MEET YOUR DIETITIAN

Meet Alina, a compassionate, friendly dietitian and lover of food earrings (she has over 30 pairs). Alina specialises in supporting individuals aged 15+ to overcome any concerns they may have with eating, weight and/or body image.

Alina practices from a trauma-informed, collaborative and Health At Every Size (HAES) lens. Alina firmly believes that the individual is the expert of their own story and works with them to get to know the whole person alongside their specific goals and treatment plan.

Alina can support you throughout eating disorder recovery (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, OSFED and ARFID), as well as with disordered eating and intuitive eating. Alina has a particular interest in supporting people in bigger bodies to reclaim their relationship with food and their bodies. Alina is also experienced in supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks.

In addition to the above, Alina can support individuals with chronic diseases and/or history of chronic dieting to achieve their physical and emotional goals through a non-dieting and weight-neutral framework.

Alina is passionate about providing more size diversity to the field of dietetics and is an advocate for fat positivity and body acceptance.
