About

Expertise you can trust. Care you can feel.

I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with over 8 years of experience in private practice and the sports nutrition industry. My approach is grounded in the latest evidence and guided by genuine curiosity about each person's goals, challenges, and lifestyle.

What sets me apart is lived experience. Having competed in soccer at an elite level for many years, I understand the physical and psychological demands of sport from the inside. But I also believe deeply that everyone deserves expert nutrition support — whether you're training five days a week or simply trying to eat better for your health.

I take a non-diet, whole-person approach, working collaboratively to build habits that last — not quick fixes that don't.

My Approach

How we work together

A structured, personalised process — from your first conversation to long-term success.

01
🎯
Understand Your Goals

We start with your story — your health history, lifestyle, food preferences, and what you've already tried. No judgement, just clarity.

02
🔍
Assess & Analyse

A thorough nutrition assessment to identify gaps, patterns, and opportunities. We look at the full picture — medical history, bloodwork, and daily habits.

03
📋
Personalised Plan

An evidence-based plan built around your real life — not a one-size-fits-all template. Practical, realistic, and tailored to what you actually enjoy eating.

04
💪
Support & Empower

Ongoing support, accountability, and adjustments as life changes. The goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to thrive independently.

Sports Expertise

Performance nutrition for every sport

Having competed at elite level in soccer, I bring deep understanding of what sport actually demands — physically and mentally.

Client Stories

What clients say

★★★★★

Working with a dietitian for the first time, I didn't know what to expect. What I got was genuinely practical advice that fit around my busy teaching schedule. No meal plans I'd never stick to — just realistic changes that made a huge difference.

★★★★★

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and felt completely overwhelmed. The guidance I received made the dietary changes feel manageable. My HbA1c has improved significantly and I finally feel in control of my health again.

★★★★★

As a semi-pro footballer, the level of knowledge around sports nutrition is exceptional. The match-day plans, training week periodisation, and recovery strategies have taken my performance to another level. Highly recommend to any serious athlete.
