About me
Specialism: Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes | Fat Loss | Blood Glucose Management
I'm a Registered Diabetes Dietitian with over 20 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes, alongside my current roles as a National DAFNE Training Development Lead and working within paediatric diabetes as a dietitian.
I also worked in adult diabetes and was involved in setting up GLP-1 nutrition pathways and GDM clinics. I also have extensive knowledge in HCL technology and use CamsAPs Fx myself.
I work with people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and want to lose body fat without the daily disruption of hypos, unpredictable blood glucose swings, or generic advice that doesn't account for insulin.
Rather than trying to change everything at once, we start by identifying the one or two things having the biggest impact on your progress, and focus there first. This keeps things simple and avoids overwhelm.
My approach combines personalised nutrition planning with practical, day-to-day management strategies - built around your own data, lifestyle, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all template. Support includes weekly check-ins and direct access between sessions via messenger, so changes can be reviewed and adjusted as you go.
The aim isn't just to help you reach your goal - it's to help you understand your own nutrition and lifestyle well enough to maintain it independently, long after coaching ends.
I understand the realities of managing diabetes because I live with it myself, and I bring that alongside my professional training as a dietitian and a national diabetes educator where I educate other healthcare professionals on diabetes.
I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee: if you engage fully with your personalised programme and aren't happy with your results, I'll refund you in full.

Nutrition topics
info Information about health conditions (*)
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. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Further information
My aim is to get you to your glucose and ideal body composition as easily and quickly as possible, with the ultimate goal of you being able to maintain your new weight and improved glucose control on your own. Diabetes is a dynamic disease and I aim to teach you how to manage it without feeling restricted or confused around diet or lifestyle.
Coaching is delivered remotely, so location isn't a barrier.
Sessions and check-ins are flexible around work and lifestyle commitments - I understand this well, building this alongside a full-time NHS role myself.
