Personal Nutritionist to Global Women
Beanie Robinson’s journey with PCOS landed her at the altar of good nutrition and lifestyle behavior which she whole-heartedly embraced to emerge as a global authority in the field of women’s healthcare. Today, the dynamic Robinson helps women across the globe to alleviate their pain and achieve holistic wellness through her online platform – The Health Space.
Based in London, UK, Beanie developed an inclination towards nutrition ever since her childhood. Having a mum who was very interested in Natural Medicine (before it became cool), she was always open to new recipes and ways of exercising; from vegetable juicing to rebounding. But after her struggle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), she finally realized the power of nutrition in managing her symptoms.
Thus after completing her Bachelor’s in Liberal Studies from the University of Manchester in 2014, Beanie set out to gain a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy (2018); became a clinic supervisor-College of Naturopathic Medicine (2019-20); and a Vinyasa yoga and mindfulness meditation teacher. She also started conducting holistic nutrition and yoga retreats both in the UK and abroad, as well as corporate talks, workshops, and tutorials on stress, anxiety, and establishing a balanced diet and lifestyle.
Today, she is proud to practice nutrition in a truly holistic way – mind, body, and soul. However the journey wasn’t always easy. A big challenge for Beanie was how to get started and how to have the confidence to charge clients. “Beginning a new venture and suddenly not having a guaranteed monthly income is daunting. My parents have always worked for themselves and were therefore supportive and understanding of how lonely the journey can be. The multifaceted demands of entrepreneurship taught me resilience and adaptability, from developing meaningful client relationships to managing finances. While it has been tough, the rewards have been immeasurable, underscoring the importance of perseverance and a strong support system.”
Beanie accepts that while some sacrifices were necessary, viewing them as choices rather than losses fostered fulfillment in both personal and professional spheres. One of her proudest achievements was being recognised as the leading London-based Nutritionist with the highest number of 5-star Google reviews.
However, her true fulfillment stems from tangible improvements in her clients’ lives. Notably, facilitating the reversal of Type 2 Diabetes in an 83-year-old lady within a mere 12 weeks stands testimony to the transformative potential of holistic health approaches. Celebrating milestones such as clients achieving weight loss goals or experiencing symptom-free periods underscores the profound impact of Beanie’s work on enhancing their quality of life.
“I just love people and I love peoples’ stories and I think my biggest strength is being able to connect with people in a meaningful way. This has been hugely valuable as I work with adults of all ages, cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds. People often come to me vulnerable as they have a deeply personal health concern that is troubling them. It is essential that my non-judgemental listening skills set the stage for our conversation so that they feel heard, seen, and understood.”
Beanie aims to support people both physically and mentally. In addition to a Nutrition Plan, she considers lifestyle behaviors (sleep, environment, movement, purpose, etc.) to ensure a multi-pronged approach used to get the most profound transformation. Her areas of expertise include – Weight Loss, Natural Hormone Balancing (PCOS and Menopause), IBS and Gut related issues, and Type 2 Diabetes. And her primary clientele consists of women.
Recalling her own path, she says, “Overcoming self-doubt has been my primary challenge. Growing up in an environment where women’s career aspirations were undervalued instilled limiting beliefs. However, witnessing tangible successes in my clients’ transformations bolstered my confidence over time.”
A firm believer in the spirit of ‘sisterhood’, weekend mornings will find Beanie at Love Supreme Yoga Studio, accompanied by her sister or a friend. She also finds solace and rejuvenation in all things nature. “Whether it’s embarking on long walks, indulging in invigorating cold swims at Hampstead Ponds, or unwinding in a deliciously hot sauna, I cherish moments spent amidst greenery, away from screens. Super indulgent ‘me time’ is a deep tissue massage, followed by a long soaky bath infused with magnesium salts, essential oils, and relaxing music — a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.”
A woman emancipated by her own power, Beanie’s passion for helping others and improving their quality of life serve as her guiding light. Witnessing the transformative impact of nutrition on people’s lives fuels her drive to empower others to adopt sustainable positive dietary habits, free from FAD diet culture. Moreover, the joy of seeing The Health Space grow motivates her to push her boundaries and strive for excellence continuously.
