Hi! I’m Alicia
Certified Nutritionist
Hi, I am Alicia Galea, one of Malta’s first and leading registered nutritionists
My career started as a pharmacist in 1998. After obtaining my Bachelor of Pharmacy Degree, I started working in the community pharmacy. Being in contact with many people and engaging into conversations relating to weight and other medical conditions related to food, I felt the need to pursue my studies further and specialise in nutrition and dietetics to be able to advise further food related issues. Being in contact with people and delve further in the issue is something I realised I wanted to do.
I obtained my Post Qualification Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Malta in 2001 and am recognised as a Registered Nutritionist with the Maltese Council for the Professions Complimentary to Medicine.
I set up my nutrition and dietetic clinic in 2001. Later that year along with my sister, Julienne we opened the first health shop and perfumery in Naxxar, Provita. I moved my clinic to this premises and since then, I have advised thousands of people with weight and nutrition related conditions. I provide personalised diets that are created for the individual according to their needs, health conditions and food preferences. Although I offer a vast range of nutrition-related services, such as lecturing, preparation of food labelling and menus, specialised diet for sports, food allergies and intolerances, weight loss/ gain, I focus mainly on weight loss and chronic disease prevention. I have helped thousands of people reach their weight goals. I believe in healthy, practical advice and small manageable lifestyle changes rather than any strict diets.
Earlier in my career, I appeared regularly in both print and television media contributing on all areas of nutrition related topics.
I am also a mum to Gabrielle and enjoy spending my free time with my family.
I look forward to sharing your nutrition journey with you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
