Hi, I’m Leticia Dreier

Registered Nutritional Therapist & Functional Medicine Health Coach DipION rCNHC mBANT

My mission is to help women get to the root cause of their bladder symptoms and restore health using a combination of nutrition and life-style medicine, including comprehensive lab testing. You can read more about my approach here. Recurrent UTI & painful bladder syndrome Nutritionist

My passion for bladder health is both professional and personal. Having experienced recurrent UTIs myself for more than 20 years, I understand the frustration of repeated infections and antibiotics, the anxiety of waiting for symptoms to return, and how easily bladder problems can start to dictate everyday life.

Working with a nutritional therapist changed that for me. It helped me finally break the cycle I had been stuck in for so long and sparked my fascination with the wider factors that can influence urinary health. That experience ultimately led me to retrain as a nutritional therapist and help other women find the support and understanding I had spent years looking for myself.

Today, I look beyond the bladder alone, exploring the interplay between the urinary, vaginal and gut microbiomes, hormones, immune function and the nervous system, which may be contributing to symptoms. My background in women’s health also gives me a strong understanding of the hormonal changes that take place through perimenopause and menopause, and the impact these can have on urinary and vaginal health.

My approach is thorough and practical. I take time to piece together the different parts of your health story and translate complex science into achievable recommendations that you can realistically implement. Rather than overwhelming you with another long list of foods to avoid, my focus is on what we can add in to support your bladder and overall health, without creating further restriction.

I am also mindful of the emotional impact of chronic bladder symptoms. The fear of another infection or flare can influence what you eat and drink, intimacy, exercise, travel and social plans – and can leave you constantly monitoring every sensation in your body. I consider this side of bladder health too, incorporating nervous system support alongside nutrition and lifestyle strategies where appropriate.

Above all, I want the women I work with to feel heard and to have a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to their symptoms. My aim is to give you practical tools, support and confidence to manage your bladder health long-term. I know from my own experience how life-changing that can be.

My Qualifications

Inspired by the power of nutrition, I was set on a path to a new career in nutritional therapy, passionate about helping others find answers with their bladder issues. I embarked on a four-year course at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition, from where I graduated, with Distinction, to become a qualified Nutritional Therapist, specialising in women’s bladder health.

I am registered with both the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT), the professional body for Registered Nutritional Therapists, and Complementary and Natural Health Council (CHNC). I regularly attend continuing professional development training to keep up to date with the most current research in the field of nutrition.
