I'm an experienced Registered Nutritionist and I have helped numerous people improve their relationship with food over more than 15 years. I will listen to your needs, your goals and your challenges and help you find a food solution that works for you - within your budget and within your schedule.
I have worked in the voluntary sector, NHS and in private practice - giving me lots of different insights. I also have 3 children which has helped me to understand first hand some of the challenges faced by parents when it comes to weaning, caring juggles and eating well.

What a Registered Nutritionist is
Nutrition covers many fields. There are many people who claim to be professionals who do not have the recognised qualifications to meet your needs. Registered Nutritionists have at least 3 years experience and recognised qualifications using science based on evidence. Registered Nutritionists are those registered with the Association for Nutrition. You can trust a Registered Nutritionist, just like you can trust a Dietitian.
Please don't call me with marketing opportunities.
