Bebe Kohlap

Practice Manager

Bebe entered into nutrition quite unexpectedly when she went to an open day at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, just to find out what they did and, to her surprise, left enrolled on a 3 year diploma course.

Following the course she became a tutor and also ran a branch of the Optimum Nutrition Company, which sold various companies’ supplements to students and patients of nutritionists. She then went on to work for one of the UK’s leading health writers, managing his events and website. She joins the clinic team as the Practice Manager.
