If you have stumbled across this page looking for compassionate nutrition counselling without judgement, and a dietitian who will take the time to listen to you - you’re in the right place.
I established Fresh Approach to Wellness over eight years ago to bring specialised dietetic services to Melbourne’s western suburbs with a focus on Eating Disorders, Body Image and Weight Concerns. I have also branched out across to the East recently offering consultations in Hawthorn, and working in the Eating Disorders Day Program at The Melbourne Clinic.
My consultations are a safe place for you to discuss your relationship with food and your body. As a dietitian, my passion is still around assisting you with your nutritional intake, but this is done via a gentler and less critical approach.
I aim to connect with my clients in a way that fosters trust, understanding and compassion. Eating can be tough, and finally deciding that it’s time to seek support to stabilise your eating habits can be very overwhelming. My knowledge and experience in working with clients who have disordered eating patterns and extreme body dissatisfaction mean that you don’t have to rock up to our sessions and wonder if I “get it”. I do. I have learnt more from my clients than I ever could have from any book or course, so to all of my current and previous clients – thank you!
A non-diet approach is used in my consultations for clients who present with weight concerns.
People would so often walk in at our initial meeting and say to me “I know what I SHOULD eat but I just can’t stick to it”. The majority of clients coming to see me are desperate to fix their bodies. They come along with histories of emotional eating, food obsession, body dissatisfaction and binge eating tendencies. Many have memories of these patterns starting in early childhood, being placed on their first diets before reaching their teen years, their weight increasing after each failed diet only leading to more distress and frustration. You are not alone in what you are going through, I hear you, and I would love to help you jump out of the viscous diet cycle.
If you have seen other nutrition professionals in the past who put you on yet another diet and measured your progress in notches on the measuring tape or kilos on the scale, this time around will be different.
