"I started working with Henrietta after having a lot of problems with my stomach and digestion. It was having a big negative impact on my pole vaulting career, as I was nervous to travel as I wasn’t sure what food I would have to eat in hotels, and my competitions were being massively affected. My weight was reducing as I was just finding most foods I ate were an irritant for me and I just couldn’t figure it out for myself. Losing lots of weight in pole vault is super detrimental to performance - I couldn’t train at the same intensity with my energy being so low and this was therefore having a big impact on my results in competition.
Henrietta pretty much changed my life, she was so invested in my problem and I felt really supported. We spoke on a regular basis and she really gave me confidence that we were going to sort this out, and we did! I learnt so much about myself and my body and got my love of food back again.
I can’t thank Henrietta enough for everything she has done to get me back on track, I now know what foods are the irritant and she taught me how easy it is to work around them. I have had hardly any flare ups and when I do have them I know why and what to do about it."
