About me
I'm Patty - HCPC-registered dietitian, a mum, and the founder of Self Centred Mother.
You could call me a Women's Health Dietitian, however more specifically, I support working mums whose own eating habits have fallen apart under the mental load of motherhood.
I've spent 12+ years as a dietitian, in the NHS and in digital healthcare, supporting hundreds of people to use food to improve their health.
Over those years I kept hearing the same story from women - their health started to decline after they had children. The rest of the family came first, life was busy, and slowly their own eating was the thing that suffered.
Then I became a mum and lived it myself. That's where Self Centred Mother came from.
I help women sort out the nutrition side of this properly - the concerns specific to mums of young children, and the everyday barriers that stop good intentions turning into actual habits.
I take a non-diet approach - no meal plans, and no quick fixes.
Depending on your needs, support may include:
- A detailed assessment including medical history, lifestyle and dietary patterns
- A personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan
- Tailored recommendations for blood tests and nutrition supplements (if indicated)
- Regular follow-up appointments for ongoing progression
- In-app message support between consultations

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.
