From symptom overwhelm to lasting relief – expert dietitian and hypnotherapy support for IBS, food allergies, intolerances and digestive health.
If you are struggling with IBS, food intolerances, allergies, or anxiety around eating and reintroducing foods, I help you find relief, rebuild confidence, and make lasting changes — using a personalised blend of evidence-based dietary advice, hypnotherapy, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques.
With over 30 years’ experience as a registered dietitian, I offer holistic, one-to-one support tailored to you — whether managing physical symptoms or the anxiety that often comes with them.
Consultations available in Wantage, Oxfordshire, or via Zoom.
How can I help?
I work with adults and teenagers (16+) on a wide range of digestive and food-related conditions:
Digestive conditions:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Coeliac Disease
- Diverticular Disease
Get a clear, personalised plan to manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life.
The gut-brain connection:
Digestive symptoms aren’t just physical. I combine hypnotherapy, breathwork, and NLP to help calm the gut-brain axis — easing anxiety around eating, food reintroduction, and symptom flare-ups.
Break the cycle of food-related anxiety and rebuild a calmer, more confident relationship with eating.
Food intolerances & sensitivities:
- FODMAPs
- Histamine intolerance
- Salicylate sensitivity
- Sulphite sensitivity
Identify your triggers without unnecessary restriction, so you can eat with confidence and enjoy a varied, balanced diet again.

“I was impressed with, and very grateful for Liane’s professional, friendly approach to consultation, and the evidence-based knowledge and advice she was able to share to help me to make informed choices about my diet. I would not hesitate to recommend her services!.”
“It was lovely to have somebody listen to and analyse my symptoms in full and ask for the long back story. I’m sure this was greatly helpful in achieving a very useful diagnosis.”
Why choose a dietitian?
Dietitians use up-to-date scientific research to assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition related problems. ‘Dietitian’ is a legally protected title that can only be used by a suitably qualified professional. Dietitians are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, the statutory body which regulates health professionals. All dietitians are bound by registration with the HCPC to follow agreed standards of proficiency.
I offer one to one consultations in Wantage and via Zoom for those living further afield.
Also now offering online courses of gut directed hypnotherapy: thecontentedgut.com
I work with adults & teenagers (over 16s) to diagnose & manage food intolerances including:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Histamine intolerance or other intolerances

About me
Liane Reeves – BSc (Hons) Nutrition & Dietetics,
GradCertClinHyp, MSc Allergy
I graduated from the University of Surrey in 1996 with a BSc (Hons) in Nutrition with Registration in Dietetics and in 2013 with an MSc in Allergy gaining a Distinction through the University of Southampton. I also received the Holgate AAIR Prize for excellence in Allergy.
Since 1996 I have gained experience in NHS primary and secondary care, helping individuals to manage their conditions through diet. I have continued to work part-time for the NHS in Oxford as Adult Allergy Specialist Dietitian as well as run my own practice in Wantage, Oxfordshire.
I have co-authored publications on IBS, food intolerances and allergies and have co-written and continue to be involved in updating resources used by dietitians nationally.
In 2022 I graduated with a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis and Related Techniques through the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH) and Birmingham City University.
I am a member of the following:
Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC), British Dietetic Association Gastroenterology, Food Allergy and Freelance Dietitians Specialist Groups, The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) and the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis (BSCAH).
Symptoms/Dietary Advice
I will provide dietary advice based on your diet and medical history. It is important to take time to review this in detail as symptoms can overlap between conditions. In some cases, I may ask your GP or Consultant to carry out blood tests to confirm food allergies or check for coeliac disease or nutritional deficiencies. There are no reliable tests for food intolerances however, so the diagnosis is made by exclusion followed by reintroduction to determine level of tolerance.
Do you suffer from:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Food Intolerances
Food Allergy
Coeliac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity
I can work with you to:
- diagnose and manage food intolerances including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- manage a gluten free diet for coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity
- manage food allergies; guiding you on what is safe to eat and what should be avoided
- improve the balance of your diet
“Friendly, focused and well- informed advice with clear actions based on research knowledge and experience.” RW
“What can I say, I initially saw Liane on an off-chance that looking at my diet might help with my diagnosed chronic fatigue in some way. In talking to her I also discovered that many other niggling symptoms I have ‘lived with’ were most probably due to IBS and my diet. After following an exclusion diet put together by Liane I managed to eliminate many symptoms and have much improved my energy levels. I only wish I had seen her years ago.” LS
“Fantastic help from someone who has first hand experience herself.” JC
