extra calories.

Give you a cookie-cutter meal plan full of foods you hate just so you can lose weight.

Cut out carbs so you end up craving resulting in a full-blown binge.

Tell you to remove chocolate, crisps or alcohol from your diet making you crave them, even more.

Eat food separate from your family so your kids end up asking why Mum won’t try their homemade apple cake they made at school today.
Exercise to exhaustion so you have to drink 7 coffees at work because you’ve nothing left in the tank.

Instead…

You’ll have your own personal coach advising, supporting and guiding you every step of the way so you can make a long-term sustainable lifestyle change, ditch the diets for good, reclaim your confidence, maximise your energy and lose weight.

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

With The Nourish Academy, you’ll still be able to enjoy your favourite foods, and won’t have to count calories or feel hungry.

You’ll be able to exercise in a way you actually enjoy without any pressure to burn calories.

We’ll dive deeply into helping you manage your sleep and stress while optimising your energy levels.

Let me break it down and give you a behind-the-scenes look at my proven, science-backed framework.

In this 12-week intimate mastermind experience, I will personally guide you through my 3 pillar process.

Throughout this process, you’ll have personal access to me Monday - Friday for motivation, support and accountability. Or for any queries or questions.

You’re maybe wondering how all of this works?

  • Pillar 1: <br/>Diagnose & Reset

    Get to the root cause of exactly why previous “get healthy & lose weight” attempts have not worked long-term so you can stop blaming yourself and step away from quick-fix restrictive dieting approaches for good.

    Together we’ll build out your personalised health & well-being roadmap, introducing simple tweaks to help you make healthy food choices, sleep better and manage stress. The goal is to get healthier and feel good while losing weight.

  • Pillar 2: <br/> Sustainable Shifts & Habits

    I’ll teach you my 4 key nutritional shifts that will allow you to fast-track your weight loss and maximise your energy without restriction, guilt, hunger or having to count calories.

    Next, we dive into the 5 core habit pillars so you can make easy and consistent healthy choices to nourish your mind and body even if you’re short on time or under pressure at work.

  • Pillar 3: <br/> Lifelong Results

    Learn how to reprogram your mindset for results that last so that your healthy lifestyle becomes an unconscious part of your identity instead of relying on motivation.

    You’ll develop self-confidence and self-trust, knowing that you can rely on your habits & intuition with ease to make healthy decisions.

    The best part is knowing that you’ll never have to embark on a restrictive or fad diet ever again!

This is a streamlined strategy to help you to…

✅ Make small, sustainable and enjoyable changes that feel easy and effortless so you actually enjoy the process of getting fitter, healthier and having more energy while still losing weight.

Learn how to eat out easily, so no matter if you travel for work, have a client meal or a family celebration, you’ll be able to enjoy the occasion without missing out, sabotaging your weight loss progress or feeling guilty the next day.

Eliminate temptation and cravings for good and never again feel the internal battle of feeling restricted and having to say no. 

Free yourself from “good days and bad days” using a personalised and realistic approach that’s so enjoyable that willpower isn’t required.

Become the woman who makes healthy decisions intuitively, confidently and easily, making you a role model for so many other women and children.

Don’t just take my word for it. See what clients have to say…

Dr. Aileen in a grey sweater typing on her laptop

HeyI know you feel like you’ve “failed ” before.

Maybe even many times over many years.

You’re probably wondering “how is this any different?”

Maybe you don’t feel worthy of investing in the high level support you’re craving…

Maybe you’re thinking “but what if this doesn’t work?”

The truth is, it isn’t your fault.

Meal plans, quick-fix diets and cookie-cutter approaches don’t diagnose or treat the root cause of weight gain.

They’re not personalised making it almost impossible for you to make a long-term sustainable lifestyle change.

According to science, less than 20% of diets work long-term so it’s no wonder you’ve been struggling.

These restrictive, quick-fix approaches don’t address the bigger picture.

There isn’t enough support

& they don’t assess the individual before inviting them to enrol.

Dr. Aileen sitting happily on her couch

It isn’t you that’s at fault.

It’s that the diet wasn’t fit for purpose.

One of the keys to helping you make the internal shift is to help you to see yourself as worthy and part of that is 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?

✨ What changes at home?

✨ How does it benefit your relationships?

✨ If you have children, what changes for them?

✨ How do things shift in work?

You see it isn’t, and never is just about weight loss.

& you didn’t fail before because the diet wasn’t personalised to your and your unique life situation.

NOBODY can stick to a stick plan for the rest of their life! 

But I want you to know that the Nourish Academy 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 want a super clean approach to nutrition and think giving up chocolate is the best way to lose weight

➡️ 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 know how to get started but your lack of motivation, willpower or self-discipline doesn’t quite last.

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

🌟 You’re craving the support and guidance to make this a long-term and sustainable lifestyle change instead of another fad.

🌟 You’re done with restrictive diets and want to embrace eating out, enjoying a chocolate bar or even a glass of wine without feeling guilty.

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

If this resonates with you, then you’re going to love The Nourish Academy

I’m delighted to share that I have hundreds of happy clients who I still keep in touch with today!

What our clients say…

Meet your coach

Hi, I’m Dr Aileen, online women's health & well-being coach, TEDx speaker and former NHS GP. 

I have 6+ years of experience with helping women diagnose and treat the root cause of weight gain even when they’ve failed at others things before.

I’m also a human… I’m a wife and step mum of 2. I love magnum ice creams, dinners out and a nice bottle of Shiraz. 

I accidentally fell into the work I do now after nearly burning out and finding myself seeking comfort in tubs of Ben & Jerries as a Doctor.

Dr. Aileen slicing a an orange bell pepper

Fast forward 6 years

and I walked away from my medical career, built a successful business, and I was privileged to perform a TEDx talk to share my story and discoveries.

I absolutely love supporting women. There is nothing on this earth that is more rewarding than giving a woman her life back.

You see, it’s not just about weight loss. Actually, it’s never just about weight loss. Instead, it’s about self-confidence, balance, enjoyment and energy. 

I believe every woman deserves to live her best life.

How would your life change if you found the balance, reclaimed your self-confidence, and enjoyed every day to the fullest and had the energy to do anything you wanted to?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Nourish Academy has been specifically designed for professional women who want to get healthy, have more energy, improve their self-confidence, reduce stress and lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 1.5 hours per week. This is split into 3 x 30-minute blocks of time.

    Over the last 7+ years, Dr Aileen has refined the coaching process so closely to ensure your time is well spent.

    The supportive group calls, collaborative community and coaching curriculum mean you have multiple touch points and access to daily support if you want it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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 on Wednesdays at 6pm UK and some are held on Tuesdays at 7pm UK.

    All calls are recorded and available for replay for the duration of The Nourish Academy

  • Your application will be reviewed by Dr Aileen. If your application is accepted, you’ll be invited to book your complimentary Diet & Lifestyle Consultation by email. You can book this by clicking on the hyperlink in the email and booking into Dr Aileen’s calendar.

    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.

  • No, these calls are complimentary. The reason 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 coaching.

    Dr Aileen’s diary is limited, so if you can’t find a call time that suits you, please reach out by email to hello@doctoraileen.com, and we will endeavour to accommodate you.

  • 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.

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

The Nourish Academy will change your entire outlook on life.
