I had an idyllic childhood, growing up in the city but spending most of my time outdoors in nature. I would make concoctions from petals and herbs, and spend hours observing and connecting with the small creatures around me. My mother taught me from an early age how to cook with the seasons, creating simple, nourishing, home-cooked food. We would even be taken to the seaside to convalesce, where rest, nature, and nourishment were part of everyday life.

In my early twenties, I experienced a blood clot in the brain. I was fortunate to make a full recovery, but it became a life-defining moment that deeply shifted my perspective. It brought a new awareness of my body, my lifestyle, and a stronger sense of intuition about how I was living and what I was placing into my system.

Following this experience, I moved away from studying politics and instead retrained as a spa therapist and facialist. I wanted to dedicate my work to helping people feel better in themselves and to make a positive difference in their everyday wellbeing.

After becoming a mother, I began to slow down and reflect more deeply on the pace of my life. My busy, fast-moving years in London had taken their toll, and I eventually began to experience an inflamed thyroid as a result of prolonged stress, overwork, and not enough rest or self-care. This became another important turning point, one that required me to pause, listen, and begin to rebuild a more supportive way of living.

During my recovery, I followed a long-held desire to study nutrition. I trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine for three years, gaining a diploma in Nutritional Therapy, and later completed a BSc in Nutritional Therapy at the Institute for Optimal Nutrition.

My studies became deeply personal. I began to work with my own body, supporting my thyroid, hormones, digestion, and nervous system through nutrition and lifestyle. In many ways, I became my own case study, learning firsthand how powerful it is to shift from pushing through life to living in rhythm, with more awareness, nourishment, and ease.

Nature has always been my anchor. I still find myself drawn to the same simplicity I knew as a child, visiting local farm shops, gathering seasonal ingredients, and returning to my kitchen to cook wholesome food for family and friends. Food, for me, is both grounding and expressive.

Outside of work, you’ll find me on my yoga mat, in nature, or immersed in a good book. I’m drawn to both the vibrancy of cities and the calm of the countryside, and I’ve learned over time that my nervous system thrives most when I am close to nature and living more slowly, in rhythm with the seasons.

I move through life in rhythm, retreating in winter, seeking the ocean in summer, and allowing each season to shape how I live, work, and feel.

Nature is my muse.

Social media is a great place to connect with others interested in nutrition and wellness. You will find me most active over on Instagram, Katie Jenson-Hull Nutrition, where I share nutrition and lifestyle for busy women.
