About Mrs Catherine Rabess

Catherine Rabess, a Registered Dietitian, is the driving force behind Caff Dietitian—a project born out of her passion for cooking and creating healthy, balanced, and straightforward meals. Her primary objective is to offer easily understandable nutritional information without resorting to jargon, health claims, or quick fixes. Through her website, Catherine aspires to inspire and motivate individuals to embark on or maintain a healthier lifestyle, with a specific focus on evidence-based nutrition.

In her professional capacity, Catherine, also known as Caff, manages an NHS community Nutrition and Dietetic Service in South West London. Her expertise lies in areas such as home enteral tube feeding, rehabilitation, nutrition support, and gastroenterology. Additionally, she runs a private online consultancy in collaboration with The Hospital of St John’s and Elizabeth.

Caff possesses specialist knowledge and skills in managing medical conditions related to functional gut disorders (such as IBS), gut motility disorders, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, malnutrition, and long-term neurological disabilities and conditions. Her comprehensive understanding of these areas allows her to provide specialized care and support to individuals facing such health challenges.

Beyond her professional commitments, Catherine actively engages in public health projects, including those conducted at schools and charities like Greenwich Dance School. She also dedicates her time to volunteer work, organizing group workshops and cooking classes at local soup kitchens and youth clubs. This demonstrates her commitment to promoting healthy eating habits and imparting practical knowledge to diverse communities.

Caff is a frequent contributor of written pieces, comments, and evidence-based nutritional information to various media platforms. Her recent collaboration with BBC Food highlights her dedication to disseminating reliable nutrition advice. Moreover, she has been featured in notable publications such as The Independent, Daily Mail Online, HuffPost, and Women’s Health online, where she has shared her expertise and provided accurate information on nutrition-related topics.

Catherine is a really wonderful professional. It was refreshing to have such a thoughtful and thorough review and make some progress towards next steps. If you are someone who has difficulties with slow digestion and disautonomia, she really gets it.

I have been happy with my telephone consultation today but I need time to process all the advice given and hope to put it into practice starting from now. I would like to give Catherine a progress report in a few weeks to let her know if my symptoms are improving i.e. getting less severe and less frequent.

Catherine Rabess was very helpful and had an extremely pleasant manner. She explained everything so clearly and covered everything I needed to know to resume normal eating after my bowel operation. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Catherine was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly helpful during a vulnerable period of time in my life. I was a few weeks post bowel surgery and struggling to eat. There was so much anxiety around what was safe and what wasn't so after several consultations with various practitioners, I chose Catherine. She was friendly, persoable and instantly made me feel at ease. Through her in depth knowledge and phased plan, I was able to regain confidence in enjoying my meals again. Since working with her, I have completely changed my diet and feel great as a result of doing so. I highly recommend Catherine and she will be my first point of contact should I require dietary support again. Many thanks!

I felt in such safe hands with Caff - it was clear how skilled she is in the area of gastroenterology-specific conditions. Her warmth and empathy put me at ease straight away. There was no need for me to feel embarrassed discussing my bowel issues. She took time to fully understand my situation and challenges, and therefore created suitable dietary plans alongside me, with tailored adaptations, so it felt personalised, realistic and viable. Caff has been an integral part of my recovery journey. She is a rare gem in the healthcare profession.

Reassuring, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I understand better my medical condition and my dietary needs. I have some short term goals and will be in touch with Catherine for my future needs and to see how I'm getting on. I have a complex condition (SIBO) and acid reflux following an oesophaectomy. I was struggling to treat myself through dietary means alone even though I do have some knowledge of food management and nutrition.. There are times when you need professional/specific guidance and Catherine provided it. I found the Google Meet experience more engaging than a phone call.

I had the pleasure to work with Caff for a few sessions and it’s been an absolute treat! She made sure that my goals were realistic, she has been considering my lifestyle and she made sure that the adjustments needed were safe and easy to follow on the long-term. I can only recommend working with her as she will make each plan step bespoke for yourself (and adapt it when needed), all of that depending on your needs. And on top of that, you are always welcomed with a genuine BIG smile and plenty of positivity! Caff thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️
