I am a Dietitian with over 30 years experience who believes that eating well is the cornerstone of being and staying healthy whatever your age. As a busy working mum I appreciate the challenges modern living brings and offer individual, evidence based, tailor-made advice to fit your health needs and lifestyle. Changing your diet can improve your energy levels, health, wellbeing and treatment response.
Working in the media and as a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association I regularly appear in newspapers, magazines, TV and radio commenting on a wide variety of nutrition topics and health stories. I have worked on The Food Hospital (C4), Britain's Favourite Supermarket Foods (BBC1), all the national news channels, The One Show and Country File.

If you have other dietary issues not listed here, please contact Sian to discuss.
Before the first consultation, I will provide a health questionnaire and food diary for you to complete prior to your appointment.
An initial consultation typically lasts 60 minutes, and in this time I will ask detailed questions about your current and past health, lifestyle, weight, diet and any food related problems. From this and the information provided in advance, I will evaluate your individual needs, give advice and develop a personalised, safe and effective nutrition and lifestyle programme which is right for you with realistic and achievable goals.
Follow up consultations are generally after four weeks in order to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. A FREE phone or online follow up is included in the fee. Face-to-face follow-up sessions are also available for a fee and usually last for 30 minutes. One follow up is the norm but further follow-ups may be required. Depending on each individual situation, follow up appointments start from £35 up to £75 but we can discuss this and arrange to suit your requirements, lifestyle, budget and time.
