Hi, I'm Natalie, a dietitian, personal trainer and passionate advocate for a non-diet, inclusive approach to health and wellbeing. With over 15 years in the fitness industry, 8 years experience in nutrition and 2 years as an accredited practicing dietitian (APD), I help clients move away from restrictive mindsets and toward sustainable, enjoyable habits that support their physical and mental health. My practice is grounded in evidence-based care and a strong belief that health is about more than just numbers. I specialise in women's health and have worked extensively with individuals and groups of all genders and backgrounds, creating supportive, personalised solutions that respect all bodies and lifestyles.

Feeling a little off lately? Tired of trying to “eat right” and still not feeling your best? You’re not alone—and I’m here to help. I’m Zané (pronounced Zaa-nee), a registered nutritionist, certified Emotional Release Technique (ERT) practitioner, and Metabolic Balance® coach. I specialise in helping women—especially those over 35—navigate the confusion of nutrition, emotional overwhelm, and hormonal changes so they can reclaim their energy, confidence, and vitality. My mission is to guide you through the noise and into a simple, personalised approach to wellness that works for you—not against you. In my practice, I go far beyond meal plans and calorie counting. I take the time to get to know you—your medical history, blood results, lifestyle, relationship with food, emotional triggers, and your unique goals and preferences. I firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to health. That’s why every recommendation I make is tailored specifically to your needs and backed by the latest scientific evidence. Many of my clients come to me feeling frustrated—doing “all the right things” and still struggling with stubborn weight, mood swings, low energy, or burnout. Often, these symptoms are not just about food or willpower. They’re linked to inflammation, stress, unresolved emotional patterns, and hormone imbalances. That’s where the power of Metabolic Balance® and Emotional Release Technique comes in. Using your individual blood results, we can uncover which foods support your body’s healing, calm inflammation, and restore balance. And through ERT, we gently release emotional blockages that may be holding you back—because true transformation happens on every level. If you’re ready to stop second-guessing what’s “right” for your body and start feeling clear, strong, and connected again—I’d love to support you. You don’t have to do this alone. Book a session with me today, and let’s begin your personalised journey Back to Balance.

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. I like to focus on food as medicine first, alongside lifestyle choices and supplements only if required. When we are focussing on treating symptoms or diseases, we constantly search for any underlying causes, which can be genetic but are often related to nutritional, environmental and lifestyle factors. I like to focus on the mind, body and soul for optimal health. By focusing on each clients mind, body and soul, only then can we truely improve our health and wellbeing. I work with many health issues: Endometriosis - Founder of 'The Freedom From Endo Pain Process' - a 12 Week Program PCOS Menopause Heart health High cholesterol High blood pressure Diabetes Autoimmune diseases Digestive health Weight management Liver health Systemic inflammation Functional Blood Analysis NDIS support for plan or self managed funds Smart DNA testing and GUT microbiome testing.
