Erika Hung
The Lifestyle Dietitian
About
Erika is a dedicated Accredited Practising Dietitian with specialised training in the areas of women's health and gut health. Erika recognises that lifestyle changes can be challenging, so she takes a personalised approach to understand each client's unique lifestyle and needs. She provides practical and individually tailored advice to support health promoting change.
The practice ethos: 'It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change.' The team believes healthy eating should be achievable, sustainable and enjoyable, grounded in science and up-to-date research to make a positive impact on total health — physical, social and psychological.
Approach: Personalised, practical, non-judgmental; recognises lifestyle change is challenging; tailors advice to each client's unique lifestyle and needs; uses motivational interviewing and counselling; non-restrictive and evidence-based.
