I’m an Advanced Sports Dietitian with 15 years experience helping athletes and active people eat for peak performance. My passion for sports nutrition stems from personal involvement in endurance events including Ironman, marathon and ultra-marathon races. My professional areas of interest include endurance sports, the performing arts and supporting athletes with Eating Disorders.
