About
Hello! I'm Sandra, an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and a Nutritionist. I have a tertiary Bachelor's degree in Food and Nutrition Sciences and a Master of Dietetics degree.
I take on a holistic approach to promote, educate, and guide well-being through the use of dietary intervention, lifestyle modification and psychological awareness. I use an evidence-based approach to treatment by finding and treating the root cause rather than the presenting symptoms alone. With the right support through holistic healing and dietary intervention, I believe the human body has an incredible way of healing itself within the right environment.
My areas of focus are: Weight Management & Eating Disorders, High Cholesterol & Heart Health, Gut Health including IBS/Coeliac/Colitis, Women's Health & Hormones including PCOS & Endometriosis, Thyroid Health, Mental & Emotional Health, Immune Disorders & Inflammation, Diabetes, Preconception & Fertility, Pregnancy & Prenatal Care and Paediatric and Adolescent Nutrition.
Approach: Holistic, evidence-based, root-cause focused. Warm and empathetic tone (particularly noted in her personal disclosure of her own Endometriosis diagnosis). Emphasises balance, sustainability, and understanding the individual. Takes a whole-body view incorporating nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management.
Weight Loss Approach
Holistic, evidence-based approach that addresses the root cause of weight gain (including hormones, thyroid, stress, emotions, and lifestyle) rather than symptoms alone. Focuses on dietary intervention, lifestyle modification, and psychological awareness. Emphasises balance and sustainability rather than restriction.
