Yasmina Diab
Yasmina is passionate about supporting women with disordered eating. This can include eating disorders with restrictive behaviour, but also women who suffer with binge-eating disorders, over-eating and those with unhelpful relationships with food. Her focus is on changing people’s behaviour around food rather than focusing on the food itself. For those seeking help to lose weight, a similar approach is taken by first focusing on what behavioural changes need to occur.
She also manages endometriosis, pelvic pain, PCOS, fertility, pregnancy, gestational diabetes and poor gut health.

Other great services include:
- Management of nausea/vomiting and hyperemesis
