Healthy Eating Advice
Why did I become a dietitian?
I have suffered from my own gut health problems for 10+ years, so I understand what it is like to struggle with gut issues. I have been on every diet under the sun, and in the process realised that it was hard to find recipes which not only suited my diet but that were also tasty.
Why do I love being a dietitian?
Food and our relationship with it, makes up a core part of our life. We socialise over food, use it to celebrate occasions and share family traditions by passing down recipes.
I love taking the time to get to know my clients and to find out what their unique relationship is with food. Not one approach works between clients and that's why I love what I do. Being able to tailor health care to my clients and their own needs means we are one steps closer to figuring out how to best achieve their health goals.
