End the dieting rollercoaster once and for all
Welcome to my website! I am a registered health coach, natural wellness practitioner, and nutritional chef who founded Saffron + Seed to help people—particularly women—achieve sustainable weight loss and improved overall wellness and confidence by overcoming nutritional overwhelm and confusion.
My approach combines theoretical nutritional coaching with practical lifestyle adjustments and culinary skills. Ultimately, my goal is to help my clients rebuild a positive relationship with food and their bodies, resulting in boosted confidence, renewed energy and relief from chronic symptoms like bloating or digestive issues.
I like to support my clients through several key methods:
Sustainable Weight Loss & Nutrition: I help my clients find realistic, long-term eating habits to shed weight without relying on punishing, short-term fad diets or food deprivation.
Reversing Emotional & Overeating Habits: I work with my clients to uncover and address the root causes of overeating and weight gain, such as stress, poor self-image, hormonal imbalances, or gut issues.
Supporting Practical Cooking & Meal Prep: As a therapeutic chef, I can bridge the gap between nutritional theory and real life by encouraging a renewed love for cooking nourishing foods for yourself (the ultimate form of self-care).
Holistic Lifestyle Coaching: My fully personalised 1-to-1 programmes also incorporate stress management, self-care practices, sleep improvement, and exercise patterns so clients do not feel overwhelmed.
Is dieting making things worse?
You need to know that low calorie, deprivation diets don’t work for weight loss, well they do for a short time, until your body decides makes you so ravenously hungry, feel deprived or lacking in energy that you can’t stick to it any longer. You end up feeling you must be weak willed or lazy and you beat yourself up for not being able to stick to the diet and keep off the weight you so desperately want to lose. Well I’d like you to know that you’re not weak or lacking in willpower! It’s actually biology and evolutionary survival that kicks in with restrictive dieting styles and that you have very little control or power over the metabolic process that results.
But there is another way! As a health and naturopathic nutrition coach, I can help you find a different, kinder way of eating that doesn’t upset your metabolism and gives you natural energy throughout the day. And you’ll be able to stick to it long enough to see you achieve your weight and health goals, and you won’t want to go back to old eating habits and behaviours that made you feel worse, not better. It’s about becoming a healthy weight naturally as unhealthy habits are addressed and resolved and you are able to shed stored fat stores.
It’s not just about the food
Of course, food and nutrition is just one piece of the healthy weight loss puzzle so together we will also look at areas such as management of stress and emotions (which can and do dictate our food choices and not for the better), as well as exercise and movement and sleep.
I’ve spent years and years studying, training in and researching natural health and nutrition, specifically for mood and healthy weight management, as well as stress management and habit change, and I’m very happy to be able to pass on that knowledge and experience to you. If you’re struggling with your health and are unhappy with your current weight and think you would benefit from having a coach to support you on your journey and keep you accountable (just like my client did below), why not book a free 30-minute session with me to see if we’re a good fit to work together?
““Over the last 12 weeks, your guidance has turned things around for me to achieve both weight loss and healthy eating. Before meeting you, I was in a wilderness of deteriorating mobility and uncontrollable weight gain. Breaking away from that was something that I thought was impossible! Thanks to you, I have lost a considerable amount of weight and am much fitter, with, more importantly, the confidence to sustain my healthy lifestyle. ”
Hi, I’m Hannah!
Hi, I’m Hannah Wyborn and I specialise in helping women just like you find a healthy and sustainable way of eating that nourishes their whole bodies, allows them to be in full control of their eating habits and that removes guilt and the need to go on a punishing diet. As a registered health coach and natural wellness practitioner, I work with you to engineer gradual nutrition and lifestyle changes that fit in with your busy lifestyle and I will support and hold your hand along your health journey. I also seek to address the underlying reasons why you overeat in the first place, whether it’s down to stress, a poor self-image, food choices or hormonal or gut imbalances.
Nutrition Packages
Mastering healthy habits is a necessary step to take control of your weight and health but it can take time and effort doing it on your own. Sometimes you need a helping hand and accountability partner to guide you through the difficult times and get through the road blocks. Support is at hand with my fully personalised 12 and 18-week packages.
Cooking Services
In addition to health + nutrition coaching for weight loss, I also offer a healthy cooking service, in people’s homes and for retreats. If you’ve decided to make eating healthily a priority but don’t have the time or energy (yet) to cook yourself or your family, I can shop, prepare and cook so you know you have healthy meals in the fridge or freezer prepped and ready to eat.
If you’ve been putting on weight sneakily and gradually over the years, it is most likely to be the time between mid-November and early January that is responsible for the weight gain. People put on average up to 2lbs in the run up and over Christmas and New Year, which doesn’t seem like a lot given the excesses over that time (we pack 44% more social occasions into December than any other month of the year) but of course this adds up over the years.
