Hello there, nice to meet you!

I’m Selen, Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach. 

(Qualified Nutritionist and member of the UK Health Coaches Association). 

I’m the creator and founder of the Alka-Terranean Method™ which is my signature method that provides FAST, SUSTAINABLE, INTELLIGENT weight-loss without dieting! With side effects such as: improved gut health, increased energy, stronger immunity, better hair & skin ;)

If you’ve found yourself here, you’ll soon realize I’m just like you in many ways. 


I spent years in the ‘yo-yo dieting’ cycle, constantly trying to find ways to lose weight. I’ve gone from one diet to the next, losing weight then gaining it all back again… Sound Familiar? 🤔

 

It was during the early years of my professional career as a Computer Engineer in Digital Banking that these frustrations consumed me mentally, becoming an added stress to my life and career. 


After years of subjecting my body to fad diets and spending thousands on nutritionists, my health reached the breaking point. I began to suffer severe digestive problems and other health implications, and at the early age of 24, I had to undergo gastroscopy & colonoscopy procedures. 


This was the wake-up call I needed to finally stop obsessing so much about dieting to lose weight, and instead, start to look after my health first. The journey to reclaim my health would lead me to transform my lifestyle and change my eating habits. 


Through this process, I not only addressed my health concerns, but I discovered a nutrition and lifestyle method to achieve sustainable weight-loss. I lost 14kg in the first two months of following this method and never gained the weight back.



The signature method I discovered for sustainable weight-loss uses the principles of Alkaline Nutrition combined with a Mediterranean diet. I am from the Aegean Mediterranean Coast and understand the benefits of a Mediterranean lifestyle and approach to eating, so it was natural to incorporate these elements to make healthy eating achievable and accessible for everyone. I call this signature method, The Alka-Terranean Method™.💚


I went on to obtain numerous accreditations in nutrition to expand my knowledge as I became passionate about helping others experience the benefits of my method. The success through coaching others was so successful and so rewarding that I left my career as a Computer Engineer and became a full-time Nutrition Coach, based in London and coaching clients all over the world including the UK, Australia, the USA and Europe. 


With a background in banking as an Engineer, I am obsessed with numbers, data, and statistics. Tracking my clients’ progress and results closely is my way of providing the best guidance and support to keep them accountable and motivated throughout the process. Since 2015, I have coached over 5,000 people to achieve their weight-loss goals. The results have been so positive with all my clients losing between 4-12kgs in their first month. I am proud to report that 80% of my clients have reached their goals in less than 2 months and 70% feel confident in maintaining the new habits they have learned when working with me and sustaining their new healthy lifestyle.
