Nourish Not Diet

Searching for a dietitian who understands you and your health concerns?

Hi, I’m Alison Stewart.

Let's work toegether

You have a unique story and deserve expert nutrition counselling and advice that is as individual as you are.

If you want to feel supported, understood and hopeful about your health journey, and you are ready to invest your time in a solution that addresses your needs comprehensively and compassionately, you are in the right place.

I work alongside people with eating disorders / disordered eating, PCOS, gut health issues and chronic diseases to feel tangible improvements in both mental and physical health.

I can help turn your apprehension around food into confidence, and distress into determination that you have the ability to make choices that work for you.

An ally who genuinely cares about your well-being.

I’m an eating disorder and gut health dietitian with over 20 years of experience providing nutrition counselling and care that is welcoming and affirming to all identities and is rooted in empathy, inclusivity and a collaborative approach.

I strive to improve mental and physical well-being by getting to the core of issues and supporting you to discover your own sustainable health-promoting habits.

I help individuals, particularly those with eating disorders / disordered eating, PCOS and gut health issues find peace with their bodies and food, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives free from the constraints of traditional weight-centric health advice.

Along with my husband, I am an ‘empty nester’ 🙁 but things that bring me joy are the warm weather, camping and paddle boarding, being able to move my body with various activities throughout the week, volunteering, my husband’s amazing cooking, a warm fire in winter and hanging out with my Border Collie, Minh.

If you feel like we would be a good match, send me a message or give me a call.

Get in touch

P.S. If you visit me in person in Somerville, you might even get to meet Minh, who will say hello to you with a sniff and tail wag and, if you are lucky, a twerk!
