I am a midlife woman, a mum, a business owner and a foodie.
I dedicate myself to understanding how food fits into your whole life. I work with you to find practical solutions to manage your health through your food.
I am a passionate advocate for healthy, balanced, non restrictive eating that makes you feel good.
I’m a dietitian who cares deeply about helping people feel at ease with food and confident in how they nourish themselves.
Before studying dietetics, I explored a few different career paths—so I understand what it’s like to navigate eating without specialist knowledge. That lived experience helps me bring empathy, flexibility, and curiosity to the work I do today.
What I love most is hearing people’s stories—how food fits into your life, your routines, your challenges, and your values. My greatest aim is to help you understand your own unique needs and feel empowered with the knowledge and confidence to nourish yourself in a way that supports your health and wellbeing - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I have specialist training and experience in supporting people with eating disorders, neurodivergence, mental health issues, and gut and digestive health issues. These areas often overlap in complex and personal ways, which is exactly why I’ve developed my expertise across all of them—to offer care that’s informed, compassionate, and holistic.
I’m also a woman in midlife, navigating the wild ride of perimenopause while raising two teen neurodivergent kids, managing a household, running a small business. I spend my after hours being an Uber driver for my kids - they love sport and I love that they love it.
I had a late diagnosis of ADHD myself which explains so much including my many career paths, my love of a project, my fierce protection of justice, and my ability to start fifteen household chores at once and finish none.
I carry a real fire in my belly about the way people in larger bodies are treated — too often with judgement, bias, and shame. This impacts self-esteem, relationships with food and relationships with healthcare.
It’s one of the many reasons I founded The Food and Life Clinic - to provide a space for people and families to talk about their eating experiences, knowing they will receive respectful, person-centred, stigma-free care.

Dietitian mentoring
I offer mentoring support for other dietitians, in particular graduate dietitians who are just starting their career.
Group education
I work with other health organisations and like-minded fitness organisations to deliver education and training on health related nutrition. Sometimes these are bespoke and specific to a need (e.g. people with osteoporosis or people with ADHD) and sometimes it is broad (eating to nourish your body, mind and soul).
If this is something that interests you or your organisation, please reach out!
Research
I have been involved in several research projects for Deakin University on the clinical guidelines for the management of overweight and obesity, and parent focused nutrition programs to improve children's healthy food intake and health outcomes.
I am also the Chair of the Stakeholder Panel at University of Sydney's "Eating Disorders In weight-related Therapy (EDIT) Collaboration", and the Chair of their Weight Stigma Working Group.
