I am a licensed Clinical Dietitian registered in both the UK and with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). I graduated from the University of Surrey, UK, with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Nutrition and Dietetics.

 

I have gained extensive clinical experience working in leading teaching hospitals in London, including King’s College Hospital, St George’s Hospital, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. During this time, I specialised in head and neck oncology, renal nutrition, and bariatric surgery. My clinical work included supporting inpatients, outpatients, and community-based patients, as well as leading group education sessions.

 

I am passionate about the role of nutrition in overall health and wellbeing, with a particular interest in gut health and the connection between diet, mental health, and how we feel both physically and emotionally. I strongly believe in the impact that food can have on mood, energy levels, and long-term mental wellbeing.

 

Prior to qualifying as a dietitian, I trained and worked as a chef, which gave me a strong practical understanding of food and cooking. This experience allows me to provide realistic, culturally appropriate and enjoyable nutrition advice that fits into everyday life.

 

At Ardens, I focus on supporting individuals to develop a healthy and balanced relationship with food. I take a holistic, person-centred approach, focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes that promote long-term health, recovery and the development of positive habits.
