Areas of Clinical Focus
Fertility & IVF Support
Fertility is influenced by the reproductive health of both the person providing the egg and the person providing the sperm, with nutrition and lifestyle factors playing an important role in preconception health. I provide evidence-based nutrition support for both male and female fertility, whether you are beginning to think about conception, have been trying for some time, or are preparing for or undergoing IVF.
Support is individualised to your circumstances, taking into consideration your current diet, nutritional status, reproductive health, lifestyle and any fertility investigations or treatment you may already be undertaking.
Weight Management
Weight management is complex and influenced by far more than food choices alone. Genetics, hormones, appetite regulation, metabolism, sleep, stress, medications, life stage and our relationship with food can all play a role. Nutrition support should take these factors into consideration rather than simply focusing on eating less or relying on restrictive diets.
My approach considers the wider picture, including your health history, metabolic markers, current medications, dietary intake and previous experiences with weight management. The aim is to develop practical dietary strategies that support both your immediate health needs and longer-term health, without unnecessary restriction.
Disordered Eating
Our relationship with food can become complicated, and difficulties with eating do not always fit neatly into a particular diagnosis or definition. For some people, thoughts about food, eating, weight or making the “right” food choices can begin to take up far more time and mental energy than they should, affecting both nutritional wellbeing and everyday life.
Navigating this has also become increasingly difficult in a world of constant social media messaging around food, weight and body image, alongside growing access to weight-loss medications, supplements and restrictive dietary approaches.
Nutrition support begins with taking the time to understand your individual experience, rather than trying to fit it into a particular box. I believe in walking alongside you, offering gentle guidance, practical support and the space to work through what can sometimes feel complicated or overwhelming. It is not about being told what you should or shouldn't eat, but finding a way forward together that feels manageable for you.
Reproductive Health Support
Reproductive health changes throughout our lives, from the onset of menstruation and the reproductive years through to perimenopause and menopause. Nutrition can play an important supportive role at each of these stages. Dietary patterns, nutritional status and lifestyle factors may influence hormonal and menstrual health, while also playing a role in the management of reproductive conditions and supporting health as our reproductive needs change over time.
I take the time to understand where you are in your reproductive life and what you are experiencing. From there, we can look more closely at your diet and nutritional status, consider where nutrition and lifestyle changes may be helpful, and work alongside any investigations, medical care or treatment already in place.
