About

My Name is Nicky Dear.

Having experienced my own difficult journey through menopause and overcoming quite severe symptoms by changing my exercise and dietary habits. I am now passionate about teaching others how to change their lifestyle and nutrition to suit, this sometimes challenging transition and to live a healthy and active life as they age.

My Background –

I have been passionate about food from a young age, learning to cook at home with my Mum, my dad as well as my older sister and younger brother. I went on to do A level Home Economics and a BSC Honors Degree in Home Economics in 1989.

Nutrition & Lifestyle registered Health coach with 35 years of food industry experience including 25 years in Research and Development (R&D), developing food ingredients for meat & plant-based products, as well as a pioneer of plant-based food development over the past 10 years. I have spent many years working with teams of food professionals, mentoring and leading them to develop products for blue chip food companies as well as startups.

During my career I have gained a wealth of knowledge from travelling the world, working with chefs, food scientists and application specialists- learning about ingredients, their origins and the importance of starting with the best to develop food that tastes great and brings the very best nutrition.

I discovered a love of mentoring and coaching people and 2 years ago when working for a large corporate food company, I pitched to the executive team to raise the funds to lead out a Menopause awareness campaign and educate people about Lifestyle & Nutrition solutions for Menopause symptoms. Part of this included a European CPD accredited online education programme in partnership with ‘Balance’. I also completed a CPD accredited 12-week Menopause practitioners’ course with ‘My Menopause Transformation’ and began to coach my peers, prior to leaving the food industry to begin a new adventure in Health Coaching.

Whilst still in full time employment, I continued to increase my nutrition knowledge by studying with the British Nutrition foundation and going on to study for a diploma in advanced Nutrition and more recently a diploma to become a registered Health Coach with the College of Naturopathic medicine. I am currently studying to complete a Menopause weight loss course for Health Coaches.
