Welcome, I’m Really Glad You're Here!
Eating disorder & disordered eating dietian specialising in binge eating,
body image healing to support your food freedom journey.
How I got here
I'm a firm believer of the anti-diet, weight-neutral, and trauma-informed HAES framework
Beause I've seen how freedom, compassion, and evidenced-based care transform lives far more than diets & body goals ever could
Anti-Diet
Coming from traditional healthcare training, I used to prescribe meal plans and portion control—until I saw how the rules themselves were the problem.
Anti-diet means letting go of 'good' and 'bad' foods, earning your meals, or using willpower to stay in control. When food loses its moral labels, there's no guilt, no forbidden pull—just freedom to eat and enjoy.
What's different: You can't heal your relationship with food whilst still trying to control it."
Person-Centred care
You're the expert on your life—I'm only here to guide
You've probably had professionals tell you exactly what to eat, when to exercise, and how to 'fix' yourself. That approach assumes they know your body better than you do.
Person-centred care flips that: you're the expert on your life, your body, and what works for you. I bring the skills, frameworks, and evidence—but you make the decisions.
This means our work together is:
Collaborative – we figure things out together, not me prescribing from above
Compassionate – replacing self-criticism with curiosity and kindness
Individualised – what works is shaped by your life, culture, preferences, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all protocol
What's different: Lasting change doesn't come from following someone else's rules. It comes from reconnecting with your own wisdom and building skills that fit your life.
Whole Person Approach
Binge eating isn't just about food—and healing isn't either
Binge eating doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's connected to your emotions, stress, relationships, sleep, life transitions, nervous system—all of it.
A whole-person approach means we don't just focus on what's on your plate. We look at:
- What's happening in your life (work stress, relationship struggles, major transitions)
- How your body is coping (nervous system regulation, sleep, chronic health conditions)
- What you're feeling (emotions that drive the urge to binge)
- Your history (past dieting, trauma, cultural messages about food and bodies)
What's different: When we address what's actually driving the behaviour—not just the symptom—healing goes deeper and lasts longer.
Weight-Neutral Approach
Your weight, BMI, or body shape don't determine your health, worth, or attractiveness.
Reestriction fuels bingeing. And there's no truly non-restrictive way to intentionally lose weight.
Trying to heal your relationship with food whilst focusing on weight loss is like building trust with someone who keeps criticising you—it doesn't work.
Instead, we focus on behavioural changes and mindset shifts—the things that actually improve your health and quality of life—and let your weight settle where your body is most metabolically comfortable.
What's different: When weight is off the table, you can finally focus on what actually helps—reconnecting with your body's signals and needs."
Inclusive & Trauma-Informed Care
Healing starts with safety and autonomy.
When your doctor blames everything on your weight.
When influencers shame you for eating carbs.
When you grow up never seeing your body type, skin colour, sexuality and gender identity—or culture—being honoured.
How are you supposed to trust your body, when the world keeps telling you are in a wrong body?
When you don’t feel safe in your body or around food, you fight it, rebel, shut down—or try to fit in. That’s how food and body struggles take over.
What's different: In my practice, I create space where all parts of you are welcomed and respected— physically, identity, emotionally - so you can rebuild trust with food and body on your terms.
Health At Every Size Principle
Growing evidence shows weight and BMI are poor predictors of health—and that health-promoting behaviours matter more than the number on the scale.
Health At Every Size is built on 5 principles:
Weight inclusivity – respecting body diversity
Health enhancement – improving access to care for all bodies
Respectful care – challenging weight stigma in healthcare
Eating for wellbeing – flexible, attuned eating based on hunger and satisfaction
Life-enhancing movement – joyful movement, not punishment
What's different: When weight is no longer the focus, health becomes something you can build with freedom, compassion, and trust.

What I Can Help With
It's not just about binge eating - it's about living a life of true freedom
How I'd like to work with you
As a binge eating specialist dietitian, my goal is to help you un-trap your best years in food and body struggles and start living a life full of dreams, goals and freedom.
I focus on more than just nutrition - I'll guide you through a deeper healing by challenging limiting beliefs, breaking free from self-criticism. Together, we'll address the whole package: body, mind and behaviours.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. With experience in both research and clinical pracitce, I know what works in theory doesn't always work in practice. Recovery isn't linear - it's messy, beautiful and unique to you.
That's why I want to help you find the right strategies for you. We'll work together to figure out what clicks for your body, lifestyle, and long-term happiness. No rules. No gimmicks. Just you, living a life free from the constant pull of food struggles
Few Fun Facts About Me
I was born at 53 weeks of gestation
It freaked everyone out! As my mum was only 19, she was scared to do a C-section, so I stayed in my mum's womb for a whole extra trimester
My sister is my best friend
We are pretty much twins - went to the same schools all the way to uni. Later we went to different cities for grad school and I moved down to Melbourne right after graduation.
I love vegetables, but I'm a huge picky eater
I have some of the weirdest picky eating - soy sauce, ketchup, raw tomato (but I love tomato based pasta), pumpkins, most juices, and pickled and fermented foods. And for some reasons, raw coconut product upset my guts, but cooked are fine
