Naina is an anti-diet dietitian who cares deeply about helping people feel at ease with food, their body, and health. They have a strong interest in supporting people with diabetes through a whole-person approach — looking at the mind, body, and intuition together, not just numbers or diets. Naina uses a weight-inclusive approach, meaning they support health and wellbeing without focusing on weight or size. They enjoy helping people explore movement and self-care in ways that feel natural and enjoyable. Naina also has a special interest in supporting people who are culturally diverse and neurodivergent whilst living with chronic conditions, like diabetes. While they don’t have all the answers, Naina values lived experience and will always do their best to listen and learn alongside their clients. She is curious about how health is shaped not only by food and exercise, but also by the bigger picture — such as culture, access to healthcare, stress, and the environment we live in. Naina has worked in hospitals, mental health services, and community settings across Australia. They believe in walking side by side with clients, focusing on what matters most to each person, rather than setting strict rules or goals. Naina is warm, down-to-earth, and committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

Nutritional Medicine is founded on the principle that nutrients, including essential micronutrients, are vital for the functioning of all the biochemical processes within our bodies.
