Hey, we're Laura and Pip, Accredited Practising Dietitians and co-founders of Flora Health, a Newcastle-based clinic specialising in women's health, paediatric, and family nutrition. We provide evidence-based nutrition care for women, children, and families across Newcastle and the Hunter region. Our services include women's health support, paediatric and family nutrition, and eating disorder or disordered eating recovery.
Our goal? To help you quiet your inner food critic, ditch the food guilt, and ease the mental load, so that food feels simple, not stressful, to help you live a fuller, healthier life. We help make food feel easier, less overwhelming, and more doable through flexible nutrition support that grows with you.
Our advice is practical, evidence-based, and always judgement-free.
Approach: Warm, compassionate, evidence-based, judgement-free, collaborative. Focused on reducing mental load around food and supporting clients to feel confident and in control of their wellbeing.
Weight management is listed as an area of practice, but the clinic's primary focus is on reducing food-related mental load, food freedom, and evidence-based nutrition rather than explicit weight loss. No specific weight loss methodology (e.g.
calorie deficit, HAES) is described. The approach is non-diet leaning, judgment-free, and focused on sustainable habits.
