Working with a dietitian doesn't just mean cutting foods out of your diet and creating strict rules and plans to follow. Dietitians can provide a clinical assessment and practical suggestions to create a way of eating that suits your lifestyle and helps meet your goals. Seeing a dietitian allows a longer consult to get to know your needs and barriers and help overcome them and design a way of eating that suits you.
They can help turn a way you 'should' eat into a way you choose to eat. Sally's style of nutrition intervention focuses on understanding individual needs, identifying barriers and challenges and developing frameworks, habits and systems to coach clients to take ownership of individualised strategies to reach the goal they have set for themselves. You don't need to be an athlete to benefit from Sally's expertise.
Approach: Coaching-oriented, individualised, habit and system-based. Embraces mistakes as learning opportunities. Focuses on sustainable long-term change rather than prescriptive plans. Warm and supportive with a practical, science-based foundation drawn from elite sport.
Weight Loss Approach
Behavioural change and habit-building focused. Explicitly states meal plans alone do not work for weight loss. Focuses on understanding individual internal and external factors (metabolism, lifestyle, environment, sleep, travel, routine), identifying barriers, and developing personalised frameworks and systems.
Emphasises sustainable, long-term changes rather than rigid rules. Believes diet should complement life, not rule it. Uses a coaching model to help clients take ownership of their food decisions.
