What We Do
Weight Management
Diet and exercise need to be balanced in order to achieve successful weight loss. You can exercise as much as you'd like but if you are not eating healthy, you will not receive the full benefit of weight loss, and vice versa. We can educate you on ways to incorporate healthy eating into your lifestyle and create an individualized plan to achieve your goals.
Conquer cravings
My expertise is specialized in helping people overcome the diet demons. Develop greater joy in dining using techniques I provide. Working together we will shift the emphasis from dieting and restraint to dining with joy and comfort. This powerful change comes from doing things differently with foods, portions, dining and connection with your appetite.
If you struggle with cravings and the diet merry-go-round, you should know that I see my clients lose weight without having to battle cravings and live a healthy, happy life.
Relieve GUT Bloating
Nothing feels worse than bloated guts.
Trying to work out which food or drink is the problem (irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis) is even harder on your own. This is where my expert knowledge of the FODMaPs diet, lactose intolerance, gluten free diets, amines, salicylates, glutamates, preservatives and colourings can help.
Getting the diagnosis right and in a practical way is the tricky part. Diagnosistic tools may involve an elimination diet followed by a food challenge phase. The final phase is important as it is about expanding your diet, then setting you up for managing your dietary intake and preventing symptoms.
