Areas of Special Interest & Expertise
Veronika takes time to understand what you’re eating now and what you need, then builds a plan tailored to your unique lifestyle goals. She’s especially passionate about helping people in the management and prevention of:
Digestive Health
Support for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Coeliac Disease, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Veronika works systematically to identify dietary and lifestyle triggers, then provides practical strategies to settle bloating, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel habits.
Care goes beyond symptom relief to restore gut balance and improve overall digestive wellbeing. When appropriate, she can guide low-FODMAP protocols and reintroduction in a structured, sustainable way.
Gut-Brain-Hormone Connection
Veronika’s microbiome-informed approach recognises the gut’s role in mental wellbeing, women’s health, and long-term vitality.
By improving gut health, she helps clients lift mood, energy, and resilience, and supports hormonal concerns, including PCOS, endometriosis, fertility challenges, and perimenopausal changes.
A preventive focus includes healthy body composition, muscle and bone support, and brain health protection – so you can preserve vitality and independence, feeling strong in body and clear in mind at every life stage.
Chronic Disease & Metabolic Health
Tailored, sustainable nutrition for Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, weight-related concerns, and heart disease.
Veronika simplifies complex advice into doable steps that improve immediate wellbeing while reducing long-term health risks.
Healthy weight management
Veronika supports healthy weight loss without fad diets or guilt. She focuses on steady, sustainable change – meal structure, appetite cues, protein and fibre targets, and routines you can keep up at home, work and when eating out.
