As part of the IINH Student Spotlight series, we will be visiting some of our alumni from both our Nutrition & Health Coaching and Nutritional Therapy courses to see what sparked their interest in nutrition, discuss their nutrition philosophies and find out what theyโve been up to since studying with IINH.
About Georgina Hartley
This is Georgina Hartley, an IINH Nutrition & Health Coaching graduate and the founder of HYGIEIA, a wellbeing movement built on one simple idea: come back to human. Inspired by her time working in a care community, Georgina helps people feel better through small, real-life changes to how they eat, move, rest and connect.
She works with clients one-to-one, online and in person, with a particular focus on midlife and menopause, ADHD, stress, and building healthy habits that last.

What inspired you to pursue a career in Nutrition & Health Coaching?
Working in a care community changed everything for me. I saw up close how much good food, independence and simple human connection shape our health and happiness, especially in later life. I wanted to help people much earlier, in a way that feels kind and doable rather than restrictive.
HOW HAS YOUR TRAINING INFLUENCED YOUR APPROACH TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS?
It taught me to listen first. Motivational interviewing and behaviour change coaching, alongside my counselling training, showed me that people already hold many of their own answers, and my role is to help them find them. Combined with a solid grounding in nutrition science, it means I never hand anyone a rigid plan. We work out together what fits their life, one small step at a time.
Whatโs been the most unexpected or exciting part of your journey so far?
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE THINKING ABOUT STUDYING WITH IINH?
Do it. The course is practical, warm and grounded in real science, and the coaching skills are just as valuable as the nutrition. You come out knowing not just what to say, but how to listen.
