This is me. My name is Olivia.
I am a Registered Dietitian, and Founder of AKIN.
After working in several specialist areas in the NHS, including Diabetes and Weight Management, there was something that did not sit quite right. I found it heartbreaking to turn away women because they did not meet a ‘referral criteria’, and listen to stories of couples trying to have a family who had been given one line of advice from their doctor: ‘just lose weight’.
I thought maybe there was something more I could do.
I felt strongly that with my knowledge and experience, I could bridge a gap. I wanted to work with people to create families with an emphasis on health and nurture. So I embarked on creating AKIN.
I support women and couples at any stage of their fertility journey - from ‘just thinking about it’, to having had several rounds of IVF.
How can we help?
At AKIN we offer both one-to-one and couples support, either virtual or face-to-face in North Devon.
Before the session, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire, so that we can understand your journey so far. Then together we review your current nutrition and lifestyle, and discuss some ways to work towards your goals.
As a Registered Dietitian, it is important to me to be following the most up-to-date, evidence based guidance. No nonsense, no unnecessary expensive supplements or tests, no diet trends. Just your body, well nourished, fulfilling its potential.
together.
one step at a time.
