Denise

So what makes Denise qualified to help you?

Qualifications:

• BA in Home Economics (1992) from Queen's University, Glasgow
• BSc in Human Nutrition and Dietetics (2005) from Trinity College Dublin

Denise has over 18 years’ post-graduate experience as a registered dietitian and is passionate about helping people achieve their health and nutrition goals.

As senior dietitian in one of the main teaching hospitals in Dublin, Denise ran various clinics on heart health, weight management, insulin therapy and diabetes, chronic kidney disease, renal replacement therapy, coeliac disease, eating disorders and low FODMAP diets. She also has experience in providing nutrition support for patients with neurodisability such as autism and Down’s syndrome.

Denise’s passion for good food and nutrition stems from her personal challenge with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) while studying for her undergraduate degree in home economics. The journey to a complete recovery took two years, six months of which in bed, which helped Denise empathise with the struggle that goes with achieving good health.

Whether supporting children with food allergies and fussy or aversive eating or promoting positive ageing for women through nutrition, Denise’s vast experience through the lifespan is guided by a simple philosophy: plan for health.
