About me

I'm a specialist cancer, rehabilitation & gastrointestinal dietitian with many years of experience in dietetics, nutritional treatment and preventative nutritional counselling. I have a special interest and strong background in providing support for people struggling with gastrointestinal side effects from cancer treatments, for example, side effects following pelvic radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and/or surgery. I have training and experience supporting those with neuroendocrine cancer/neoplasms (NENs). �As well as over 20 years of experience with chronic gastroenterological conditions such as �bowel surgery, diverticular disease, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gallstones (and post cholecystectomy) and food allergy/intolerance. I have completed training to assess and support those with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), pancreatic insufficiency and bile acid diarrhoea/malabsorption.

I work in all areas of nutritional rehabilitation and prehabilitation to optimise recovery and fitness. Including supporting people recover from Covid or long Covid.�

I am also trained to use personalised nutrition (coupled with Nutrigenomics/nutrigenetics) to provide individual DNA based assessments. I am Monash University trained in the use of the Low FODMAP Diet.�

From improving recovery, reducing symptoms, improving your long term health and wellbeing to being able to cope better with treatments (operations/chemotherapy/radiotherapy/hormone treatment) there are many ways optimising nutrition can support you.
