Hello! I'm Ione Rucquoi, a fully qualified and insured nutritional therapist based on Dartmoor in Devon.
Diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition, The College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM)
Since my teenage years I have always had a keen interest in food and nutrition, experimenting with new foods and flavours and exploring the healing qualities of whole foods.
The 'whole person' naturopathic approach to health lends itself to my inquisitive nature and interest in people and their stories.
I love to share ideas, empower and support people in achieving their health goals, allowing you to be more actively involved in your own health and healing.
Naturopathic nutrition
Naturopathic nutrition is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of good health. It uses a range of tools to assess and identify nutritional imbalances and other potential causes of symptoms. This information is used to develop a personalised plan including food, nutraceutical and lifestyle recommendations.
With this 'whole person health', multi-faceted approach including well structured dietary change, and the application of innovative laboratory testing, we can address a range of health concerns.
We are all unique individuals who do not thrive on one specific diet or lifestyle. My aim is to educate, empower and support you on your journey to optimum health.
Get in touch if you are struggling with health issues like these.
- Pain and inflammation
- Skin issues
- Gut issues (digestive discomfort, IBS type symptoms, bloating, constipation, cramping)

Clinics
In order to give you the best support and understand your health issues and goals I recommend we work together for a minimum of three sessions. This will enable us to get to the root cause of your symptoms and give us the time to implement the right changes for you. This will allow us time to review and assess test results, symptom changes and your overall progress.
In person - I work from my clinic at home and from the Dartmoor Acupuncture Clinic in Chagford where I can be found on Monday mornings and Thursdays.
Online - Since the pandemic, online consultations via Zoom have proved very successful, from the comfort of your own home and from wherever you are in the world.

Testimonials
I went to see Ione after suffering with low energy and feeling under pressure due to the stresses of home life and work. Ione helped me identify the areas of my diet and lifestyle that were contributing to my symptoms and suggested some key changes for me to implement. I found the suggestions were geared towards me and my situation and what would fit my lifestyle which was great. I have since made some changes as recommended and now have more energy and recognise the signs when I need to balance stress in my life and now have some key tools to help alleviate stress and balance my energy. I am walking more, getting outside in the day and prioritising sleep. I have added more healthy fats into my diet too and it has made such a difference. Even if I don't stick to things 100% I know when I need to add in some of these steps to achieve a better work-life balance. Now I recognise much can be done with small changes to my diet and lifestyle habits.
I first came to Ione after being recommended by a friend. I really struggled with fatigue and poor eating habits prior to coming to her. I have noticed such a massive difference since our appointments. She was super friendly, making me feel at ease straight away. The dietary, supplement and lifestyle changes she recommended made a massive change to how I felt. I now have more energy and am back to loving my early mornings. The joint pain I was having previously is now minimal allowing me to be a lot more active. I couldn't recommend her enough- a lovely lady, who is very knowledgeable!
