Services
I run an online clinic on weekday mornings.
Please advise on booking if you prefer videoconference or telephone sessions.
Tailored Nutrition Guidance
The human gastrointestinal tract is 8-9 metres long! The food we put into it has a significant influence on the health and functioning of the whole body.
Conditions I work with:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Coeliac Disease
- Inflammatory Bowel disease (Crohns Disease, Ulcerative Colitis)
- Reflux, GORD
- Diverticular disease, Diverticulitis
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Bloating
- Optimising gut health (gut-brain axis, gut-skin, gut-liver, gut-kidney, gut-hormone)
- Liver health, fatty liver, metabolic disease
What you'll get:
- A comprehensive assessment of your clinical conditions, symptoms, lifestyle, eating pattern and preferences
- A walkthrough education on types of foods and nutrients, and how digestion, absorption and metabolism works
- Meal planning guidance
- Tailored meal and snack suggestions and food product recommendations
- Shopping list optimisation – for tolerances, preferences and budget
- A review of recommended supplements, if any (we’ll prioritise food first!)
- A safe place to talk about tricky stuff (poo, pain, body image, eating challenges, vulnerabilities)
- Motivational behaviour change techniques with support and accountability
- Mindset coaching (informed by CBT, DBT, ACT and MI therapies)
*Please keep in mind, it takes several sessions to go through all of the above!
What you won't get:
- Judgement, shame, unhelpful pressure
- Diet culture.
Intuitive Eating Coaching
The Intuitive Eating principles help to cultivate a way of eating that integrates instinct, emotion and rational thought. Through coaching, I can provide a framework and guidance for you to explore and discover satisfaction in eating in a way that feels safe and healthy.
Honouring health with gentle nutrition, respecting the body, discovering satisfaction in eating, making peace with food and rejecting the ‘dieting’ mentality are just a few aspects of the Intuitive Eating approach to wellbeing and self-care.
I love how Intuitive Eating fits so well as a long-term management tool for managing gastrointestinal symptoms, once the food intolerances have been identified.
If you’re tired of yoyo dieting, or if you’re looking to improve your relationship with food, or think about ‘what next’ after an elimination diet, please get in touch so we can get you eating intuitively again.
Dietitian Supervision
Mentoring and supervision is available.
Please send me an email to enquire.
Menu Review
School tuckshops & canteens, boarding schools, childcare centres, cafés and restaurants – if you have a food service, you may benefit from a menu review!
As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I can work with your catering staff to assess and analyse your menu according to relevant nutrition standards and guidelines. I can then provide a report that outlines the evaluation and includes practical recommendations for quality improvement.
