I have experienced childhood from a perspective of severe asthma, eczema and allergies and the as a dietitian have trained and practiced in their dietary interventions. I have successfully helped many with an irritable bowel (IBS), short intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), gastro (tummy problems), intolerance such as histamine, weight and eating problems.   Working in varied health care roles has taught me challenges happen regardless of age, size, health and background.  When they do, I always give what I would expect if I was troubled:  confidence and practical help to navigate towards wellness using best practice.   I offer a personalised service and recognise only you can make the changes but I am here to help you; side by side, step by step. 

Along side private practice since 2010, I have practiced as specialist gastroenterology dietitian and lead specialist weight management dietitian for NHS services.  I currently work for an NHS Trust as a specialist allergy dietitian. I have worked privately with adult and adolescent mental health disorders, including experience with eating disorders and have attended continuous development training in Advanced Dietetics in Eating Disorders; CBT-Eating Disorders; Self-Guided Help; Emotional Coaching for Carers and ARFID for Dieticians – A Responsive Feeding Therapy Approach.  I provide dietary interventions in line with these therapies (along side other health professionals as appropriate).  I began full-time private practice from May 2018; seeing infants, children, young persons and adults. Whilst working for NHS services, I was recognised for my evidence based and effective practice; twice nominated for patient excellence and showcased on effectiveness to other health professionals and the Clinical Care and Quality Commission. I provide a range of dietary treatments and welcome working alongside new or existing health professionals to provide holistic care.

Dietary interventions related to the gut include:  irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which can be caused by lactose intolerance, fructose, some or all FODMAPs or other intolerances caused by natural food chemicals (that can mimic allergy) such as histamine, salicylates and benzoates, multiple allergies including Cow’s Milk Allergy (both IgE and Non-IgE), coeliac and other disease such as Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis (Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Liver Disease, Pancreatitis and post-surgery ileostomy/colostomy, high out-put and short bowel syndrome.

Dietary interventions related to Eating disorders include, Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Non-Other Specified (NOS), Binge Eating (BED) and differentiating between Avoidance Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and fussy eating:  dietary assessment (including refeeding risk) and appropriate support for weight.

Dietary interventions related to other health and weight management include:  mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), menopausal, acne, weight loss, cholesterol, gout, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes (and reversal), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and high blood pressure.
