Nutritional Assessment
At Westbourne Medical Studios, we believe that food is a powerful tool for healing and long-term wellbeing. Our comprehensive nutritional assessments are designed to help you understand how your diet impacts your overall health, with a particular focus on gut microbiome balance, inflammation, energy, and immune function.
Led by our experienced team, we explore your dietary habits, health goals, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. From this, we create a personalised plan that supports both acute health concerns and your long-term wellness journey. We also offer educational workshops, including sessions on food fermentation, to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to take control of your nutrition.
Whether you're managing a chronic condition or simply looking to feel your best, our holistic, evidence-informed approach provides the insight and support you need to thrive—from the inside out.

Marie Dandie
BA (Food & Nutrition) Dip NT; mBANT; rCNHC
Nutrition Consultant
A warm welcome from me as I invite you to discover the true power of food in transforming your health and wellbeing. I’ve spent my entire professional life immersed in food science and nutrition, beginning with my degree from Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh, over 40 years ago. After completing a postgraduate teaching qualification, I enjoyed a rewarding career in education, becoming a Principal Teacher of Food & Nutrition and contributing to national curriculum development and examination standards.
My passion for the impact of nutrition on health led me to retrain, and in 2015 I qualified as a registered Nutritional Therapist from the College of Naturopathic Medicine. For eight years, I combined consultancy with teaching before fully transitioning into practice in June 2023—an exciting decision that brought me to Westbourne Medical Studios. I am also an associate member of the Royal Society of Medicine, which allows me to stay updated with the latest research and ensure that the support I offer is grounded in current, evidence-based knowledge.
In my practice, I support clients with a wide range of health and lifestyle concerns. Every plan I create is tailored to the individual—taking into account your current health, goals, lifestyle, and food preferences—to ensure it’s effective, achievable, and above all, enjoyable. I aim to demystify nutrition and help you navigate a confusing food landscape with confidence.
I have additional training in cancer support nutrition, nutrigenomics, and health and wellbeing coaching. I also offer specialised support for digestive health, hormonal balance, autoimmune conditions, pre-diabetic and type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal and bone health, and all stages of women’s reproductive health. I work closely with clients undergoing natural and IVF fertility journeys, supporting both partners to optimise egg and sperm quality through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle interventions. As a certified fertility nutrition practitioner, I provide tailored programmes that support conception, pregnancy, and postnatal recovery.
Above all, I’m passionate about helping people use food to live more vibrantly. I look forward to working with you—sharing mindful eating strategies and empowering you to make nourishing choices that support your health goals, wellbeing, and any diagnosed medical conditions.

Karen Scobie
Nutritional Consultant
Over the past 12 years, I’ve built a successful nutritional consultancy practice, helping clients across the UK improve their health, wellbeing, and lifestyle through informed, sustainable choices. As a Nutritional Therapist, I’m passionate about food and firmly believe that healthy eating—done sensibly and realistically—can support a long, happy life.
Before retraining, my earlier career saw me sharing keep-fit advice on breakfast television and contributing regularly on nutrition and health for BBC Radio Scotland. While raising my two children (now in their twenties), I followed my passion for nutrition, eventually qualifying and combining my knowledge with other holistic disciplines. I’m also a qualified Macrobiotic Health Coach, Plant-Based Chef, and Seasonal Yoga Instructor.
One of the highlights of my career has been co-creating Be Lean Eat Green Nutrition, a plant-based nutrition course I developed with Dr Jane Jamieson. Originally designed for the fitness industry, it’s grown into a comprehensive and honest course that’s now used as CPD by therapists, yoga teachers, gym owners, personal trainers, and aspiring nutritionists alike. It’s accessible, practical, and a brilliant introduction for anyone curious about nutrition.
I love sharing what I’ve learned and believe strongly in passing on knowledge in a way that’s empowering and down to earth. Whether I’m lecturing, running workshops, or working one-to-one, my goal is always to help people make food and lifestyle choices that work for them—supporting real-life balance, not unrealistic perfection.
I’m delighted to be part of the team at Westbourne Medical Studios and look forward to supporting you on your health journey.
