Victoria Lekkas - Dietitian
About
Hi, I'm Victoria, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist (+ a huge foodie) with an immense passion for what I do. I've always especially been passionate about the role nutrition plays in our physical and mental health, especially when it comes to the interplay of the gut-brain connection and the benefits of Mediterranean-style eating. Born and raised in Melbourne in a big, loud Greek family, I've always strongly identified with my heritage.
I now enjoy utilising my vast lived experiences of a holistic Mediterranean lifestyle, combined with my deep knowledge of the role of nutrition in improving our health and wellbeing, to lead my clients to a life free of painful symptoms, stress and unnecessary dieting & restricting. I believe in keeping nutrition simple. My philosophy promotes natural and intuitive eating, reconnecting you with your body and building sustainable habits for long-term success.
Approach: Warm, passionate, holistic; non-diet and intuitive eating focused; Mediterranean lifestyle-inspired; evidence-based but approachable and anti-restrictive
Weight Loss Approach
Natural and intuitive eating philosophy; non-diet approach; reconnecting clients with their bodies and building sustainable habits for long-term success; Mediterranean-style eating; evidence-based nutrition. Opposes restrictive dieting.
