MY JOURNEY

My journey started as a chef – I took my first course in Nutritional cookery at C.I.A New York State in 1996 and thereafter my passion and appreciation for optimum nutrition grew. During 10 years cooking for discerning clientele I focused on nutritionally well balanced menus. After having 2 children I then had the opportunity to study and I qualified as a Clinical Nutritionist in 2008 and founded Vital Nutrition. My quest for more knowledge and insight lead me to embarking on a 3 year course in the UK at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I have graduated as a British Registered Nutritional therapist.

I have been working with individual clients – men, women and children that present with diagnosed or symptoms of conditions including IBS, digestive problems, candida, under-active thyroid, diabetes type 2, cardiovascular problems, skin conditions, anxiety & depression. I continually support and inspire people with weight management, energy boosting, wellness and sports performance.

My journey continues to evolve as I am currently retraining in Cancer Nutrition (Systems Approach to Cancer) to deepen my expertise in this specialized field. For over a decade, I have been the nutritionist for Cancer Support Mallorca, a local charity, where I assist cancer patients throughout their treatment and empower them with knowledge and self-care strategies for their recovery.

I provide clients with practical, achievable, and science-backed nutritional guidance, steering clear of fad diets with unrealistic expectations. My approach includes assessing lifestyle factors such as stress levels and work-life balance, offering simple yet effective strategies to help clients achieve optimal health.

However, I soon realised that many of my clients needed more than just nutritional advice – they required deeper mental health support to achieve lasting breakthroughs. In 2023, I trained as a level 4 counsellor, expanding my services to now provide a more holistic approach to healing and self-care.

Having suffered with psoriasis for close to 20 years, I have seen many specialist doctors about my condition. Not one has looked into my diet as a cause so I was sceptical when I initially went to see Suzanne Garaty at Vital Nutrition. We methodically went through my diet and general health and pin pointed areas that could be improved. Suzanne suggested I take gluten and dairy out of my diet to begin with and use a coconut butter/oil as a moisturiser. I am in a fortunate situation of being cooked for at work which has made it possible to adjust my diet. The first two weeks weren't easy, which I looked at as my body flushing out the toxins, however, results soon started to show. I am by no means cured but my condition has never been so manageable. I cannot thank you enough.

Dear Krista and all at Cancer Support, Thank you for giving me the opportunity for a personal consultation with Suzanne Garaty from Vital Nutrition. It was really good to be given a suggested food plan tailored for my needs since recently completing chemotherapy, which included places to purchase the items on the island. Suzanne was very thorough, having researched my medications prior to our meeting so she could offer sound advice based on this knowledge. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes she provided and realizing the health benefits from making some changes to my diet.Kind Regards

There is so much conflicting information around about nutrition and what constitutes a balanced diet that it can be confusing to try and make real productive changes without guidance. I found Suzanne to be knowledgable and eager to help me achieve my goals. Not only was Suzanne able to help me work through the information and sift out fact from fiction, but she has helped to tailor an eating plan that suited me as an individual and my goals. Since beginning work with Suzanne I have not only lost 5 kg but I have also increased my energy levels - which is great especially since I have just completed my first marathon! Suzanne also introduced me to new foods and ways of cooking that I now use in my everyday life and treat my family to. I found Suzanne to be approachable, knowledgeable and very supportive. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to make changes to their lifestyle.
