About me

From the hectic 9-5 path of the NHS whilst studying for a Masters in sports nutrition, my career path has taken several turns, including heading into the mountains of Chamonix to work with enthusiastic young ski racers with the British Ski Academy. This led me to become a performance nutritionist at the high performance epicentre Sport Scotland Institute of Sport (SIS) and the buzz of working with national and Olympic athletes (GB curling team and winter athletes, Scottish swimmers, wrestlers and weight lifters). During my time at the SIS I gained a sport nutrition diploma with the International Olympic Committee. Filled with enthusiasm and drive, I moved on to set up my own business where I've continued to learn, develop and grow as an effective and skilled practitioner.

Contracts have included:

Writing and delivering evidence-based online nutrition lectures for Mac Nutrition Uni, including ‘Understanding the signs symptoms of diabetes’ and ‘The clinically obese population’. I drew on my practical experience and the latest scientific evidence to write and deliver these lectures
Working within private health practice as a bank dietitian for LA Dietitians - working within multi-disciplinary team (MDT) clinics to support bariatric patients (pre- and post- obesity surgery), general health clinics and ward cover

Testimonials

Richard Beasant - Health Client

Rebecca provided nutritional and supplement strategies for pre- and post-hip replacement surgery to promote wound healing and assist in the recovery of muscle strength. Adopting Rebecca's recommendations proved both beneficial and extremely successful, and assisted in my making a full recovery and returning to a normal and active lifestyle.
