Amelia Freer
Lime Wood’s Wellbeing Expert
At Lime Wood and Herb House, we want to provide the space and opportunity for our guests to really nurture their well-being and feel their absolute best.
To help us achieve this, we have teamed up with Nutritional Therapist Amelia Freer to introduce her nutritional guidance throughout our services so that those looking to support and enhance their well-being have access to the most nourishing options.
Amelia believes that food can be a very powerful tool for well-being and her purpose is to help others to enjoy the many benefits of nutritious food – food that is accessible, easy to make, that bursts with goodness as well as flavour. She takes a scientific and holistic approach and is vehemently against fad diets and exaggerated food marketing hype. Also a three times best selling author, Amelia has successfully helped thousands of clients to lead happier, healthier lives through nutrition and lifestyle measures.
"There is definitely no such thing as the perfect diet – we are all utterly unique; with different genetics, microbiomes, environment, cultural influences and preferences. What works for one person will be wrong for the next. However, I do think that the fundamental principles of healthy eating are common amongst us all, and so I have created guidelines for Lime Wood and Herb House that provide a basis for a healthy lifestyle and focusing on nutrient dense foods that deliver the building blocks needed to support their health."
You will find Amelia’s influence throughout Lime Wood and Herb House, from well balanced ‘Amelia inspired’ dishes on the menu in Hartnett Holder & Co and Raw & Cured, to carefully selected goodies in our Room Larders and Curated by Lime Wood, as well as a series of well-being workshops, cookery classes and events hosted by Amelia.

The power of food is Amelia’s passion!
Amelia’s purpose is to help others to enjoy the benefits of nutritious food – food that is accessible, easy to make, that bursts with goodness as well as flavour.
Amelia discovered nutritional therapy when seeking solutions for her own health. She was impressed and captivated by just how positive and powerful making changes to her diet were which led to her taking extensive training in the 
field of Nutritional Therapy, firstly, at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in Richmond where she completed a 4 year Diploma in Nutritional Therapy, graduating in 2007. She has furthered her education with leading professional bodies including the Institute for Functional Medicine and continues to seek out ongoing professional development and hands on experience.
Amelia takes a scientific and holistic approach and is vehemently against fad diets and exaggerated food marketing hype. Her guidance is not limited to a one size fits all theory, nor is it about restriction or perfection. Instead, she aims to educate and empower people to make healthier choices in a sensible, consistent way that is beneficial for them whilst still enjoying one of life’s greatest pleasures – eating great food!
“I think when you have experienced first-hand what a difference good nutrition can make to how you look, how you feel, how you sleep, how much energy you have and your overall health, it is hard not to also develop a passion for it. And that passion naturally went on to become my career. Since making changes to my own eating habits, I feel empowered not restricted - I think I enjoy food now more than ever”.
Amelia has worked with thousands of clients, helping them to achieve and support optimal health with evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle guidance. She has been credited for helping a host of well-known clients such as Sam Smith, Victoria Beckham, Boy George and James Corden and is now considered one of the UK’s leading voices on the benefits of nutrition and lifestyle therapies.
YOU SAY IT BEST
'I really couldn’t recommend Amelia’s workshop highly enough – it was a hugely informative, enjoyable day – I’d even go so far as to say life-changing (as I have indeed made many changes since the day). From the room we were in that allowed us outdoor breaks, the water bar with the delicious green smoothies, the most amazing lunch that we were able to enjoy on the lawn, the tour of the greenhouse to the take-home goodie bags. And then when I thought it couldn’t get any better – such a great yoga session. It was a perfect day.'
'Amelia’s workshop day was brilliant - thoroughly enjoyed learning more and exploring your beautiful grounds and surroundings'
'The workshop was outstanding and we have gained so much from it – the structure and setting was perfect too. Couldn’t be happier.'
'Thoroughly enjoyed the day and I feel completely spurred on with healthy eating and mindfulness'
'Amelia is such a lovely person and so authentic and this makes her advice and ideas very powerful'
'I learnt a lot and have taken away a good positive and more knowledgeable understanding of the importance of a properly balanced diet '
