Fran qualified as a Dietitian in 2012, gaining her BSc(Hons) in Dietetics from Leeds Beckett University in the UK. After spending one year in a community position, she had the opportunity specialize and work in an innovative outpatient multidisciplinary team supporting people living with Type 1 and 2 Diabetes. It was working in this environment that Fran developed a passion for patient education, health technology and gained a deeper appreciation for using alternative evidence based dietary approaches to support patients in meeting their health goals. She endeavours to ‘never say never’ to any food option and believes there is always a way of adapting meals to meet your food preferences in order to create a lifestyle you enjoy, fits into your schedule and helps you achieve your health targets.
After vacationing in Canada, Fran landed in Ottawa and realized she didn’t want to leave! So after working for 6 amazing years for the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, Fran along with her husband and 2 cats jumped on a plane to start a new adventure here in Ottawa!
Since arriving Fran has loved exploring the city and surrounding countryside - Gatineau park is a particular favourite! Fran's biggest passion lies in the kitchen, playing with different recipes and flavour combinations. Whilst many work out well her husband still won’t forgive her for the chocolate and blue cheese truffles she made last Christmas!
