Our Specialisation
Our clinical expertise lies in the nutrition assessment and management of the following gastrointestinal issues:
Our approach includes comprehensive nutritional, gastrointestinal, and psychosocial assessments to deliver a personalised therapeutic dietary strategy for each individual. Our goal is not only disease and symptom control, but also the restoration of gut function, mental well-being, and a healthy, sustainable relationship with food.
A Scientific and Holistic Framework
We work at the intersection of dietetics, gastroenterology, psychology, and clinical research. We help patients make sense of the overwhelming — and often conflicting — information about diet and digestive health. Our team of dietitians ensures patients are supported with:
Collaborative and Integrated Care
We maintain close partnerships with referring Gastroenterologists, Psychologists, IBD Nurses, Gut Hypnotherapists, Stomal Therapists, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists, and Colorectal Surgeons to deliver truly integrated care. Our patients benefit from this collaborative model, especially when symptoms stem from complex interactions between the gut, brain, immune system, and environment. For many, identifying and treating psychological and lifestyle triggers can be as impactful as dietary modification alone.
