As a dedicated Clinical Nutritionist, I am passionate about educating and empowering individuals to optimise their health through the power of food. With a strong belief that nutrition is the foundation for lifelong vitality, I support clients in achieving both mental and physical wellbeing across all stages of life, from adolescence to healthy ageing. My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and client-centred. I work closely with individuals to understand their unique needs, challenges, and goals, creating personalised nutrition strategies that not only address current health concerns but also build lasting habits for sustainable wellness. With a special focus on the connection between nutrition, mood, and energy, I help clients make informed choices that support mental clarity, resilience, and physical performance. Whether managing stress, navigating hormonal shifts, addressing chronic conditions, or simply seeking to feel better in everyday life, I believe that food can be your most powerful tool for transformation. Through education, collaboration, and practical guidance, I aim to help every client discover how to fuel their body and mind to truly thrive.

Regarding weight management, many clients are using weight loss medications, therefore optimising the client's diet is especially important to minimise nutrient deficiencies that may occur. I also help clients understand their conventional and functional laboratory test results. Treatment plans are based on a client's extensive health history which I take in the Initial (First) appointment (including medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, conventional & functional pathology test results). Please bring your most recent laboratory test results and a list of current medications & supplements to your First appointment.

I also offer FREE email support in between consults for essential treatment plan or consult queries. I may recommend additional pathology laboratory testing (Conventional &/or Functional- Gut Microbiome, Genetics, hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) or sensitivities) to gather other health information. I may recommend supplements for extra health support (optional extra costs for supplements & functional lab tests). Therefore, for New Clients: 1. Book an INITIAL (First) consult (75 min or 90 mins) or COACH BUNDLE depending on individual circumstances. Or book a Discovery call to discuss which consult session is best for your circumstances. 2. First consult session: I will take a detailed health history and discuss relevant pathology test results with you, your health goals, provide education & strategies for your personal holistic nutrition and lifestyle treatment plan, answer any questions you have, and provide you a completed treatment plan the same day or the next business day. 3.

Hi and Welcome! I am an Accredited Practicing Dietitian and a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician. I also have studied Exercise Sports Science and I’m a qualified Physiotherapist. As you can see from my qualifications I have always had a unique fascination with the human body, what makes it tick and how we can assist it to function optimally. However, there were a few years when I was in my early twenties, that this love and passion for wellbeing became obsessive and disordered. I developed an eating disorder which required hospitalisation. I had a lengthy inpatient admission and then attended the day program and all of the specialist appointments that were required for me to progress in recovery. It took me many years to navigate the rocky path to reach full recovery, but I am very proud to say that I have 100% recovered from my eating disorder. I am now an incredibly happy human who has a fabulous relationship with food and my body. I have extensive experience in working with eating disorder and disordered eating clients; from inpatients to day program and to outpatients – in the private practice setting. I have worked with hundreds if not thousands of woman to help them overcome their eating disorder, regain control of their life and enjoy food again. What I have noticed however is that the traditional model of seeing clients for an initial consultation, then seeing them over subsequent weeks and months for follow up consultations was certainly not the most effective way for the client to achieve their optimal result in the most condensed timeframe possible. There is a huge portion of time between sessions where questions might be thought of, support or guidance required and the need for accountability is high. I have used my own journey, evidence-based practice, and my own clinical experience to create a program and support service which I wish existed when I was going through recovery, I felt very alone and isolated, like no one really got it. I’m here to let you know that I get it, I truly do; and I would love to hold your hand through the journey from fearing food to food freedom.
