I cannot think Virginia enough for her guidance over the past few months. She is an incredible advocate for health and well-being, and her support has been transformative for me. For several years, I struggled with my health and never felt like myself, despite numerous GP visits. Virginia’s compassionate approach and genuine desire to help have been invaluable. She has helped me deeply understand my body and various conditions in a completely non-judgmental way. Her knowledge of the human body and the factors that correlate with overall health is extensive. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and supportive health advocate. She really tries to get to the root of the problem instead of a quick fix. Worth mentioning that her service is Incredible value for money given the time and care given.

Virginia Ziulu è una professionista molto preparata, attenta ed empatica. Ha realizzato un piano alimentare cucito sulle mie esigenze e mi ha aiutato a risolvere i problemi di intolleranza all’istamina che il precedente protocollo nutrizionale mi aveva creato. La consiglio vivamente, soprattutto a chi, soffrendo di Lipedema, desidera comprendere meglio come gestire la malattia.

I contacted Virginia to tell with my mother's health as we felt we wasn't been listened to by her own GP. Very quickly Virginia figured out she had type 2 diabetes. Virginia meet with my mother and looked at her usual food intake on a daily basis. She carefully reviewed this information to see what changes could be made and provided her with a more suitable food programme. I highly recommend Virginia to anyone who is looking to improve their health and lifestyle.

Virginia was incredibly supportive and made the whole experience feel manageable and encouraging. She created a nutritional plan that truly suited both me and my family, which made it much easier to commit to the changes. I especially appreciated the level of detail she provided, even guiding me on which aisles to find ingredients in, which took a lot of stress out of shopping and meal prep. Her approach felt practical, thoughtful, and tailored to real life, and it’s helped me feel more confident about building a healthier lifestyle.

My sessions with Virginia exceeded my expectations. Not only did she create and tweak a personalised nutrition plan to address my Lipoedema inflammation, while ensuring it was vegan friendly and suitable for breastfeeding, she also helped with lifestyle changes and motivation which gave me a lifestyle overhaul that has been an incredible change. I’m very grateful for all of her insights and advice!
