Expert Dietitian for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Management

Food and lifestyle significantly influence PCOS management, making guidance from a qualified dietitian incredibly beneficial. A specialised PCOS dietitian offers personalised nutritional plans to help regulate your menstrual cycle, balance hormones, enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce symptoms such as acne and unwanted hair growth, and naturally support fertility.

Whether you're newly diagnosed with PCOS or have managed symptoms for years, tailored dietary support can empower you to take control, feel better, and reconnect positively with your body.

What my PCOS clients feel

I had a very positive experience seeing Anca. I learnt a great deal about my body and mind through a number of methods. My gut health improved greatly, and my attitude towards eating changed. I use her relaxation methods to help me sleep and take time for me when stress starts to increase. Not a day goes by that I don't think about what Anca taught me. Her knowledge and wisdom astounds me. Thank you.

Lisa

From day ONE Anca amazed me with her knowledge, passion and genuine care to help me reach my goals. This incredibly intelligent woman provides more than just a meal plan. She has provided me with education, counselling, referrals to top quality professionals, high quality supplements and products, a shoulder to cry on and the bare truth when I needed to hear it. She has shown me just how important nutrition is for every aspect of my well being and how resilient the human body can be once equipped with the right tools. If you are scrolling through reviews looking to make not only a change, but the right changes, Anca is the person you are looking for.

Lacey

Anca’s approach to health is very holistic. From our first consultation I felt supported and comforted by her knowledge, care and warm approach. Anca has helped me to balance my hormones and I was able to get desired weight loss within 4 months. Anca leaves no stone unturned. From Breathing to Exercise , Sleep and Food, every little thing was addressed during appointments and options were given which was practical in my life style . I also had a biofield tuning session with Anca ,which has helped me to release blockages and stress from my body and I feel in a better place now physically and mentally. I would highly recommend working with Anca to anyone who seeks to improve their health.
