About
I have been working in a clinical dietitian setting since 2007, after graduating from the University of Sydney. My expertise lies in providing personalised nutrition therapy to address various chronic health concerns, including diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, high cholesterol, fatty liver, high blood pressure, coeliac disease, IBD, and IBS. I also work closely with clients who are looking to lose weight, including those who have had weight loss surgery.
I have completed a Clinical Dietetics for Bariatric Surgery course devised by Dietitians Australia. I am also passionate about providing nutrition therapy to women during perimenopause and menopause, autoimmune diseases and gut health optimisation. I will be providing you with the motivation to improve your lifestyle and build healthy habits, conducting a dietary assessment and working together to tailor an individualised meal plan based on your food preferences, with sessions being practical and hands on.
Approach: Compassionate, accomplished, respectful and experienced (CARE framework). Holistic, evidence-based, personalised and practical. Uses deep listening, considers all factors affecting nutritional status. Nutrition choices should be 'flexible and enjoyable'.
Weight Loss Approach
Holistic, evidence-based approach addressing the complex factors contributing to obesity (biological, psychological, social, economic, etc.). Uses dietary assessment, individualised meal planning based on food preferences, label reading, calorie counting if required, focus on higher protein intake, complex carbohydrates and unsaturated fats.
Addresses emotional eating vs physical hunger and habit/trigger identification. For childhood obesity, focuses on preventing further weight gain rather than weight loss to avoid eating disorders.

Addresses protein requirements, constipation, dehydration, nutrient/vitamin supplementation, dumping syndrome, and weight regain prevention.
