About
Our dietitians are our foodie experts! They are passionate about making food, diets and healthy eating less confusing by providing you with the latest dietetic information and dispelling common diet myths. We take a practical approach to nutrition, with diet sustainability in mind.
Our dietitians spend time getting to know you, your routines and all of the other factors that can affect intake, such as dietary needs and family dynamics. Once collected, we formulate an individualised nutrition treatment plan. Our plans are not only aimed to improve your nutritional status, but also your food organisation skills, eating mechanics and overall health behaviours, to ensure our approach is sustainable, practical and long term.
