I am Jenny Oakenfull, a qualified Nutritionist, Dru Yoga Teacher, Dru Kids and Teens Teacher, a baby yoga teacher and former international sportswoman with a positive and healthy outlook on life. I have always lived an active and healthy lifestyle.
Having been forced to stop competing due to injury, I found myself living the same kind of busy, stressful, everyday life as everyone else, and trying to fit a healthy nutritious diet around a busy lifestyle. When my health began to suffer and I was diagnosed with ME in 2006, I used food to help me to improve my health and energy levels.
I realised how much I had to offer others and decided to train as a Nutritional Therapist. Keen to continue to do some form of physical activity I started attending a weekly yoga class. I quickly discovered the fantastic benefits of yoga in improving energy levels and helping to manage my stress levels and went on to qualify as a Dru Yoga Teacher.
I am now passionate about working with people, to help them build their confidence and change their relationship with food and exercise. I set up Active-Eat to help people to look at their food intake and lifestyles, to help them enhance their lives by fitting healthy nutritious eating and exercise around their everyday life. By looking at what you eat, when you eat and how you eat we will explore healthy alternatives to increase energy, improve your health and help you to lose any excess weight.
