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 yoga therapy techniques including breathwork and relaxation.
-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, Evesham and can do home visits for an additional cost.
