BONNIE KILLIP

DIETICIAN
Bonnie comes from a background in biomedical science and went on to become a dietitian and clinical hypnotherapist due to her own lived experience with anorexia nervosa and recognition of the important role nutrition and the health of our brains play in preventing illness and promoting wellbeing.
She has worked in a diverse array of settings including hospital and community and has experience in a range of medical areas from oncology, diabetes, paediatrics, surgical and cardiovascular to renal.
Her area of interest now is in working with people in recovery from eating disorders or dealing with mental health problems including depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD and Asperger’s and using a combination of nutrition and neurobiology to facilitate them to build real life skills and resources to gain control over their thoughts, feelings and behaviours rather than be at the mercy of compulsions and so that health, self-trust and self-care come naturally.
