About me
How can I help you?
Are you struggling with the symptoms of PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, or menopause or feel you have a hormonal imbalance?
Do you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Are you worried about your fertility and trying to find out how nutrition can support you to conceive naturally or improve your chances of conceiving through Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)?
I am here to help…
There is a lot of nutrition information out there and it can be very confusing to find out what is evidence-based. I am a UK Registered Dietitian and committed to providing evidence-based nutrition information to help individuals make sustainable long-term changes to improve their health.
While I have experience in a range of conditions, I specialise in women’s health and am passionate about helping those born with a uterus understand their bodies and find ways to lead healthier lives. My specialities include Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Peri-Menopause and Menopause, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) and Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease).
I also received specialist fertility and prenatal nutrition training and can provide guidance to females and couples looking to support their fertility through nutrition. This includes improving egg health, optimization prior to IVF and other artificial insemination techniques and general nutrition advice pre-conception.
I am also hugely passionate about gut health and have experience in assisting clients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), Coeliac disease, diarrhoea and constipation. I have been trained on the use of the low FODMAP diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Monash University. Besides looking only at foods, we will also discuss lifestyle changes to really help you manage these symptoms long-term.
How do the appointments work?
All appointments are online through a video call which means it is much more flexible and can fit into your busy lifestyle. After making an appointment you will receive a pre-assessment questionnaire to fill in prior to your first consultation. I will then conduct via video call an initial assessment which includes finding out more about your unique situation including medical history, any previous medical tests or scans, medications you are taking, general lifestyle questions and we will talk about what you normally eat in a day.
I will provide relevant nutrition education and we make a plan or set some goals on how we can assist you to feel better long term. I believe in small, sustainable changes to diet and lifestyle that over time can make a big difference in health outcomes, mood, energy levels and symptom management.
I provide a sample meal plan as part of my consultation package, however, it is not standard to provide a personalised meal plan as I believe in empowering women to make their own choices each day. However, if you wish to have one to get you started, a personalised 7-day meal plan can be created upon request at an additional fee.
About me
I am an experienced UK Registered Dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics. I completed five years of academic study and have been working in private and public hospitals for many years to be able to assist individuals with a range of conditions.
Why am I passionate about women’s health and fertility nutrition? Because I think we have a long way to go in understanding female bodies and how hormones can affect us. I want individuals to feel comfortable in their bodies and be able to make informed choices to improve long-term health.
As I have PCOS, IBS and Graves' disease myself, I have tried many of the nutrition and lifestyle solutions I discuss with my clients. I understand the struggles more so than most other professionals and would love to help you manage these conditions and their symptoms long-term.
If you wish to discuss this further, I offer free discovery calls which you can book here https://p.bttr.to/3mXWmas (feel free to contact me for additional availability).

Training, qualifications & experience
I complete a Master of Health Sciences in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Auckland and have since then been working in busy public and private hospitals in New Zealand and England. As I enjoy spending more time with clients and building a relationship to achieve improvements in health I started my own private practice a year ago.
Over the years I completed a range of training courses and attended local and overseas conferences both as attendee and as speaker. Most recent I completed the Nutrition Therapy for Fertility course offered by Nutrition Plus and completed the Monash University 'Low FODMAP Diet for IBS' online training course for health professionals.

Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice.
