Lucy Kay
As a nutritional therapist, hypnobirthing teacher and mum of three, Lucy's joy comes from working with people and helping them to achieve their goals - whether it’s optimal health, a positive birth experience or just getting the most they can out of life.
Lucy believes the human body is clever and knows how to keep you healthy – from childbirth to every day life. However, many factors can influence your body and how it works such as diet, lifestyle, stress, anxiety and the environment. There are many ways we can bring these things back into balance and give our bodies the coping mechanisms needed to navigate the complex world we live in.
Her style is very personal, non-judgemental and understanding. She knows how hard it can be to follow a healthy diet when the food environment around us is determined to sabotage even our best efforts. She is also aware of how confusing it can be with so much conflicting advice and information around us. She'll help you cut through all the noise and find what works for you, offering as much support, advice and inspiration that she can along the way.

Richard Winspear
Richard has been birdwatching in and around Melbourne for as long as he can remember; initially walking up the brook from his childhood home towards what is now Whistlewood Common, before cycling around the local reservoirs and gravel pits as a teenager. He studied Ecology at Leeds University and went on to work at the RSPB, largely working on farmland birds and is now Agricultural Advice Manager at the RSPB. However, he is still a birdwatcher at heart.
During the Lockdown of 2020, he was back at home looking after his dad and regained his childhood interest in the wider natural history in and around Melbourne and has seen over 1,000 species of plants, animals and fungi within 10 miles of Melbourne, including 11 species of orchid, 33 species of mammals and over 200 species of birds. South Derbyshire and the Trent Valley is a very special area for wildlife, which Richard loves to show people.
