The Simple + Healthy Method

The Simple + Healthy Method, created by Nutritional Therapist Stephanie Achar, is a personalised approach to wellness that helps clients reach their health goals without rigid rules or constant restriction.

The programme includes

Stephanie believes that optimal wellbeing is possible for everyone – her method is grounded not in deprivation, but in a classic French philosophy of balance, enjoyment, and the power of daily rituals. Depending on your individual needs, she may recommend functional testing for deeper insight, or suggest simple, science-backed nutritional and lifestyle changes that can lead to meaningful, lasting results.

It’s about working with your body, not against it, guided by evidence, experience, and a real understanding of what’s sustainable.

All packages with Simple + Healthy are bespoke to ensure the best results for you.

We may obtain sensitive information from other healthcare providers. The provision of this information is subject to you giving us your express consent. If we do not receive this consent from you, we will not be able to coordinate your healthcare with that provided by other providers which means the healthcare provided by us may be less effective.

We act as a data controller for use of your personal data to provide direct healthcare. We also act as a controller and processor in regard to the processing of your data from third parties such as testing companies and other healthcare providers. We act as a data controller and processor in regard to the processing of credit card and online payments.

We undertake at all times to protect your personal data, including any health and contact details, in a manner which is consistent with our duty of professional confidence and the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) concerning data protection. We will also take reasonable security measures to protect your personal data storage.

We may use your personal data where there is an overriding public interest in using the information e.g. in order to safeguard an individual, or to prevent a serious crime. Also where there is a legal requirement such as a formal court order. We may use your data for marketing purposes such as newsletters but this would be subject to you giving us your express consent.

We also ensure the information we hold is kept in secure locations, restrict access to information to authorised personnel only, protect personal and confidential information held on equipment such as laptops with encryption (which masks data so that unauthorised users cannot see or make sense of it). We ensure external data processors that support us are legally and contractually bound to operate and prove security arrangements are in place where data that could or does identify a person are processed.
