Client Testimonials

Carolyn provided an exceptional and informative session for employees during an internal event at Northumbria Police. She discussed the benefits of eating a healthy and balanced diet, the impact of shift work and introducing lighter meals and snacks. I highly recommend her services to compliment corporate events.


Northumbria Police

When I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on Christmas Eve (yes, how hard is that) I really felt like that was the end of my life as I knew it. I spent the Christmas break googling away, joining different groups and reading articles which put me in a total spin. Then I found Carolyn @ Spooner Nutrition! After our first conversation I felt much better. Carolyn helped me to understand my diabetes and how I could get a better perspective on what I could eat including the quantities. She also helped me understand all that complicated label stuff. I would recommend Carolyn to anyone who wants to feel more confident about their Diabetes 

Carolyn helped me adjust my diet to manage sugar and carb intakes after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and a high bad cholesterol level. I booked phone sessions over about 6 weeks to review a food app diary that sent her reports of the food I was eating. She made recommendations for new foods I hadn’t previously tried or been keen on, which have now become part of my regular diet. Friendly, helpful and informative.

I got in touch with Carolyn when my GP said that my cholesterol was too high and wanted to put me on statins which I was reluctant to take. Through a very helpful an online meeting, follow up report and responses to supplemental questions I had Carolyn gave me comprehensive dietary advice & recommendations to reduce my cholesterol levels and dealt with all of my queries and concerns. I would highly recommend her services.

Carolyn is wonderful, I could not recommend her more. I found her 8 weeks after my daughter was born, I had gestational diabetes and my sugars were still quite high.  I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed at the thought of having to restrict my diet & manage diabetes (as it runs in my family) while trying to care for two young children. Carolyn was so calm and reassuring.  She helped me get a list of balanced simple meals (that suited my whole family) which I stuck on the fridge!  She also sent over a shopping list of must haves so I could get well stocked. Mostly what we were already eating, in slightly different proportions, so no huge changes.
