Hypermobility Dietitian

Refreshing nutrition support for bendy and exhausted Zebras.

Over just trying to make it through the day? Navigating widespread chronic pain, gut dramas, constipation or diarrhoea (or both), dizzy spells, headaches, nutrient deficiencies, hives, and “what even is hunger today?”

We turn nutrition overwhelm into nutrition power for humans with hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) or hEDS, chronic pain, POTS, MCAS and ME/CFS.

We’ve got you (and your connective tissue).

Hypermobility nutrition tailored to your spoons, symptoms, and story

Feeding yourself with hypermobility isn’t as simple as “just eat more veggies.”

It’s navigating the endless medical appointments and admin, malnutrition, the upper and lower gut concerns, the pain, the fatigue, and the random bowel habits that make no sense.

Add in common co-conditions like POTS, MCAS, or neurodivergences like ADHD, or Autism (we see you neurospicy humans).

Just thinking about food can make you want to take a nap!

Nutrition shouldn’t be another stress in your life.

You’re already juggling dynamic, chronic, invisible illnesses, mystery symptoms, and joints that snap, crackle, and pop, you don’t need another full time job.

Let’s take food off your “too hard” pile and make it something that actually fuels doable whilst being sensory considerate.

We’ll start where your body’s at, whether that’s horizontal with abdominal pain, spoonless, bloated or wondering if crackers count as dinner (they do, by the way).

Our hypermobility dietitian offers belly-pleasing nutrition strategies that help reduce pain and inflammation, boost energy, and honour your one-of-a-kind experience with HSD/hEDS, POTS, MCAS, or ME/CFS (because no two bodies are the same).

Want nutrition care that honours your limits, your lived experience, and your brilliance?

No superpowers required, just show up as your dazzling zebra self.

Oh hey! I’m Alannah

A woman of many things - dietitian, hypermobile & POTSie girlie, croissant enthusiast, and someone who always has a bevvy in hand.

I’m also a human who gets just how chronically fatigued you really are, and how hard it is to live in a bendy body.

I hold space for my kind of humans to talk about the stuff they've carried in silence, upper and lower gut dramas, appetite confusion, POTS and MCAS symptoms, and everything in between (without shame, pressure, or fear).

Using a whole-body approach, we’ll find doable, personalised nutrition solutions that actually feel good for you, and fit your one-of-a-kind experience with HSD, hEDS, POTS, MCAS, or ME/CFS.

    • Manage fatigue, dizziness, and blood sugar crashes with food and fluid strategies that actually work for bendy body.

    • Make sense of gut chaos, from reflux, constipation, diarrhoea and nausea, or all three at once. We’ve seen it, we get it, and we know it’s not "just IBS."

    • Support appetite changes and energy intake when your body feels like a stranger and your hunger signals have gone rogue (or disappeared altogether).

    • Create flexible food routines for low-spoon days so eating doesn’t feel like climbing Everest. Toast. Yes. Up & Go. Yes. Crackers, and snack plates. Yes.

    • Reduce sensory overload and decision fatigue around food, so you’re not standing in front of the fridge in tears (again).

    • Work with symptoms of POTS and MCAS, including fluid and salt strategies, gentle nutrition tweaks, and identifying common triggers (without cutting everything out).

    • Unpack the emotional weight of eating with a chronic condition, because your love story with food may need some reviving.

    • Evidence-based care grounded in lived experience. This isn’t just textbook advice from someone who’s never had to lie down after a shower.

    • We support the tangled web of co-occurring conditions like HSD, hEDS, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, and more.

    • Non-diet, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming. Whether you’re an ADHDer, autistic or just plain exhausted, our dietitian for hypermobility will tailor support to your brain, body, and capacity.

    • Space to feel heard (finally). No eye rolls. No dismissal. Just someone in your corner who actually listens and believes you.

Want to thrive
(not just survive)
with hypermobility?

  • Hypermobility means your joints move beyond the normal range, but it often goes far beyond that. For many people, it’s experienced as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Such conditions can affect everything from digestion, immune function and energy to nervous system regulation. Common symptoms include joint pain, fatigue, dizziness, bloating, nausea, brain fog, and frequent injuries. EDS or HSD often co-occur with conditions like POTS, MCAS, or neurodivergences like ADHD, or Autism (ASD), which is why our support goes beyond “eat more veggies”

  • Nutrition is a game-changer for managing hypermobility symptoms, think better energy, calmer guts, fewer flares, and stronger, more supported joints. But when you’re dealing with EDS or HSD, POTS, MCAS, ADHD, or ASD, food can feel overwhelming and stressful. Working with a hypermobility dietitian can help you figure out what works for your bendy body and help you create simple strategies to eat these foods regularly (even on the days when toast is a win), easing your decision fatigue.
