Zest Nutrition Consulting has been my dietetic private practice since 2007.
I have specialised in eating behaviour, emotional eating, disordered eating, eating disorder recovery, fussy eating and body image issues. I have worked through a trauma informed, weight neutral lens.
In 2022 I have decided to focus my ongoing work into clinical supervision of dietitian who wish to work in this space.

Who Am I?
I've always been interested in food, after a foray into the hospitality industry, including a degree in hospitality management, I decided to study nutrition at Western Sydney University and The University of Sydney to become a dietitian.
I've been a dietitian since 2000. I've worked for big corporations and high tech pharmaceutical support programs but I love the one-on-one interaction of private practice the most.
I am a wife and mother, and life is busy. I love eating out, I particularly love Italian and Asian cuisines. I enjoy a glass of wine and an icy cold G&T. I love to cook but I totally understand the difficulties of feeding a family after a busy work day.
I love talking to people, and learning about their lives. I can't count the times someone has said to me "I've never told anyone that" so I'd say I'm a good, non-judgemental, listener.
Outing myself as a non diet dietitian, weight inclusive dietitian has put me somewhat at odds with my profession, my association and the majority of the health world. Listening to my clients lived experience of life in larger bodies and becoming increasingly aware of weight stigma and conflicts of interest in weight focussed research and healthcare makes navigating life as an Accredited Practising Dietitian a tough road some days, but nowhere near as tough as the stories I hear. I truly believe weight inclusive care is the ethical way to practice.
So that's me. A bit ranty, and a bit different. But what you see is what you get. If you are seeking supervision around weight neutral care, virtual practice, setting up a solo practice, returning to practice from maternity leave growing (and shrinking) your practice, diversifying your work with non clinical income streams send me an email, let's chat.
