About
I am the founder of The Climbing Dietitian & head Sports Dietitian and Nutritionist - offering face-to-face consulting in Brisbane & online 1:1 bespoke nutrition coaching Australia-wide. My approach focuses on practicality, individualisation, lifestyle compatibility, and flexible nutrition principles. I want my clients to sustain their efforts & results through a flexible approach to nutrition programming - helping them reach their peak potential without unnecessary food restriction.
I've worked with clients from across Australia on weight loss/fat loss, building muscle mass, sports performance nutrition, gut health, IBS, vegetarian & vegan nutrition, and chronic disease management. I work with both athletes (recreational to elite) and non-athletes including busy parents, FIFO workers, and corporate professionals. Using my Flexible Macro System I help people get sustainable results and break free from restrictive diet practices.
I don't believe in quick-fix solutions or generic cookie-cutter approaches.
Approach: Practical, flexible, individualised, evidence-based, accountability-focused. Anti-restrictive-dieting; uses flexible macros and food freedom principles. Performance-oriented but accessible to non-athletes.
Weight Loss Approach
Flexible nutrition approach using a 'Flexible Macro System' focused on calorie deficit, macronutrient tracking, food freedom, and body positivity. Emphasises individualisation, lifestyle compatibility, sustainable results without unnecessary food restriction, and avoiding restrictive/yo-yo dieting. Does not use cookie-cutter approaches.
