I am a Dietitian (APD), Registered Nutritionist, Certified Intuitive Eating Coach, and Credentialed Eating Disorders Clinician in Orange, Dubbo and throughout the Central West. I have a strong focus on trauma-informed care and how health, diet, lifestyle, life-experiences and our environment impact our mental, physical, social and emotional well-being. My underlying philosophy is that of Health at Every Size and I come from a 'non-diet' perspective.
I believe everyone knows what is right for them if they can learn to hear what their body is telling them. I meet you where you are at, and slowly teach you to trust what your body is telling you. I aim to foster a safe and supportive space where all people feel seen and heard and ultimately empowered in their health journey.
As a country girl, I am keen to bring services to people out in the bush, where medical and health care is often in short supply.
Approach: Warm, open-hearted, non-judgemental, trauma-informed, HAES and non-diet focused. Comfortable with challenging topics. Meets clients where they are. Described as passionate and coming from a place of genuine desire to understand each client's journey. Neurodiversity-affirming.
Non-diet approach and Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy. Primary focus on Intuitive Eating and internally regulated eating - learning to recognise hunger and fullness cues. Explicitly rejects calorie counting, food weighing, and restrictive diets as long-term solutions.
Comprehensive assessment of underlying medical factors (insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, thyroid issues, medications, genetics, emotional/psychological factors). Will provide more structured dietary plans on a case-by-case basis for medical conditions (e.g.
diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Aims to shift focus from weight goals to health goals (blood pressure, cholesterol, energy, mood). Trauma-informed care approach.
