Welcome…

I am so glad you are here

As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, my approach is rooted in a weight-inclusive, non-diet philosophy, which embraces all bodies and diverse experiences. With my own lived experience with navigating eating disorders and neurodivergence, I specialise in offering supportive nutrition counselling that honours the unique journey of each individual.

I pride myself on providing an affirming, compassionate, and warm environment, where we can work together to cultivate a healthy relationship with food, body, and self. Whether you're navigating eating difficulties and challenges, disordered eating, looking for nutrition support for neurodivergence, or seeking a more balanced, sustainable approach to wellness, my goal is to empower you in your personal journey.

Let's explore, empower, and support one another.
