Nutrition and person-centred support for people with Type One diabetes and their families

Holding space for you to feel supported and able to navigate the messiness of T1D life.

Support for T1Ds, by someone with T1D

Helping you find ease with your T1D

Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed and feel overwhelmed with differing opinions online, or if you’re an old hand at living with type 1 diabetes but feel saturated with nutrition information, I see you.

Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain? I’m here to help.

I’m a BANT-registered nutritional therapist with a background in psychology (two degrees and counting!). I’m utterly obsessed with putting type 1 diabetes on the map, holding space for people living with T1D, and uplifting their voices so that we can break free of the stigmas and isolation that often co-occur with this condition. I’ve lived with T1D since she was 9, so this is support for T1Ds, by someone with T1D.

It’s my belief that if you’re reading this, it’s because either the support you’ve received so far doesn’t seem to cut it - either it’s not working for you, or you’re not getting much of it - or you want help from someone who truly gets it: the CGM alarms, the hypos after you’ve brushed your teeth, the post-meal spikes… oh boy, do I get it.

The one thing that unites my clients, whether they’re a childminder or a coffee roaster, is that they share a desire to live life with T1D on their own terms, they want to be the best versions of themselves, and they refuse to settle for anything less than optimal health. I help them make that happen and I can do the same for you.

All the ways I can support your type 1 goals

Are you a brand looking for nutrition or wellness advice?

I help brands engage with scientific health advice so they can better communicate with consumers, and create products that promote good health and sustainability. I’m available to zhuzh up your website copy, and produce striking communications that get you closer to your ideal customer. Corporate wellness and education is a passion, and I regularly deliver in-person and online training sessions for health brands. I am a thought-leader in the diabetes space and am regularly invited to speak at events or on podcasts.

What people are saying…

  • “I’m so glad I decided to work with Beth. Her specialist expertise of dealing with T1 has been key to getting me to a better place with my condition. You can tell she has worked with many T1 clients so she really does understand and has seen it all. Since working with Beth I have much less fear around foods.”

  • “Beth was recommended to me by a local nutritionist as I have a child recently diagnosed with T1D. I've made good relationship with Beth and feel relaxed and able to talk freely in our sessions. It's lovely to work with someone that has so much knowledge and experience not only in nutrition but the condition.”

    Leah, parent of a T1D

  • “I am so pleased to have found Beth and been able to benefit from her professionalism, experience and understanding. Being able to ask the "idiot" questions with regard to nutrition and T1 and then to have Beth to gently steer has been life enhancing. Knowing she is there for me and that she will listen has been amazing.”
