About Me
I am intrigued by people - the way we act and the way we work. My interest in physiology and nutrition led me into first studying sport and exercise science and following this up by completing a post graduate diploma in dietetics and nutrition.
I am currently employed by Ipswich Hospital NHS, working as a specialist dietitian. This role enables me to communicate with individuals, groups and other professionals, sharing my knowledge and empowering others to improve their well-being, lifestyle and understanding of their own health needs.
In addition to my role at the hospital, I work as a freelance dietitian, using my personable approach to empathise with clients and tailor dietary recommendations to be as compatible with their lifestyle as possible. As a qualified personal trainer and freelance fitness instructor I am able to provide you with a holistic approach that will help you to change your behavioural patterns in order to prevent chronic diseases and improve your well-being.
