Eating for health without rules
Clinical Dietitians for General & Chronic Condition Nutrition Support (Without Food Rules)
Managing health conditions doesn't require rigid meals and food rules. Work with an non-diet dietitians who is informed by medical nutrition, food, and behaviour change to develop your own style of eating for health.
For diabetes, cholesterol, pcos/pmos, fertility & gut health...
You might have seen...
A list good and bad foods online convincing you some foods are absolutely "no-no", portion sizes, label reading, kill all the fun around food, weight loss and stick to a perfect healthy mediterranean diet is the only option to manage your chronic conditions.
Well, that's not true. At least that's not how my clients reverse their conditions
We don't hand you a list of bad food and ask you to cut them
Eating for health or managing a health condition doesn't mean punishing yourself at the table.
Most people assume that there's only one way to eat to manage a chronic condition. And all it takes is a list of foods to avoid, a meal plan to follow, willpower to stick.
But as an experienced clinical dietitian, I was trained to understand the principles of how food and body works - and that knowledge opens up MORE opportunities. There's rarely just one way to eat for a health condition. Once you know the principles, there's room to adapt to your life, not the other way around
So in my practice, I don't fit people into cookie-cutter strategies or plans, because when we help you make changes as a human, instead of a set of symptoms, change gets easier and stick.
No food is off-limits. No food should induce guilt. No food should be "don't tell your dietitian"

What we focus on
We don't sit there to tell you how bad some foods are then give you a plan and call it done
Food and Nutrition Knowledge
We use science to explain why things happen, not to dictate what food is right or wrong. When you know the science, you have flexibility around eating for health
Psychology of eating
Why you eat the way you do, how you feel around food matters as much as what you eat. We dig into beliefs, habits and emotions that shape your relationship with food
behavioural change
Dietitians' unique role is more than being an expert in food and nutrition, but the skill we have to help you find motivation, break the barrier to make actual behavioural changes.
with you in mind
We practice in weight inclusive, trauma-informed, neurological- & gender- affirming approach and considering your wider bio-psycho-social factors into creating strategies.
Hey, I'm Malcolm!
I know how urgent and needed it feels to stay with eating good. In my 18 years of living with an eating disorder, the diet culture was like a dark cloud following me around. Not until when I learned and practiced intuitive eating, I felt like I was not the problem, and being able to enjoy food and life again.
My approach is grounded in Health at Every Size principles, non-diet approach, trauma-informed care and lived experience. As a trained Intuitive Eating Counsellor expanded my skillset and understanding to provide aid not only in nutrition, but also in emotional wellbeing and body image concerns.
Now as an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, I help people to enjoy food again, set up a personalised system to appraoch food, nutrition, body, movement and health, so food becomes easy and enjoying life becomes the priority.
Kind Words From Clients
What makes working with a non-diet dietitian different?
Training in a traditional dietitian model, I found it frustrating to help my clients to eat for health with a set procedure of assessment, education, swapping your favourite food out. Because that's 1) not sustainable; 2) don't acknowledge the complexity of behaviour change and habit; 3) not enjoyable
Straight From the Source
Working with a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor (CIEC) means you're guided by someone who has completed 80+ hours of study, weeks of supervision by the original creators, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, ensuring the framework is applied as it was intended.
Non-Diet, Weight-Inclusive Practice
No Calorie targets. No routine weigh-ins. No framing health promoting intervention as a weight loss tool. This is a clinically grounded posiiton, to support long term success.
Diet Culture Literacy
Many intuitive eating advocates are doing great job on promoting it, but when it comes to guiding people, it's common to mislook or fall for diet culture trap, because it's sneaky. A trained IE counsellor are trained to spot diet culture from miles away so you won't get diet advice disguised as food freedom.
Understand Medical Nutrition + Intuitive Eating
As a trained dietitian and IE counsellor, I support people to practice intuitive eating AND manage their health conditions, whether it's diabetes, PCOS, IBS, etc, without restrictions or rules, when the diet culture tells you that's the only way.

What do sessions look like
Initial Asssessment
A thorough nutrition assessment include understanding your health and social history, relationship with food, body, exercise, food intake, preference and behaviours as well as identifying your strengths to foster changes.
These will inform how we develop our plan and strategies. Sometimes it might be broken down into multiple sessions.
review sessions
Ongoing review sessions are designed to check in, evaluate strategies and experiments, adjust strategies, and continue to build on the foundations.
Habits and changes takes smaller steady step to become sustainable, so it sticks and continue to work with you without constantly coming back to dietitian consults
collaborative care
If available, we will collaborate with your care team: doctor, psychologist, physiotherapists or other health professionals to make sure your care is tailored to you
With your consent, we will be doing report writing, communication, discussing plan outside sessions on behalf of you.
Common Questions & Concerns I Hear
What's the differences between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
Intuitive Eating has been shown to improve diet quality in multiple folds:
1. Heal relationship with food: when food no longer being the only source to sooth, distract, numb or control, you are able to stick to your eating.
2. Demoralising food: moralising foods as "bad" actually triggers "forbidden fruit effect" - making them more desirable. When all foods are equal, your body don't get swayed by the forbidden feelings
3. Marring nutrition and satisfaction: it means that your food choice is nutrition informed, but guided by your satisfaction, and we help you connect the dots how your body feels after eating different food to learn what your body need - and they need a balanced diet.
How many sessions will I need?
Yes, definitely in most cases. Intuitive eating can be married into medical nutrition therapy seamlessly. We help clients practice intuitive eating while managing/treating: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, diabetes, PCOS, gut concerns, etc.
Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?
In intuitive eating, changing your weight isn't a goal. Instead, we focus on behaviours, health, nutrition and mindset that help you maximise your health, wellbeing and quality of life. And during this time, your weight will naturally shift to a point that's metabolically most healthy and happy for your genetic and body.
Will you put me on a diet or recommend weight loss?
Honestly? It varies.
It really depends on your current relationship with food, health conditions, history of dieting, underlying mental health factor and issues that might come up in the course. I take a very personalised approach with my clients.
Some people feel meaningfully different in a few months; for others, it can take longer to unlearning and/or working through different issues. We go at the pace your nervous system needs
