experience in binge eating, eating disorder & body image recovery

I help professionals break free from binge eating & food obsession
so you get your life back - without diet, willpower or self-control

How I got here

My Approach

The way I work is shaped by a set of beliefs that I think are essential for binge eating recovery from working as a binge eating dietitian for years.

Because I've seen how freedom, compassion, and evidenced-based care transform lives far more than diets & body goals ever could

Anti-Diet - Food rules make it worse, not better

I take an anti-diet approach, which doesn't mean I don't care about your health, it means I don't believe restriction and rules are the answer.

For people with binge eating, rigid food rules (e.g. "good"vs "bad foods, "can't eat carb naked", "clean eating") almost always trigger the cycle, not break it. We work on building a relationship with food that doesn't feel like a battle.

Person-Centred - You are the expert of your life

I take a percent-centred approach in my session, which means I'm not here to direct your life and make decisions for you.

While I know more about food, nutrition, eating behaviours, you know how your body responds the best.

My job is to listen, understand what's going on specifically and offer tools and perspective that you can choose to take or leave. Nothing is prescribed, everything is offered.

Health At Every Size - Health in your own terms

I am an HAES-aligned practitioner, which means I believe everyone, regardless of body size, shape and weight, deserves compassionate, non-judgemental health care.

Visiting a health professional should feel empowering, not daunting and expecting to be told your body is the problem.

Food and body struggle is a bio-psycho-SOCIAL issue. And HAES is the social movement to improve social justice, fight against weight stigma to provide care where people feel empowered and motivated.

Internally-Informed - A body-led eating style

Pop health and eating culture focus on logic, brain-over-body approach (Top-down), but overriding our bodies is exactly what lead to more struggle around food and body.

I help my clients to develop an internally-informed style of eating, which is to pay attention to how different ways to approach food and eating have an impact on your hunger-fullness, mood, energy, state of mind, laboratory outcome and everyday tasks/activities.

It's all about gathering and connecting information, and your body naturally needs and crave for all nutrients to thrive when given a safe environment to do so.

Weight-Neutral - Your weight isn't the focus

I take a weight neutral stance, which means I won't weigh you, I don't change my approach and advice because of your weight and weight change will likely not be the main goal of our sessions.

This isn't about ignoring your health, it's about recognising weight =/= health. And focusing on a body size, shape or weight is often keep the binge-restrict cycle going.

We focus on how you feel, how to best support your activity and life instead of how much you weigh

Trauma-Informed - Your experience matters

I was trained in trauma-informed care which means that I understand how your past and daily experiences shape your eating and your trust in food and self.

Difficult situations, whether big or small, can shape your nervous system, and show up in how you eat and relate to food and body.

While I'm a dietitian and it's not within my scope of practice to work on your traumas. I hold that context carefully while forming strategies, because healing starts from safety and autonomy.

Neurodivergent-Affirming - Tailored for your neurobiology

I am a neuro-affirming provider, which means I recognise many people who struggle with food works in different neurobiology that requires tailored solutions.

ADHD, autism, anxiety, and many other neurodivergent traits affects how we relate to food and body, from sensory challenges, impulsivity to unable to connect with interoception.

We work with your neurobiology, not against it.

Gender & Sexuality-Affirming - Who you are matters

I provide gender- and sexuality-affirming care, which means I create space to explore difficulties and lived experiences you have.

How you live in your body is deeply personal, and the intersection of a marginalised identity, body image and food issues is real and common. You never need to edit yourself in the session

I'm also trained to provide nutrition support for people experiencing gender dysphoria, going through gender therapy/surgery, managing HIV, STIs, and live in a body with related experiences and trauma.

It's not just about binge eating - it's about living a life of true freedom

How I'd like to work with you

If you are expecting a dietitian appointment being: weigh-in, food diary review, here's your plan, see you next month. I'm not the right person for you.

I do a lot of listening. We talk about your history with food and your body, what's going on emotionally, where the urges tend to show up and what they might be telling you. These paint us a better bigger picture and guide us to a more accurate plan.

Recovered from binge eating, I fall in love with working with intersection between food, body and other aspects. I draw on counselling, somatic (body-based) practices, and nutrition. Your body, your emotions, and your eating are all connected, and I work with all of them.

We work as a team. I won't hand you a meal plan and expect you to follow it. I won't make you feel like you've failed if something doesn't work. Instead, I want our work to be the place where I can offer you tools, perspectives, and practices and you get to choose what fits.

Few Fun Facts About Me

Malcolm - Binge Eating Dietitian eating icecream

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/shakshuka), pumpkins, most juices, and pickled and fermented foods. And for some reasons, raw coconut product upset my guts, but cooked are fine
