# Maria Bates Nutrition

Maria Bates is a Clinically Trained Registered Nutritional Therapist based in Tonbridge, Kent, offering personalised nutrition consultations both online and face-to-face. She specialises in gut health, women's health, and weight management, addressing specific conditions including food intolerances, IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, fatigue, cystitis, and weight concerns.

Maria's approach stands out through her philosophy that optimal gut health often unlocks broader wellbeing improvements. Rather than generic advice, she creates bespoke nutritional plans tailored to individual needs, grounded in the belief that food can be medicine. Her clinically trained background ensures evidence-based recommendations focused on lifestyle factors and their health impact.

She serves Tonbridge, Hildenborough, Sevenoaks, Edenbridge, Tunbridge Wells and surrounding areas, making her accessible to a wide local community. Her service model includes an initial free discovery call via Zoom, allowing potential clients to discuss their goals before committing to a programme. This personalised consultation approach ensures clients select the package most suited to their needs rather than being sold a one-size-fits-all solution.

Maria emphasises empowerment and control, encouraging clients to take active ownership of their health journey. Whether someone is struggling with chronic health issues or seeking preventative wellness optimisation, her evidence-based nutritional therapy provides a natural, food-focused alternative to conventional approaches.
