Sports Nutrition
I have a special interest in sports nutrition, supporting both elite and recreational athletes in optimising performance and recovery. As a certified personal trainer and dietitian, I bring a well-rounded understanding of both training and nutrition needs to help you perform at your best.
​
Whether you’re aiming to enhance your training or tackle specific challenges, I offer guidance on pre-, during-, and post-training nutrition to fuel your body and aid in recovery. I also assist with exercise-induced digestive issues, relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S), and recovery post-injury, ensuring that your nutrition aligns with both your athletic goals and overall health.
