About me

As a registered Dietitian/ Nutritionist I deliver holistic nutrition counselling for IBS and gut related disorders and all types of disordered eating and weight management. 

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 dietary modifications including evidence based low FODMAP diet and when appropriate yoga therapy techniques including breathing and relaxation practices to improve gut brain interaction.

-Weight management 

-Mindfulness eating approaches to overcome disordered and emotional eating and yoyo dieting.

- 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, Bransford near Worcester and can do home visits for an additional cost.

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.
