Hi I'm Niki. I am a registered dietitian, nutritionist and mother of three who provides bespoke food and lifestyle plans to support you through all stages of life.
From creating food plans to support pregnancies to newborns, to picky eaters and teenagers, through to preparing for a special day, or even adjusting to new health conditions - my goal is to empower you with realistic food and lifestyle strategies that work for you.
Niki, Registered Dietitian
Welcome to
The Family Dietitian
I set up the Family Dietitian as I observed the struggles my patients went through implementing strategies that had been put in place by dietitians. A half hour initial appointment and one twenty minute review consultation, for many conditions, is not enough – particularly when trying to understand the nuances of individual families.
The Family Dietitian was therefore established to enable me to put YOU and your family in the centre of your own treatment plan. In other words, you are the boss, I will do whatever works for you. I am not simply a paediatric dietitian, I look after the whole of your family – no matter their age.
My Approach
If you simply require a one-off consultation, be given information enabling you to work on your own issue with the knowledge you can come back to me at any time, that is great by me.
On the other hand, if you would like to work with me over a prolonged period to help you with your relationship with food or for example pre-pregnancy nutrition leading onto pregnancy then weaning – I would be delighted to be there for you.
On request I can come to your home and observe your family mealtimes (I need to see the real you, so don’t worry, no additional preparation is required), teach you to cook, go through and sort out your cupboards with you or we could do a supermarket shop – so I can highlight different things to look out for when purchasing food.
I am not only focused on the nutritional aspects of your diet, I can also help you overcome the barriers to implementing your plan and lifestyle factors which may be hampering your progress.

Services
Flexible sessions to meet your needs
I offer a FREE 20 min chat so we can establish if I am able to help you with your diet related issue. Contact me below.
£90 per hour
Initial Consultations
These can be online or in person and typically last for one hour. During this time we will go through your concerns and areas in which you would like help, your medical history and what you have tried in the past that has been successful and not so successful. Between us we will then put together a roadmap of where you are now, where you would like to be and how to get there. I can then help you set your own goals until your next session.
£45 per 30 mins
In-person Family Session
Meet your very own "Super Nanny!" Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, plans just don't seem to work. In these instances it can be really helpful to have a third party observe your meal times - don't worry, no judgement here - I would come and see you as you are, no preparation required on your part. This would be done in conjunction with consultations. My travel within 5 miles of Woking Town Centre is free of charge.

Review Consultation
Review consultations can vary in length. To ensure we have enough time to get to the bottom of any potential questions, concerns or barriers, I initially book out 30 minutes, however I am available longer if required. Time is charged in additional 15 minute slots. During these appointments, we discuss how you have found things since our last chat, look at addressing barriers and adjust your goals against your timeline.

Group Education
Whether you are a group of parents daunted at the prospect of weaning your babies onto solid foods, a nursery or school looking for someone to give a talk to parents about how to manage picky eating or you are a company concerned about staff welfare and would like someone to give a series of talks to demystify healthy eating/ultra processed foods, I am here for you. We can arrange a free, no obligation call to discuss requirements.
