Carissa Moroney
Sprout Family Dietetics (consulting at Health Hub Taree)
About
With 15 years of experience as a clinical dietitian, I've had the privilege of working with both individuals and groups to address their unique nutrition and health needs. I've supported countless adults and children within the local health sector and a tertiary hospital. I understand what it feels like to be on the other side of the consulting table – a positive experience where you feel truly heard can make all the difference.
My aim is to validate your experience, take the time to understand your situation, and walk alongside you on your journey. I'm deeply passionate about prevention – working toward a balanced, diverse diet tailored to your individual needs lowers the risk of many health issues and enhances physical and mental well-being. Many nutrition-related problems can be alleviated or reversed with dietary changes.
Eating well is key to living well. No trends – just real, nourishing food to support your body and mind.
Approach: Empathetic, validating and person-centred; aims to make clients feel truly heard and understood; focuses on sustainable, long-term strategies with no fad diets
Weight Loss Approach
Evidence-based, sustainable long-term strategies focused on balanced and diverse diet tailored to individual needs. No fad diets or trends – real, nourishing food to support body and mind. Emphasises prevention and individualised dietary change.
