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.
