Areas of Practice

  • Eating disorders are characterized by abnormal eating behaviors, body image distress, and an intense preoccupation with food, weight, or shape, often resulting in serious physical and psychological consequences. Early, intensive treatment is associated with the best recovery outcomes, but appropriate support at every stage of the illness is essential - because recovery is possible. Using a range of evidence-based practices, we work alongside you or your loved one to take brave, meaningful steps toward lasting recovery.

  • We understand how overwhelming and damaging societal and media-driven beauty ideals can be. Our approach focuses on cultivating body neutrality, helping you move beyond appearance to appreciate and honour your body. Using evidence-based strategies, including cognitive behavioral techniques, we work together to quiet self-criticism and build a kinder, more accepting relationship with your body.

  • Have you struggled with weight your whole life? Do you think about food 24/7? Are you constantly on a diet only to be derailed by overeating? Do you feel addicted to certain foods? Do you live in fear of gaining weight? Do you constantly compare your body to others? We can help you understand the restrict-binge cycle, eat a wide variety of foods without guilt or fear and have more energy for other things in life. Disordered eating affects our day to day life through rigid food rules and shame/guilt related to eating. Using a non diet approach we can teach you a more positive relationship with food and your body.

  • Has the diagnosis of PCOS really got you down? Are you afraid you will never again be able to eat your favourite foods? Would you like help regulating your menstrual cycle and reducing symptoms of fatigue, acne and mood swings? The non diet approach brings awareness, nourishment and balance into each meal and allows you to have greater trust in your body so that you can eat the foods that work for your body, optimising both health and wellbeing.

  • Individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience nutrition related challenges linked to executive functioning difficulties, including irregular eating patterns, poor meal planning, and limited food variety. Our approach addresses these barriers through practical, evidence informed strategies that support consistent nourishment, blood glucose regulation, and nutrient adequacy. We consider the impact of core ADHD symptoms on eating behaviors, such as impulsivity, inattention, and sensory sensitivities, and tailor interventions accordingly. Support may include optimizing intake of key nutrients (e.g., iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids), addressing disordered eating patterns, and simplifying nutrition to reduce overwhelm and support long-term adherence.

  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a complex eating disturbance often driven by sensory sensitivities, fear-based avoidance (e.g., choking, vomiting), or a lack of interest in eating. Our nutrition support is grounded in evidence-informed practice and tailored to each individual's presentation. We collaborate to assess nutritional adequacy, identify safe foods, and support gradual exposure to increase dietary variety in a way that respects the client’s pace and autonomy. We work closely with multidisciplinary teams when appropriate and aim to reduce anxiety around food while supporting functional eating and overall wellbeing.

  • Are you spinning your wheels in the mud trying to create momentum in your practice but not going anywhere? Are you suffering fatigue and burn out from trying to ‘help fix’ your clients ‘problems’? Would you like to experience more ease and enjoyment in your practice? Would you like support in blending Evidence Based Practice with a holistic, person centred approach? Our monthly membership program for Dietitians ‘Hold Space Collective’ can help you overcome these struggles and help you flourish in both your personal and professional life, providing ongoing support along the journey.

Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. It’s one of the bravest things you can do. And it can save your life.
