In her own words

Hi, I’m Lisa Holmes and I’m a UK Registered Dietitian. I advise people of all ages but specialise in children’s nutrition and diet. I always aim to give you practical, realistic advice and support for issues or queries related to what you and/or your family eat day to day. Call me at Greatvine whether you want some expert help for yourself, or whether your call is about someone else; I’m more than happy to answer all your questions.

I graduated from Robert Gordon’s University in 1998 with a BSc (Hons) in Nutrition and Dietetics and enjoyed my NHS career, with 9 years as a senior Paediatric Dietitian. I gained invaluable experience with neonatal care; the management of cystic fibrosis; childhood obesity; and cardiology. In 2008, my family and I moved back to Aberdeenshire, and I opened my own independent practice. Today, as well as offering private consultations to help adults and children, I’m also a consultant to companies offering specialist corporate health advice. I also give regular talks on diet and nutrition. I have always valued keeping up to date on all the latest developments and my latest CPD course is the Postgraduate Diploma in Obesity Science and Management with Robert Gordon’s University.

I have two children of my own, both of whom had reflux, so I have a very personal understanding that any advice for parents must be realistic and practical. I place a strong emphasis on simple changes you can make without disrupting your daily life too much. I can answer your queries on many different topics related to food, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and Coeliac Disease. You might want to talk to me about a wide variety of gastrointestinal problems, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and constipation. Mums can call me about how to create better breast and bottle feeding for your baby, and how and when to start weaning them. However, it doesn’t matter if you want some advice for your own diet, or whether you need help for your children; I am here for you. So please feel free to pick up the phone and give me a call at Greatvine, until then my warmest regards,

Lisa
