Dietetics Done Differently
About
At Dietetics Done Differently, we offer a holistic approach that focuses on nervous system regulation and capacity building, supporting you in changing your eating habits. We are trauma-informed Accredited Practising Dietitians and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinicians. We don't centre weight loss as a primary treatment goal, because we know weight doesn't equate to health and wellbeing is shaped by so many factors.
We work from an abundance over restriction viewpoint, focusing on flexibility, permission, neutral language around food, reducing moral judgement, and maintaining food variety. We support LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodiverse individuals, and NDIS participants. Consultations available in person in Melbourne as well as online, video call, and telehealth.
Approach: Trauma-informed, non-judgmental, client-centred, holistic, compassionate. Uses nervous system regulation and capacity-building framework. Abundance-over-restriction philosophy. Particularly experienced with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients.
Weight Loss Approach
Does not centre weight loss as a primary treatment goal. Believes weight does not equate to health and focuses on nutrition adequacy, muscle mass, sleep, stress, relationship with food, mental wellbeing, social connection, and sustainable movement. Uses an abundance-over-restriction approach with flexible, permission-based, non-judgmental language around food.
Trauma-informed and evidence-based.
Yes. Supports clients considering or already using GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy). Offers: exploration of motivations without judgment, protecting nutritional adequacy (energy, protein, micronutrients), supporting digestive comfort with food strategies, and safeguarding relationship with food. Particularly highlights value of eating-disorder-credentialed support for those with history of disordered eating. Does not prescribe medication — supports patients prescribed GLP-1s by their GP.
