About me

As a registered Dietitian/ Nutritionist and yoga practitioner I deliver holistic nutrition counselling for IBS and gut related disorders and all types of eating disorders including feeding difficulties in early years. 

All of the dietary advice I give is based on individual needs and requirements and where needed nutrition plans are designed based around personal likes and dislikes. I use the most up to date clinical guidance and scientific research on food, health and disease to provide a high standard of personalised care.

I have over 10years of work experience in the NHS and have been involved in a number of community projects delivering cooking workshops for young families, people with learning disabilities and mental health illnesses and I have given nutrition presentations and food demonstrations to the public, health professionals and corporate groups.

I specialise in: 
- Irritable bowel syndrome using the low FODMAP diet

-Weight management 

-Mindful eating approaches to overcome disordered eating and yoyo dieting
- Emotional eating

- Eating disorders including extreme fussy eating in children.

I offer virtual sessions via zoom and face to face sessions in and around Stratford upon Avon, Evesham and can do home visits for an additional cost.
