About
I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian specialising in gut health, eating concerns and nutrition for mental health. As a 'non-diet' dietitian, I am passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food so they can enjoy the foods they love and at the same time achieve better health. I support my clients to achieve their goals through a non-judgemental, weight-inclusive and trauma-informed approach.
Alongside seeing my clients, I also work as a research fellow in the area of nutritional psychiatry, which investigates the link between diet and mental health. I am passionate about bringing my clients the latest groundbreaking research to improve their health.
Approach: Non-judgemental, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, evidence-based, non-diet philosophy focused on healing relationship with food
Weight Loss Approach
Non-diet, weight-inclusive approach. Focuses on healing relationship with food rather than restrictive dieting. Explicitly avoids long-term restrictive diets.
Uses a trauma-informed, non-judgemental framework. Weight management is listed as an area of practice but the primary philosophy is non-diet/HAES-aligned.
