About
With extensive training in the non-diet approach, Nicole is passionate about guiding clients away from the dieting mindset and towards making peace with food. Bite Into Freedom is Australia's dedicated online eating disorder dietitian clinic, providing evidence-based recovery support via telehealth Australia-wide. Our clinicians specialise in complex feeding behaviours and provide evidence-based care to support lasting nutritional rehabilitation.
We treat the full spectrum of eating disorders including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, and OSFED.
Approach: Compassionate, weight-neutral, non-diet, evidence-based, Health At Every Size, intuitive eating, judgment-free, client-centred.
Weight Loss Approach
Weight-neutral, non-diet approach, Health At Every Size (HAES), intuitive eating. The clinic explicitly focuses on food freedom and does not centre weight loss; weight-inclusive care is a core principle.
