You know something is not right — but nothing quite explains it. Tests come back “mostly normal”. Advice conflicts. Your symptoms keep circling. You are left trying to join the dots on your own, while still getting on with life.
That is where I work.
I am Anna, Biomedic Nutritionist® - The Therapy Dietitian.
I help people living with ongoing, unclear, or unresolved health concerns to make sense of what is happening in their body. Using a functional and holistic approach, I help you restore balance, reduce overwhelm, and find a way forward that actually feels manageable and move forward with confidence.
My work brings together:
• Medical nutrition and dietetics
• Nutritional therapy
• Nearly three decades in biomedical science
• Over two decades in mental health support
I work with people who do not fit neatly into a single diagnosis, who may appear “fine” on the outside but feel far from it, and who are exhausted by information yet still lack clarity.
I do not offer quick fixes or rigid plans. I offer a thoughtful, grounded way of working that looks at the whole picture — symptoms, history, nervous system, nutrition, and real life.
After many years in clinical laboratory medicine, I saw how easily people become reduced to results and pathways, while the lived experience of symptoms is overlooked. I also reached a point where the demands of that system no longer allowed space for health — including my own. Moving into independent practice allowed me to work with honesty, integrity, and proper attention to the person, not just the problem.
Today, I work independently and online, supporting people to move out of confusion and into clarity, stability, and trust in their next steps.
