Rae Edwards BA(hons) MSc ANutr

Hi, I’m Rae of Sunshine & Wellness Nutrition. I am an Associate Registered Nutritionist, with the Association of Nutrition. I am passionate about food, nutrition and helping people to improve their physical and mental health and prevent ill health.  I have been working professionally to help people improve their health as a nutritionist since earning my Masters in Nutrition in 2021. I helped young people and parents learn to cook and improve their health prior to this for many years as a youth worker.

​

My area of interest, as going through the journey myself is menopause, supporting women to make changes through diet and lifestyle to improve and reduce symptoms such as hot flushes, weight gain, insomnia and anxiety. I support women with 1 to 1 coaching, group sessions, courses and talks to local groups. If you would like to talk about coaching, courses or talks, do Get in Touch or see my Services and Courses pages.

​

Having also had my own journey through obesity, anxiety and depression, before discovering health and nutrition. I enjoy helping clients with weight loss and mental health. I also work with clients for general health improvement, disease and dementia prevention, supporting, reversing, or preventing type II diabetes, lowering cholesterol levels, and PCOS.

​

I have always had a passion for food and have spent many years working in and around food, in restaurants, cafes, bakeries and as a chef. However, I began my journey into health, nutrition and wellbeing after having my son. Before this I had many unhealthy habits and feelings towards myself. I struggled with my mental health, confidence and my self-worth were defined by how I looked and what the scales said.

​

As a mum, I wanted to lead a healthy lifestyle and be a role model for my son. I worked on myself to implement healthy habits in eating and self-care. I improved physical health through the gym, kettlebells and running. I undertook a BSc in Psychology and complimented this with a MSc in Nutrition and Behaviour learning evidence based coaching techniques to help others improve in the right way for them.

​

I believe life is a journey and we should continue to grow and learn, I hope to pass on my knowledge to you as a client as others have to me. I hope to continue to learn by helping others. I don’t expect you to need my help forever but hope that we can work together to improve your journey.

​

As well as seeing clients 1 to 1, I teach Nutrition at East Sussex College Hastings with courses in Nutrition and Wellbeing, Nutrition for over 50s and Nutrition Through the Menopause.

​

I also run fitness classes for mums and provide simple healthy recipes with food to those undergoing food poverty for local charity Education Futures Trust. I have completed a Level 3 in Pre and Post-natal Exercise and Nutrition to further benefit this.
