Meet Paulina, Your Dietitian
Evidence-based nutrition, tailored to real life
Hi, I’m Paulina, an HCPC-Registered Dietitian and mum of three.
I support children, families and older adults with nutrition that is evidence-based, personalised and practical, taking into account not just nutritional needs but medical conditions, routines, preferences and the realities of everyday life.
HCPC Registered Dietitian (DT036174)
My Background
My route into dietetics began in health and social care.
For over ten years I supported people with a wide range of needs, including children with complex medical conditions requiring tracheostomy care, ventilation support and PEG feeding, older adults living with dementia and frailty, and people managing long-term conditions at home.
These roles taught me that nutrition never exists in isolation, and that advice only works when it fits the person in front of you.
Becoming a Dietitian
I completed my BSc (Hons) in Dietetics and Nutrition at London Metropolitan University, including clinical training at the Royal London Hospital (Barts Health NHS Trust).
My dissertation examined the evidence on omega-3 supplementation in children with ADHD, a topic where families often face a lot of conflicting information. I’m now continuing my studies with a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Leadership in Practice at the University of Hertfordshire, deepening my understanding of family health and the wider factors that influence what and how we eat.
Working with children and families
Alongside my dietetic work, I’m a SEND Teaching Assistant, supporting children and young people aged 4 to 19 with autism, ADHD, and physical and mental health needs.
This gives me a day-to-day understanding that, for many children, eating isn’t simply about knowing which foods are “healthy.” Sensory sensitivities, texture, routine, anxiety, appetite and past experiences with food all play a part. That’s why I focus on understanding each child and family rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.
My Approach
There is no single diet that is right for everyone.
I base my advice on current evidence, individual assessment and shared decision-making, and I’m honest when the evidence is limited or uncertain.
I don’t follow trends, social media claims or restrictive diet culture.
Rather than aiming for perfection, we’ll work together on changes that are meaningful, achievable and right for you.
Where needed, I’ll also recognise when another healthcare professional should be involved.
Personalised Dietetic Care, Online or at Home
I offer online dietetic consultations across the UK, as well as home visits in Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
Whether you’re looking for support for yourself, your child, your family or an older relative, I aim to provide personalised dietetic care that fits your individual circumstances.
