Mrs Vanessa Peat

Vanessa Peat is the co-founding director of Uniquely Created U, a Performance Nutritionist, Registered Associate Nutritionist, and accredited Personal Trainer with specialist expertise in performance nutrition, neurodiversity, and nutrition. 

As a registered nutritionist, Vanessa has particular interests in supporting people with neurodiverse eating challenges, disordered eating, sports and performance nutrition, and corporate wellbeing programmes. She is committed to creating tailored nutrition strategies that are realistic, sustainable, and designed to meet each individual's unique goals and circumstances.

Vanessa is registered with the Association for Nutrition (AfN) and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Performance Nutrition from the Institute of Performance Nutrition. She graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in Nutrition and Medical Science from University College London and further expanded her expertise through fitness industry training with YMCAfit. She is also an accredited Personal Trainer registered with Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity. In recognition of her contribution to healthcare, she received the Healthcare Support Professional of the Year Certificate of Recognition in July 2024.

Vanessa's passion for nutrition is deeply rooted in her own personal journey. Having experienced disordered eating, and later discovering previously undiagnosed learning differences including dyslexia, dyspraxia, and visual stress, she developed a profound understanding of the complex relationship between nutrition, mental wellbeing, and neurodiversity. These experiences have shaped her compassionate, person-centred approach to care.

Today, Vanessa is an active neurodiversity advocate and public speaker, sharing her experiences of overcoming learning differences, disordered eating, and academic challenges to inspire others. Through her work at Uniquely Created U, she is dedicated to empowering individuals with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools they need to achieve lasting improvements in their health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
