I'm Abbey, an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Nutritionist. Lover of all things food, cooking and nourishing our bodies, mind, and community. I take an evidence-based, real food approach to nutrition.
I believe everyone should learn the skill of cooking and love inspiring my clients to get in the kitchen and learn to love food and cooking. I have a special interest in gut health and IBS, mental health and nutrition for individuals with disabilities. I am a Monash FODMAP trained dietitian and love helping clients take control of their IBS and enjoy food again.
My unique services step outside the traditional clinic room and incorporate virtual programs, real foodie chat, recipes and cooking as much as possible. This is with the aim to not only educate and empower you but truly INSPIRE you to think about food, health and nutrition differently.
Approach: Passionate, foodie-focused, practical and empowering. Culinary and cooking-centred approach to nutrition. Aims to inspire joy in food alongside evidence-based clinical guidance.
Weight Loss Approach
Evidence-based, real food approach with a culinary and foodie focus. Incorporates personalised meal plans with calorie and macronutrient targets where relevant. Emphasis on cooking skills, enjoyment of food, and sustainable healthy eating habits rather than restrictive dieting.
