Clinical Nutritionist

Mount Pleasant, Perth or Online Australia Wide

As a clinical nutritionist, my role is to teach you the nutritional knowledge required to make positive dietary and lifestyle changes, reducing the risk of chronic disease and increasing your likelihood of being happy and well.

Based on current scientific research, and a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, I’ll aim to address the cause of your symptoms (physical/mental/emotional) and support you to achieve your individual health goals.

How Can a Clinical Nutritionist Help You?

  • Fatigue

  • Chronic stress, depression and other mental health concerns

  • Health behaviours/co-occurring conditions associated with ADHD

  • Poor sleep

  • Weight concerns

  • Elevated blood pressure (hypertension)

  • Dyslipidemia, including elevated LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.

  • Elevated blood glucose and/or insulin resistance

  • Menstrual disorders and women’s health issues before/after menopause

  • Digestive (gut) issues - IBS, reflux, bloating, cramping, constipation and/or diarrhoea

  • Thyroid, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions

Many of the above issues are symptoms of or risk factors for chronic disease. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2023), more than 49.9% of Australian adults have one or more chronic conditions. Although genetics may play a role in the development of these chronic diseases, each have modifiable risk factors that you can control and each can be reduced with nutritional support.

Whether it’s for assistance with the management or prevention of a specific health condition, or for informed advice on how to optimise your family’s health, everyone can gain from seeing a clinical nutritionist and learning about the healing powers of food. A clinical nutritionist uses scientific research, clinical knowledge and personalised support to assist you with your individual concerns.

What is a Clinical Nutritionist?

Clinical nutritionists are qualified, registered healthcare professionals. We provide individualised, evidence-based dietary and lifestyle recommendations, including the use of quality nutritional supplementation when required, to support personal health goals and various health conditions.

  • I have completed a 3 year university degree (Bachelor of Health Science Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine), including over 350 hours of practical clinical training.

  • I am a registered practitioner with the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA) and the Australian National Register of Accredited Natural Therapists (ANRANT).

    Registration makes clinical nutritionists eligible for health fund rebates. Depending on your level of extras cover, your private health fund may cover some of your nutrition consultations.

    ANTA requires all members to complete a minimum of 20 hours of continuing professional education each year. This ensures I update my clinical skills and professional knowledge to enable the highest standard of health care for YOU.

  • In clinical nutrition, evidenced-based practice (EBP) remains paramount. Nutritionists integrate the latest research, clinical knowledge and individual patient needs, to create personalised dietary plans and interventions. This ensures effective and safe guidance for patients' health and conditions. EBP is a dynamic approach that drives continuous improvement in patient care through up-to-date evidence-backed nutritional strategies.
