Amy Catherine Kellner
The Cosmetic Dietitian (TCD)
About
Amy combines traditional dietetics with nutritional medicine for a comprehensive approach that enhances the body's natural healing processes. Amy's practice focuses exclusively on optimising nutrition for aesthetic surgery patients — a specialised approach that has made her a trusted partner of leading surgeons across Australia. Through remote consultations, Amy provides premium nutritional expertise to clients who understand that exceptional results require exceptional preparation.
Research shows that optimised nutrition can maximise aesthetic outcomes, decrease anaesthesia risks, enhance wound healing, improve scar formation, and accelerate recovery. Amy will work alongside your selected Plastic or Cosmetic Surgeon to get you into the best possible shape for your surgery. Amy is a firm believer in moderation, enjoying life, but feeling healthy and confident within your own skin — helping you build the skills necessary to maintain your results forever.
Approach: Holistic and integrative, patient-centred, evidence-based, sustainable and enjoyable (not restrictive), collaborative with surgeons, personalised to individual needs and preferences.
