Finding Support Whilst Waiting for Support

Hi, I'm Anna, dietitian and nutritional therapist.

Having spent years trying to understand my own health concerns, I know how difficult it can be when access to medical professionals and dietitians is limited by long waiting lists and stretched healthcare services.

It is easy to feel invisible, or to worry that no one is ever going to take your health journey seriously.

For years, I lived with a many complex, overlapping symptoms that felt completely random. It was exhausting. The one comfort to me was that my twin sister was going through the exact same thing right beside me, so I wasn't entirely alone.

There is so much more to our story, but the real turning point came when we put our biomedical science backgrounds to work. We started connecting the dots ourselves—and finally experienced how nutrition and dietary support could help.

Many healthcare professionals have been part of my journey, some easily accessible, some not so but an NHS dietitian was a key part of my journey. I remember being so incredibly anxious before my first appointment with her. But after listening to me, she looked at me and simply said, “I believe you.”

After feeling invisible and dismissed by the health system for so long, having my health struggles taken seriously was an overwhelming relief. She understood the complex science, the nutrition, but she also saw the person sitting in front of her.

Those are some of the moments are exactly why I am here to help. Someone was there for me when I needed it most, and that is exactly why I am here for you.

Good health to me has always included quality of life, helping you live as well as possible too.
