meet our partners

At i-thrive, we collaborate with professionals across various disciplines to enhance client outcomes through advanced, science-based diagnostics.

Our Model for Thriving

An evidence-based model built on the foundations of lifestyle medicine.

Our Partners are specialists in their fields and fully aligned with our coaching philosophy. Each one brings deep expertise in areas like Healthful Nutrition or Exercise & Movement, and contributes to the broader goals of your coaching plan.   

A key benefit of working with i-Thrive Partners is how coordinated your support will be. Each Partner understands your test results, baseline data, and personal objectives — meaning all advice is grounded in the same data and aligned with your long-term goals.   

Our coaching model reflects a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach, where each specialist contributes their expertise within a shared plan. Just like in high-performing healthcare or elite sport, this ensures everyone is working from the same information and pulling in the same direction.

Nicola (Niki) Method

Healthful Nutrition Partner

Hi, I’m Niki — a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and mum of three. I create personalised food and lifestyle plans to support individuals and families through all stages of life, from navigating menopause to optimising healthspan and longevity.

My approach goes beyond nutrition. I help you overcome the real-life barriers that stand between you and your goals, offering practical strategies and sustainable lifestyle changes. Whether you’re seeking one-off tailored advice or ongoing support, I adapt to what works best for you.

You’re in control — I’ll equip you with the knowledge and tools to make confident, lasting changes. My focus is on realistic, evidence-based nutrition guidance that fits your life and helps you build long-term habits. With experience supporting individuals and families of all ages, I provide flexible, compassionate care that meets you where you are — and grows with you.

Barnaby Rudd

Exercise & Movement Partner

I’m a strength & conditioning coach with a passion for endurance sports including triathlon, swimming, and running. I hold an MSc in Strength & Conditioning from St Mary’s University and am a Level 4 personal trainer, England Athletics Level 2 coach, and STA Level 2 open water coach.

I’ve been a competitive triathlete, swimmer, and runner for over 13 years, with achievements including the Norseman Extreme Triathlon, Lake Zurich Marathon Swim, and English Channel Relay. My coaching philosophy focuses on education, mindset, and consistency—empowering athletes to reflect, adapt, and perform through structured goal-setting.

Most recently, I’ve worked with runners and swimmers to improve strength and conditioning, identifying key areas for performance gains. My aim is to build trust in the process, enabling athletes to train with confidence and resilience.

Scott James

Exercise & Movement Partner

As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, I’ve experienced the power of a healthy lifestyle firsthand. After losing 10 stone and transforming my own life, I became passionate about helping others do the same. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sport & Exercise Science, combining academic knowledge with lived experience to support my clients’ goals.

My personal journey includes overcoming major knee surgeries and competing in Hyrox events, becoming one half of Hampshire’s fittest pair in 2022, and qualifying for the ATHX Pro UK Finals in 2024. I bring that same determination to my coaching.

I tailor every programme to the client—whether the focus is fat loss, strength, rehab, or performance. I take time to understand what matters most and apply the latest evidence-based tools to help clients succeed. My approach is shaped by real-world challenges and a deep commitment to helping others thrive through health, strength, and resilience.
