About
At The Eatwise Clinic, we are a team of experienced dietitians. We believe in evidence-based advice delivered with practical strategies. We believe in encouraging what you should eat, rather than focusing on what not to eat!
We believe in overall healthy, sustainable, filling meal plans – full of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and high-quality carbohydrates, all supported by scientific evidence. We support everyone in need of nutrition education, counselling, or planning. Our clients span the entire life span, from pre-birth through to end-of-life support.
We see all medical speciality areas and engage with local GPs, allied health professionals, physicians and surgeons. We are not about 'diets'. We are about nutrition counselling and education to support you having the best opportunity to achieve your desired outcome.
Approach: Evidence-based, practical, education-focused; emphasises understanding 'why' behind dietary changes rather than just prescribing restrictions; warm and supportive style noted in client testimonials.

Client Reviews
“Every now and then, you meet someone, and you realise you were meant to meet. Alex, I know my journey is in its infancy, but I wanted to take the time to say thank you! You have given me hope when I didn't think there was anything to hope for. You've given me strength when I've felt weak. You've helped me find beauty when all I saw was ugly. You helped me become a workout girl when all I felt like was a fat treadmill chick. You've given me back to my family when they thought I'd slipped away. But most of all, you've helped me find me again, when I thought I was lost for good. Thank you for being so much more than a dietitian!”
— Helen
“Today I saw my GP, who told me I am the healthiest I've ever been! I am still walking 5 days a week, using my pedometer and following the low GI plan we discussed. I really believe I can continue this forever. I am never going to be 'perfect', but I can be 'splendid' (your words, not mine) most of the time. I would like to thank you for your guidance in bringing me (and my family) into a healthy lifestyle.”
— June
“I'm so very grateful to have you as a part of my treatment team. You have always been empathetic and listened to me, but have also challenged me in ways that have helped me to have breakthroughs. I appreciate how you think outside the box in order to come up with new strategies for me, which help me to keep moving forward in my healing.”
