About Me

I’m a registered dietitian with a passion (and borderline obsession!) with the Gut Microbiome. I have recently left the NHS, where I worked as a Highly Specialist Dietitian, to focus full time on private practice. I strongly believe that optimal gut health is at the heart of being happy, well, energetic and a healthy weight.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

I have a keen interest in supporting clients who have been diagnosed with IBS, but  are not responding to first line dietary / lifestyle advice and whose symptoms are significantly impacting their quality of life (often with no NHS support offered).

In these situations I take an investigative approach, looking closely at the person as a whole and guiding them where alternative diagnoses (eg. histamine intolerance or bile acid diarrhoea- BAD) may need consideration.

Further areas of speciality:

-   Gut disorders: coeliac disease, diverticular disease, lactose intolerance, constipation, BAD, gastritis, reflux

-   Histamine Intolerance

-   Weight reduction (including support whilst on weight loss (GLP 1) injections)

- Other conditions: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, osteoporosis, pancreatitis & pancreatic insufficiency, liver disease, iron deficiency anaemia

-   Vegan & plant based diets

I look forward to hearing from you,
