Bridgette qualified as a complementary therapist in December 1997. She also gained qualifications in nutrition and diet along with anatomy and physiology around the same time. She has been a full-time therapist for the last 20 years. She has a special interest in how the nervous system affects our behaviour, and how we can control it for better physical and mental health. It is a lifelong interest, stimulated by discoveries happening all the time now in the delicate link between mental processes and body systems and how they connect everything we think and feel.
She was a project manager for the HHT (Holistic Health Team) which was a 40 strong team of therapists, for over 5 years. This organisation facilitated therapies that were free at the point of delivery for those that received them. They worked extensively with government agencies, drug and alcohol services and healthcare charities. They also worked for a wide variety of corporate organisations and large institutions. This has given her a vast amount of experience working with, and alongside people from all walks of life.
She runs workshops all over the country teaching people how to gain control over their nervous system responses using a wide variety of techniques. These workshops centre mainly around resilience in the workplace, and have been delivered to a wide range of sectors from staff working at Hope Construction sites to Co op pharmacy staff.
She studied and qualified in hypnotherapy in 2006, and now works full-time as a hypnotherapist at The Park Hypnotherapy Centre, her clinic in Nottingham. Over the last 10 years she has developed a system for weight loss using a combination of therapies and nutritional guidance. She now works with private clients and groups helping them take back control of their own eating habits and re-gain their natural energy. These groups happen at the clinic and in-situ for organisations and groups around the East Midlands. She also runs 2 successful on-line groups for helping people with sugar addiction and those looking to lose weight.
She blogs as often as she can, and speaks to a variety of groups on the subjects of health, weight loss and nutrition; she also talks on the topic of hypnotherapy and its' benefits in mental and emotional well-being.
WOW!!! I actually dashed out to the shops straight after reading this to get some GOOD food stocked up! So clear and concise, written with skill and humour that is right on my wavelength. Bridgette has written sciency bits in, but in a way we all understand! I can't wait to literally be half the woman I currently am!

This book is quite revolutionary. It feels so personal as if Bridgette is speaking to you. I love the 7 step programme. Its simple and easy to follow. For years I have been struggling with my weight and now I have an effortless regime that works. I've lost 8lb in my first week after reading Break The Crave System and I don't feel like I am on a diet. How refreshing is that? Highly recommended reading that I just couldn't put down.

This is a deceptively easy read but the content is profound. It contains straight forward and relate able explanations as to why we crave sweets and carb heavy foods and what we can do to break free from the cycle of CRAVE. I particularly liked the way the book was written as a shared experience and have found it a great book to go back to time and again to re -read and understand the cycle of CRAVE that is happening in my body. Really recommend this book for its straight forward talking and heart felt content. If you are slap bang in the middle of CRAVING poor food choices, BUY IT NOW!

This book has completely changed my perception and relationship with food and most particularly sugar. I will never pick up a low fat product again, as they are loaded with sugar and artifical ingredients it's like eating plastic. Following the guidance in this easy to read and understand book (without dumbing down) has enabled me to lose weight easily without feeling deprived or hungry and has reprogrammed my body to ditch sugar and eat more healthy fats. A life changer

I have been studying nutrition for the last two years and thought I knew most of it, but have found this book has answered a lot of my questions on why we crave certain types of food. The nutritional information is sound and aligns perfectly with current research. A very well written book and a must read if you have any concerns about your health or weight.

I've tried every diet to lose weight but now realise they don't really get to the real issue. I have always had a sweet tooth but now know I'm a sugar addict.. easy to read and understand, it all makes sense. Highly recommended x

Bridgette eloquently explains where we are going wrong with our modern diets. How obesity is caused by sugar not fat consumption, and how to become a fat-burning machine.
She teaches us how to truly listen to our bodies and care for "her". Why that initial crave for sugar is because "survival is instinctual and immediate", and so self-control is an appalling basis for trying to lose weight. There's a simple acronym, SPECIAL, for what we need to do. So far it's lost me a couple of stone and like no other diet before I want to carry on as the foods are delicious and I feel great on it.
Written with great humour and love, this book has the power to stop you fighting your body and get into a productive partnership. It's not full of pretty pictures or eating plans or even many recipes, just the truth and how to work with it.

Thank you Bridgette for writing a book which is so easy to read and makes so much sense! As I was reading this I had several 'ahh that's why' moments, and the reasoning behind the way we think is fascinating. I will be using my book as a reference and popping back regularly until this becomes habit. If you've tried all the diets then you need to read this!

This arrived this afternoon and I have already read it cover to cover. It makes perfect sense and offers some very frank and honest advice. Written in a good tone and well worth a read. Obviously the results remain to be seen - the proof of the pudding is in the eating (or not!!)....

Brilliant read. I love the style of this book and feel that Bridgette is talking my language. We've all been there with diets that don't work or aren't sustainable. This is a way of eating that is for Life! Highly recommend. It has changed my attitude to food.

This book was so easy to read that when I started it I couldn't stop till I finished it! It is also designed to used as a personal reference book with plenty of space to make notes to help with your progress and feelings.
It is a great tool to help kick start a change in diet and lifestyle and really it sums up what I have personally thought about my eating for years! It's good to have something to back up what you really know deep down, especially if you've been struggling for years to get the right balance.
If you know you need to change your diet and lifestyle use this book as the starting point. It's written by someone who knows and understands and doesn't 'preach'

Having worked successfully with Bridgett previously and knowing she has dedicated so much time & research into the Break The Crave System, I am keen to read this book. I am sure if it only gives even 50% of her fabulous hints & tips, it will be truly amazing! The system works & as a fellow nutritional therapist, I know how bad carbs are for anyone!

From the perspective of a woman in her early 70's I've realised I've spent my whole life being a sugar addict! It all makes sense for me after reading this book. It's a breath of fresh air to read advice that will help me lose weight without ever being on a single diet ever again! P.S. I have a feeling that this therapy with be helping me with my anxiety too.

I’ve been struggling with diets all my life and since being in my 40’s my hormones have been ridiculous! my diet was more about damage control/limitation! The cravings would last a week and there was nothing I could do. That week I’d put weight on and then when my cravings stopped and I was in control I’d be able to lose the weight. A vicious circle!
This book is easy to read and understand it’s easy to follow, it makes sense and it works! I’ve been following this little book (my new bible) since I read it and my cravings have stopped, I’m losing weight, I’ve got more energy and I feel fantastic!
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to look good and feel good.

Wow, this book opened my eyes! I didn’t realise that I was a sugar addict, but there it is in black and white. Full of good information and it’s like sitting next to Bridgette whilst she talks to you. Written in a no nonsense way, it described me down to a ‘T’ even to eating the kids Easter eggs! There’s lots of help, and it’s nice to know I’m not alone. Thanks Bridgette, I don’t feel so guilty, and I’m fired up to tackle my addiction.

Thank Bridgette for a no-nonsense, easy to read and understand guide on shushing the CRAVE. I've just finished my first read through and will be going back over it again. Some great bonuses tucked inside too.
Anyone who has been snacking on the Christmas cheese board and nuts will love this.

I have long since know high protein is a good weight loss strategy, but the addition of data is so interesting. You have nothing to lose except excess weight - go on give it a go!

This book is amazing! Bridgette has written it in an easy to understand way and even the "sciency" bits are accessible.
It's reassuring to realise that you are not the only "sugar addict" in the world! But it is a sobering thought as sugar is all around us and resisting it is going to be an ongoing struggle. Fortunately this is where Bridgette steps in with her expertise, advice and support.
Buy this-read this-you won't regret it!!
