About
Whilst completing the Master of Nutrition & Dietetics at Deakin University in 2001, I met my future Diet Solutions business partner Jaci Barrett. We remained friends after graduating and then joined forces in 2013. I have a strong clinical interest in gastrointestinal health and work closely with clients experiencing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional gut disorders, food intolerances, and other ongoing digestive concerns.
What fascinates me most is how the gut microbiome plays a role in how we feel, both physically and emotionally. I have worked across both clinical and private practice settings in Melbourne and the UK, and have also served as a consultative dietitian for Deakin University and Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food program. Every individual's relationship with food is unique, and my approach is grounded in listening to each person's story.
I aim to help clients build confidence, clarity, and a more positive connection with food — one that supports both their physical and emotional wellbeing.
Approach: Warm, empathic listener; person-centred; grounded in understanding individual stories; describes herself as 'Listener. Whimsical. Mover. Circumspect.'
Weight Loss Approach
Evidence-based, person-centred approach addressing weight concern; also offers a non-diet approach for those with a negative relationship with food or yo-yo dieting history; focuses on building confidence and a positive connection with food
