DesignerDiets

The best dietician I have ever met. I cherish her book it has changed my skin completely.

Recommend Geraldine for getting you on track! Keeps me accountable, is sensitive and supportive but also firm on expectations. Can deliver a high quality service in the time provided. Expensive but worth it. Recommend persisting

When I came to see Olivia I was at my wits end. Feeling depressed, unattractive, sluggish and hopeless. I have multiple sclerosis and after trying so many different recommendations/diets/restrictions designed to "make me feel better" but actually making me feel worse, I was desperate for any help after being "so good" but losing no weight and seeing no improvements in my health.

After extensively Googling dietitians with experience and knowledge about my conditions (I also have Coeliac Disease), I stumbled across Olivia and was filled with a cautious optimism that hadn't been present for a while. She, and the Designer Diets Clinic promoted tailored solutions for each individual and the fact that Olivia is doing her PHD on diet and MS had me sold!

Today, six months later, I sit here writing this review feeling pretty fantastic, wearing a new pair of jeans that make me feel super cute and am so happy at where I'm at that I literally just felt a salty tear burning my eyeball.

From the very first time I met Olivia she made me feel heard, my struggles were important to her and she was determined to help me. She understood my condition thoroughly and her oozing sincerity blew me away; I wasn't just a transaction to her, I was a person and I mattered. With a chronic health condition, you often get dismissed or written off because of said condition so it really meant a lot to me.

Over the next few months we did a bunch of tests and explored me and my diet specifically to find out what was working for me and what wasn't so that Olivia could target her recommendations to my individual needs. The recommendations were fairly easy to implement into my lifestyle and my personal tastes were considered; at no point was I told I needed to give up XYZ entirely which again, was huge considering pretty much all MS diets focus on the elimination of entire food groups.

Seeing Olivia has literally changed my life and I am so, so grateful. Not only am I regaining the use of my closet post MS weight gain but I am doing it in a safe and sustainable way being overseen by an absolute champion and leader in her field. My mental wellbeing has improved dramatically and after my last blood test results; so has my inner wellbeing!

Thanks for being you Olivia and choosing to work with me, and those with my condition. I know I've put in the hard work and had the dedication to get this far but without your guidance, support and being part of my cheer squad I know I wouldn't be where I am today.

Geraldine is by far the best dietitian my daughter and I have seen. She is very knowledgeable but also empathetic and welcomes you like one of her family. She has gone out of her way to be helpful and always understanding. I can not recommend Geraldine highly enough, she has made the world of difference to my family.
