Therapist Bio

I am a qualified Dietitian/ Nutritionist and yoga therapist offering sessions for a range of diet related disorders.  You can come to see me for solely nutrition advice or a yoga therapy session which can include dietary advice depending on the condition.

As a registered Dietitian/ Nutritionist I deliver holistic nutrition counselling for IBS and gut related disorders and all types of disordered eating and weight management.

All of the dietary advice I give is based on individual needs and requirements and where needed nutrition plans are designed based around personal likes and dislikes. I use the most up to date clinical guidance and scientific research on food, health and disease to provide a high standard of personalised care.

I have over 10years of work experience in the NHS and have been involved in a number of community projects delivering cooking workshops for young families, people with learning disabilities and mental health illnesses and I have given nutrition presentations and food demonstrations to the public, health professionals and corporate groups.

My yoga enquiry began early in adulthood but gained real depth when I was introduced to the breathcentric practice of Viniyoga, and since then my regular practice continues to nourish and support me working through the challenges of life.  I qualified as a yoga teacher in 2009 and I have recently qualified as a Yoga Therapist.

I specialise in: 

- Irritable bowel syndrome using dietary modifications including evidence based low FODMAP diet and yoga therapy techniques.
-Weight management using a holistic non diet approach.
-Mindfulness eating approaches to overcome disordered and emotional eating and yoyo dieting.
- Eating disorders including extreme fussy eating in children.
