About Festival Nutrition

Accessible, community-led wellness support helping people in Basingstoke and across Hampshire build healthier, more confident lives.

Our Story

Festival Nutrition was created to bring accessible, practical wellness support to the Basingstoke community — inspired by my own journey through health, caregiving, and lifestyle change.

After years supporting my mum through diabetes and other complex conditions, I saw first-hand how habits, mindset, stress management, and daily routines shape long-term health.

In 2024, I was diagnosed with diabetes, with an HbA1c of 60. Instead of relying solely on medication, I focused on sustainable weight loss through calorie awareness, energy balance, and consistent habit formation. By improving portion sizes, managing cravings, and introducing mindful eating, intermittent fasting, and exercise for weight loss, I rebuilt my health step by step.

With accountability, goal setting, and consistency — even through motivation dips and weight loss plateaus — my HbA1c reduced to 39 by January 2026, returning to a healthy range without medication.

Festival Nutrition was built on that transformation.

Our mission is to help 10,000 people across Hampshire achieve healthy weight loss, fat loss, and lasting confidence through simple, sustainable habits — supporting behaviour change, improving metabolic health, and creating routines that work for real life.

My professional background supports this mission. I have over 30 years of experience in youth and community work, 15+ years as a dance fitness instructor, and I am a qualified hypnotherapist and NLP coach, helping people shift mindset, break patterns and build positive routines.

I launched the Nutrition Club because the nearest similar space was in Newbury, around 20 miles away. I wanted something local — something my neighbours could actually reach. Today, I run the club with my daughters, creating a warm, family-led community where everyone is welcome.

At Festival Nutrition, we believe in community support, accountability and consistent encouragement. Whether your goals involve lifestyle change, weight management, better energy or confidence, we’re here to guide you with personalised coaching, free body scans and a friendly environment.

Healthy change is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone.

This was such a helpful experience. In a short period of time I learnt so much about how my body responds to food and it's ability to gain muscle mass, lose inches and hydrate better.

Amanda is so patient, accommodating and really tailors the programme to fit your real life; not an approximation of how you're life is. It has made the thought of losing more weight and doing more exercise so much more accessible.

I highly recommend anyone looking to achieve a healthier lifestyle,  especially with specific goals in mind to get in touch with Festival Nutrition. Amanda is a total encourager; body, mind and soul.

I started attending Festival Nutrition to help with my weight issues, and although I felt nervous at first, those feelings quickly disappeared. I found it to be a safe, welcoming, and supportive community where I can lose weight at a pace that truly suits me.
The members are incredibly friendly and uplifting, always happy to share tips and encourage one another—especially on days when results don’t feel so great. It genuinely feels like a community where everyone supports each other.
The coaches are amazing. They share engaging stories, offer real guidance, and provide not just a service but genuine friendships that motivate and encourage us to achieve our goals.
I’m continuing to make positive, lasting changes to my mindset, and these are really supporting me in reaching my weight goals. Thank you, Festival Nutrition, for the guidance, support, and encouragement.
I can’t wait for the holidays to be over so we can get back to enjoying breakfasts together! 💛

My child struggled with eczema which grew from her joints to her face, which had a huge impact on their confidence, especially at school. It was upsetting to see how much it affected their emotional wellbeing as well as their skin.
Since using Festival Nutritions Herbal Aloe Hand & Body Wash, Aloe Soothing Gel, and Aloe Everyday Soothing Hand & Body Lotion, we’ve seen a noticeable improvement. Her skin is calmer, less inflamed, and she is feeling more confident again.
We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend these products to anyone supporting a young person with eczema.
