Dietitian Nutritionist Ayrshire
Inspirit - Nutrition & Dietetic Consultancy
Hello and thanks for stopping by!
I’m Fiona, the dietitian behind Inspirit Nutrition and Dietetic Consultancy, started in April 2022 after a career spanning over 2 decades within the NHS. In case you are wondering “Inspirit” means to enliven and encourage, and that perfectly encapsulates the ethos I bring to your care.
Based in Stewarton in the beautiful Ayrshire countryside I offer in person and online appointments, allowing those further afield to access my expertise. As a full member of the British Dietetic Association and Health & Social Care Council (HSPC) which regulates all allied health professionals within the UK, know that in coming to work with me you are working with a regulated professional.
My extensive career within the NHS has resulted in a deep passion for the care of older adults and those living with chronic conditions and enabling them to have a rich and fulfilling life. During this time I was struck by how some individuals fair better than others in their later years and began to wonder what made the difference and more importantly what could be done differently at an earlier stage. Whilst there is undoubtedly an element of environment and genetics at play, there are many things that we can influence on a day to day basis to improve our health span as we get older. Current research is now proving the elements I have felt mattered for the last 15 or so years. Since taking the leap into private practice I have begun to realise the sheer volume of nutrition and lifestyle advice available to us all 24/7 and see the overwhelm it causes first hand. As we enter midlife, we have a wealth of lived experience and knowledge of our own bodies and how they work. Often times when we are involved with health care professionals we can feel misunderstood, not listened to and appointments rushed. My approach is firmly rooted in individualised, holistic care. I don’t just address your nutritional needs; I also consider your mindset and emotional well-being. Together, we create a plan that aligns with your unique goals, combining your lived experience, current evidence, guidelines and my extensive skill set.
Welcome to Inspirit, where your journey to a healthier, more vibrant you begins.
