We all have a basic psychological need to look after our minds and bodies. This is one of the prime directives of our unconscious minds and mentioned in the list of basic needs identified by the Human Givens Institute

It stands to reason that we have evolved this as a psychological driver. If we were not intrinsically designed to look after ourselves then surely, as a race, we could not survive. This drive exists across the natural world, every living thing lives with the overall drive to survive physically and mentally (within its capacity to do so).

What is amazing is the extent to which we, as humans, appear to push against this need!

Emma Barrington has recently joined the team of therapists working at Vinings Natural Health Centre, bringing her years of experience in the fields of Nutrition and Dietetics. She offers what she calls a “no-nonsense, food-first approach to nutritional support” which starts from a base of diet and works through to overall lifestyle advice and coaching if required.

Over the years she has worked in areas as diverse as coronary care and stroke management; weight management; endocrinology; gastroenterology and mental health within the NHS. A highly-creative soul, Emma has also explored the role of performing arts in health management. Her approach is definitely holistic, looking at the whole body, at every level, to bring the individual back to balance and wellbeing.
