I grew up in Lancashire and currently live and work in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. 

I love sports and you'll often find me in the gym lifting some heavy weights, or pretending to enjoy Hyrox training! I take my own nutrition seriously because when it comes to training I want to be able to show up daily, train hard and progress week on week. 

At the weekends I love making the most of the amazing trail walks and reservoirs on my doorstep with my boys, and of course I'm a huge foodie... I'm a Dietitian, it's in my blood! 

My journey

At the age of 18, I studied a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Nutrition at Leeds Metropolitan University. After graduating in 2010, I continued on at Leeds to complete a Post Graduate Diploma in Dietetics.

I became a HCPC registered Dietitian and a member of the British Dietetic Association. I now have 13 years experience working in the NHS.

I’ve worked with thousands of individuals on a one-to-one basis, requiring specialist advice for Diabetes, and other complex nutrition support needs. I am trained to deliver nationally accredited diabetes education programmes for both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. I also develop and deliver training sessions to other healthcare professionals such as GPs and Nurses. 

In a world where we have nutrition advice at our fingertips on Google, or social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook we’re bombarded with contradictory advice, fad diets, and glossy packaged supplements promising to be the answer to all our problems. Unfortunately, often individuals are left confused, out of pocket and feel no better off.

For this reason, I like to keep ahead of the game when it comes to evidence based nutrition that’s safe and effective. I understand that not all research is good quality. I critically appraise all research put in front of me and can often be found listening to podcasts for all kinds of nutrition related health conditions. I have a  special interest in Diabetes, Weight loss, Cardiovascular Disease, and Women’s health, particularly           hormonal health and conditions such as PMD, Perimenopause and Menopause. 

No matter who I’m working with I have one key goal in mind; to ensure they leave with the knowledge and skills to manage their health condition with confidence, to live a better life for the long term. I take a holistic approach to every individual I meet and believe that when it comes to diet and lifestyle, one size does not fit all.
