About me
I am a highly experienced and evidence-based dietitian dedicated to providing personalised, practical, and realistic nutritional advice.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working in diverse areas such as surgery, critical care, weight management, oncology, renal care, and respiratory care. This wide-ranging expertise has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to address complex nutritional needs and support patients through various health challenges.
I specialise in bariatric surgery, including nutritional optimisation both before and after surgery. Currently, I serve as the Clinical Lead Dietitian for bariatric surgery at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust. In this role, I oversee the nutritional care of patients undergoing bariatric surgery, ensuring they receive the best possible dietary support to enhance their recovery and long-term health outcomes. My commitment to evidence-based practice and patient-centred care has earned me the trust and respect of colleagues and patients alike.
I also specialise in oncology and prehabilitation. As an oncology dietitian, I play a critical role in the comprehensive care of cancer patients, addressing nutritional challenges that arise from both the disease and its treatment. Proper nutrition is essential for maintaining strength, energy, and the body’s ability to heal—crucial factors for cancer patients who often face unique dietary needs and obstacles.
My expertise extends to assisting patients with weight gain and sarcopenia, managing Type 2 diabetes, and addressing reactive hypoglycaemia. I also provide care for lipid-related conditions, including familial hypercholesterolemia and statin intolerance, and offer specialised guidance for IBS at any stage of their journey. I support patients with HPB diagnoses such as pancreatitis and liver disease and offer pre- and post-surgical care.
Additionally, I am skilled in providing dietary advice for neurological disorders, CVA, MI, respiratory conditions, and female-specific health issues like PCOS, menopause, and endometriosis. I also can advise on conditions such as coeliac disease and address male infertility issues related to poor sperm quality.
