About
At Simply Women's Nutrition there are three guiding principles: Keep it simple — I aim to keep nutrition simple, easy and uncomplicated. Empowering you — I strive to empower you through listening to your story and providing you with the knowledge you need to control your own health. Evidence-based — I work hard to stay up to date with the current scientific evidence.
We want to help you improve your relationship with food and educate you on the ways it can improve your health, without cutting out any unnecessary foods. We take a balanced approach to nutrition because eating shouldn't be hard. I am passionate about women's health, which has led me to pursue a PhD in PCOS and lifestyle management at Monash University.
Approach: Simple, empowering, evidence-based, non-diet, non-weight focused, balanced and holistic. Guided by client goals; adds foods rather than restricts.
Weight Loss Approach
Non-diet, non-weight approach. Focuses on adding foods rather than restricting, improving relationship with food, and using health indicators beyond weight (e.g.
how you feel, bowel movements, blood results). Evidence-based and individualised. Discourages reliance on scales.
