About Me
I have been fortunate to enjoy an active lifestyle growing up on the Northern Beaches with family and friends who incorporate healthy eating and exercise into daily life. Therefore, I appreciate the importance of nutrition and fuelling your body for activity, long-term health, optimal energy levels, brain function and feeling your best. This led me to study to become an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD).
Over my career I have worked extensively in the acute care setting working with paediatrics to geriatrics with both acute and chronic complex conditions. Interest areas that I have dedicated expanding my knowledge to are infant and children’s health, disordered eating, eating disorders, and I enjoy helping those balancing busy working and family lives.
I provide personalised, realistic, evidence-based advice to best assist you to develop knowledge, skills and strategies around food and nutrition. I don’t believe in restrictive or fad diets that can be detrimental to long-term health and eating patterns, but rather working towards having a positive relationship with food which is essential to achieving and maintaining health and nutrition goals. I enjoy getting to know the person as a whole, including their background and values in their day-to-day lives that have meaning as to why they are prioritising their health and wellness.
