About
Hi, I am Courtney. I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian & Nutritionist specialising in Paediatric Clients and Disability. I completed a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics on the Gold Coast.
I have over 4 years experience working with paediatric clients and within the disability sector. Along with my University qualifications, I am a trained SOS feeding therapist and Monash FODMAP Dietitian. I have a strong passion for working in collaboration with clients and their families to empower and provide them with the tools to improve their overall health through creating specific goals and strategies to achieve optimal nutrition, good food behaviours and much more.
Approach: Collaborative and family-empowering; holistic, personalised and goal-oriented with a focus on reducing mealtime stress and building positive food relationships.
Weight Loss Approach
Paediatric-focused; addresses overweight and obesity in children, teens and young adults through personalised goal-setting, dietary assessment and strategies to improve nutritional intake and food behaviours. Holistic, family-empowerment approach.
