IN CONVERSATION WITH

LUCINDA

MILLER

LAURA DEAN (DH 2009)

LUCY BARRIE (LOWER SIXTH)

Continuing with our virtual live events, we were delighted to welcome Alumna Lucinda Miller (Tremlett DH 1988), in February of this year to talk to our current pupils, staff, alumnae and parents about her career as a Naturopath. Our Head Senior Lucy Barrie (LVI) and her sister Laura Dean (DH 2009) led the interview and did a superb job masterminding a really insightful conversation. Lucinda shared with us her journey since leaving Downe House and the steps she took to setting up a very busy naturopathic practice and a hugely successful online shop. She has a passion for paediatric nutrition from the functional medicine approach and has written a nutrition bible and cookbook The Good Stuff which was published by Short Books in 2018.

“It was wonderful to connect with so many Downe House girls who have made the link that the right food choices can help both short- and long-term physical and mental health.” LUCINDA MILLER (TREMLETT DH 1988)

“I just wanted to write and thank you for a great evening with Lucinda Miller. Laura and Lucy did a wonderful job hosting the evening – what a great advertisement for Downe House. Lovely to listen to and see them all so passionate about such an important topic. I have benefited from Lucinda’s advice in the past and it is always fascinating to hear more from her and so I was really grateful to be able to ‘tune in to’ this evening and hear more about her career path as well as another quick lesson on the gut microbiome as well! All so interesting. Thank you for putting on the event. It was great also seeing past and present DH girls learning from one another. What an important job you do in facilitating that – thank you.” Mrs Annabel Karoly (Current Parent)
