About
The Eatwise Clinic is an ever-expanding team of 4 dietitians. We have been working in the St George and Sutherland Shire areas for over 20 years. With specialist Dietitians focusing on Paediatrics, Bariatric Surgery, Gut Dysfunction, Diabetes, Weight Management, Eating Disorders and other complex presentations, the team are perfectly suited to help with any nutritional concern.
We have all had experience working in major hospitals across Sydney and collectively have over 60 years of experience. We believe in evidence-based advice delivered with practical strategies. We believe in encouraging what you should eat, rather than focusing on what not to eat.
We are about nutrition counselling and education to support you achieving your desired outcome — not about 'diets'. We are Accredited Practising Dietitians, University trained professionals and registered members of Dietitians Australia and the Australia and New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders.
Approach: Welcoming, approachable, empathetic and knowledgeable. Evidence-based with practical strategies. Focuses on education and understanding — helping clients understand why they need to make changes, not just what to change. Described by a client as 'like visiting a friend'.

Client Reviews
“I was fortunate to have been recommended by a friend and colleague to see Julia, and I'm so glad I did. Visiting Julia, even for the first time, was like visiting a friend. Julia is welcoming, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. The slight adjustments to my diet were easy to understand and follow. Julia took the time to explain things, and I learned a whole lot about nutrition that will stay with me for life. I am forever grateful!”

“Today I saw my GP, who told me I am the healthiest I've ever been! I am still walking 5 days a week, using my pedometer and following the low GI plan we discussed. I really believe I can continue this forever. I would like to thank you for your guidance in bringing me (and my family) into a healthy lifestyle.”
— June
“I'm so very grateful to have you as a part of my treatment team. You have always been empathetic and listened to me, but have also challenged me in ways that have helped me to have breakthroughs. I appreciate how you think outside the box in order to come up with new strategies for me, which help me to keep moving forward in my healing.”
