Hi I’m Lisa, founder of Lifestyle Dietetics & Nutrition.
I am a married mum to two wonderful children. I was very fortunate to be a full-time Mummy to both of my children for 15 years.
Becoming a mum did bring some health concerns with gastro investigations. I was fortunate enough to be referred to a Dietitian to discuss advice to help manage my gastro symptoms through diet. From that moment I knew I wanted to pursue a career as a Dietitian.
Upon reflection, I discovered that I could combine my passion of food and nutrition with scientific evidence whilst helping people, to fulfil my dream job!
After a long and eventful career in the Travel Industry, and spending time being a stay at home mum and wife, I decided to return to study.
Once completing an access course, I studied and graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Nutrition & Dietetics from the University of Surrey. I am an experienced Dietitian, I am a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA) and registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC). I have worked as a registered Dietitian in both hospital and community settings.
I have worked in several NHS trusts in the South East of England, including as a paediatric, surgical, colorectal, gastro and pre-habilitation dietitian. I am currently working as a Mental Health Dietitian for Southern Health, whilst building up my private practice.
I am a member of the BDA CAMHS, Mental Health and freelance sub groups, and also registered to deliver the low FODMAP diet, certified by Monash Fodmap.
Overall, with the role of being a Dietitian I knew that I could make a real difference to peoples' lives, through passion, experience and striving to always offer sound evidential advice. I find my job very rewarding!
Thanks,
Lisa
