Brisbane based
Accredited Practicing Dietitian
I believe in the power of food to nourish the mind, the body and the soul.
I take great pleasure in food and travel adventures, finding new recipes and sharing a meal with friends and family.
Non Diet Dietitian
I am a Non-Diet Dietitian, (a Dietitian who doesn’t believe in prescriptive or restrictive diets) and I believe our relationship with food and what we eat is more than just nutrients and digestion.
I work with my clients, to improve their health, hormone regulation and eating practices without a focus on diets, weight loss or body size. It is only by trusting our bodies and mindfully turning towards our internal cues for eating that we can find a way of eating that is satisfying, enjoyable and sustainable.
Intuitive Eating Approach
Before coming to private practice, I have worked as a Dietitian in a range of settings including corporate health, hospitals and aged care.
From these experiences I have come to appreciate that most people know what foods we should eat to be healthy but our diet and weight focused culture can lead us astray with messages and rules about body image and how we should eat.
