What Patients Say About Us

FAQs

Get quick answers to common questions about our services.

A dietitian is a regulated healthcare professional with a clinical degree and accreditation, qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy for specific health conditions. A nutritionist offers general nutrition guidance but is not regulated in the same way. Vanessa is a qualified specialist dietitian, meaning her advice is clinically grounded, evidence-based, and tailored to your medical profile, not just general healthy eating principles.

Vanessa works across a wide range of conditions and goals, including gut health and IBS, FODMAP dietary management, fertility nutrition, menopause, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, weight management, and sports and performance nutrition. If you are unsure whether your concern falls within her scope, simply get in touch and we will advise you before you book.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, a group of short-chain carbohydrates that can trigger digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals. The low-FODMAP diet is a clinically supported approach for managing IBS and related gut conditions. Vanessa is FODMAP-trained and can guide you safely through the process, including the elimination and careful reintroduction phases, which require specialist support to do correctly.

Before making any dietary recommendations, Vanessa takes a thorough look at your medical history, current health conditions, lifestyle, food preferences, and goals. Nothing is prescribed from a template. Your plan reflects who you are, what your body needs, and what is actually achievable and sustainable for your life.

Yes. Dietitian-led nutrition planning is one of the core components of our Weight Loss Management Clinic.

Most nutrition advice is built around averages

But your body, your health history, and your life are anything but average. Rather than prescribing a generic plan, Vanessa takes the time to understand your medical history, your lifestyle, and your goals before building a nutrition strategy that works specifically for you. Because the right nutrition advice not only helps you eat better, it also helps you feel better in every part of your life.
