Diet means way of life, lifestyle from diaeta- in Latin.

A gentle, integrative approach to eating for gut health and emotional wellbeing

Living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Coeliac Disease, or a Disorder of Gut–Brain Interaction (DGBI) can make food feel complicated. You may find yourself navigating symptoms, uncertainty, and conflicting advice — all while trying to maintain a sense of normality around eating.

My approach brings together specialist gastroenterology dietetics with a deep understanding of the brain-gut connection. The aim is simple: to help you feel safe, confident, and supported in your relationship with food.

Food, emotions, and the gut are deeply connected

When the gut is sensitive, even small changes in stress, sleep, or routine can affect symptoms. Many people describe:

• feeling anxious before meals

• avoiding foods “just in case”

• eating while tense

• losing trust in their gut

These responses are completely understandable — and they can ease with the right support.

Together, we explore not only what you eat but also how your body and mind respond to food. This creates space for clarity, confidence, and calm.

Support for DGBI, IBD, and coeliac disease

As a Specialist Gastroenterology Dietitian, I offer evidence‑based guidance for:

DGBI

  • IBS

  • Functional bloating

  • Functional diarrhoea/constipation

  • Visceral hypersensitivity

  • Gut–brain dysregulation linked to stress or sleep

IBD (Crohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis)

  • Nutritional optimisation in remission

  • Managing symptoms during flare‑ups

  • Supporting energy, micronutrient status, and gut comfort

  • Reducing fear around food after periods of instability

Coeliac disease

  • Safe, confident gluten‑free living

  • Troubleshooting ongoing symptoms

  • Ensuring nutritional adequacy without overwhelm

My aim is always to reduce restriction, not increase it — and to help you build a way of eating that feels sustainable and nourishing.

Integrating diet with the brain-gut connection

Food is only one part of the picture. The gut responds to:

  • stress

  • emotional load

  • sleep quality

  • past experiences

  • the stories we tell ourselves about symptoms

This is why I integrate gut‑directed hypnotherapy, imagery, and communication‑based regulation into my dietetic practice. These tools help to calm the nervous system, reduce symptom reactivity, and create a sense of safety around eating.

As this foundation settles, something meaningful often shifts: people working towards improved well‑being frequently report feeling more grounded, more in control, and less overwhelmed by their symptoms — even before dietary changes begin.
