HI THERE! I'M PAOLA

I help my patients rebuild their relationship with food, movement and their body.

I'm a nutritionist specialized on eating disorders and disordered eating. I hold a Master's degree in Eating Disorders and Clinical Nutrition from University College London, have completed a training in enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy at the University of Oxford, as well as in intuitive eating at the London Centre for Intuitive Eating.

I’ve been there.

I have walked the same path that many of my patients are on. I haven’t always had a healthy relationship with food; I, too, battled with an eating disorder. At one point, I though I had it “under control”, but the truth was that the eating disorder was controlling my life. It wasn’t just restricting my food intake; it was stealing the joy from my life and occupying way too much space in my mind.

My unique perspective.

My journey of overcoming an eating disorder, combined with my formal education, has given me a profound understanding and deep compassion for my patients. While no two experiences are the same and comparisons are often unhelpful, I want you to know that recovery it’s possible. It’s possible to make peace with food and your body, and to regain the joy in life that the disorder may have taken from you.

Taking the first step.

Reaching out for support takes immense courage. You might not be entirely sure of what you need right now, but you know that something isn’t quite right with your eating and your relationship with food. You recognize you deserve better and are taking that first step. You’re in the right place to start your journey toward healing and recovery. Are you ready?

Whether you are suffering from an eating disorder or struggling with your relationship with food, I am here to guide you through this transformative process.

Our treatment sessions are tailored to your unique experiences and current circumstances. During our consultations, we prioritize helping you establish regular eating patterns and developing a more natural relationship with food, rather than focusing solely on the food itself.

The treatment evolves according to your progress, and while maintaining a healthy weight is important, it is not the primary focus of the therapy. Together, we work on creating balanced meals and appropriate portions.

I will support you through this transition with kindness and compassion, providing a safe space for you to rebuild trust in both food and your body. As a Nutritionist, I can also support you in managing a variety of conditions, including eating disorders, disordered eating, diabetes, insulin resistance, irritable bowel syndrome, and nutritional needs during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
