Our nutrition ethos
Nutrition has an immense impact on how we feel in our bodies and minds. We believe a good diet is simple - taking out the drama and going 'back-to-basics' focussing on a range of quality foods cooked in ways that are achievable and sustainable when you're pressed for time, and that you look forward to eating!
We support a scientific evidence-based and integrative-holistic approach. By understanding the factors contributing to your health, the biochemical processes underlying these and drilling down into nutrition & gut-related factors, we can tailor our strategies to address what's holding you back. We work with you to help determine what changes will be of most value given your story, circumstances and preferences - helping you feel confident being in the driving seat for your own nutrition.

We cannot currently assist with:
-
Home enteral nutrition (e.g. tube feeding). If this is a factor you will need another dietitian helping in this area.
-
Counselling focussed on eating disorder recovery - we do not have our ANZAED Eating Disorder Credentials. If you have a dietitian and/or psychologist supporting you in this area we are happy to assist.
