My passion to support others to live a healthier lifestyle began when I saw a dietitian for nutritional support due to severe pneumonia. This experience lead me to complete my masters in nutrition (dietetics) degree from the University of Nottingham in 2014. I have become invested in supporting others in finding ways to manage their nutrition that supports their health and long-term goals.

I am a registered dietitian with the health care and professions council based in Leicester and Leicestershire. I work part-time for the NHS in the Leicester Primary Care setting and part-time as a Freelance Dietitian.

I have been working with the NHS for over 8 years and have gained experience working with weight management in children, maternal obesity, geriatric rehabilitation, neurological conditions, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and cardiovascular diseases amongst other conditions. My experiences in different fields have allowed me to have a good insight into the importance of optimum nutrition during the ever-changing course of a lifetime.

Many years ago, I had the opportunity to learn about the low FODMAP diet and how it could support IBS sufferers. As a specialist low FODMAP dietitian over the years, I have worked with many NHS clients to support their IBS symptoms and quality of life with the use of a low FODMAP diet. Having suffered from gut health problems myself and the significant impact on my quality of life has strengthened my passion to support clients with IBS to help improve their symptoms.

My other major passion is supporting others in managing their pre-diabetic status and type 2 diabetes. I am hugely invested in this condition due to having experienced gestational diabetes during my pregnancy which increases the risk of me developing T2DM.

My personal experiences have given me a unique insight into how best to support my clients. As a Freelance Dietitian, I feel very fortunate to be in a position to share my experiences and professional expertise without the constraints of limited resources and time.
