Whilst completing the Master of Nutrition & Dietetics at Deakin University in 2001, I met my future Diet Solutions business partner Jaci Barrett. We remained friends after graduating and then joined forces in 2013. Since then our business and families have grown-up and grown bigger together. I love that now we have the opportunity to work alongside each other and within such a knowledgeable, empathic and driven team.
Outside of dietetics, my happy place exists moving in nature and music. I love all things food - the making, the sharing (and the eating).
Listener. Whimsical. Mover. Circumspect.
I have spent many years in clinical dietetics and private practice in Melbourne and in the UK and has been a consultative dietitian for Deakin University and Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food program.
I believe food and nutrition play such a significant role in people's identity and social connection - everyone's experience and relationship with food is different and individual. Listening to people's stories and assisting them to establish the most healthy relationship with food is a strong focus of my interactions with clients.
We have one word for you. VARIETY.
Concerned about getting enough protein on a plant based diet? No need.
Think you can only get enough protein from meat? Think again.
A 2 ingredient snack (that looks like sashimi - but it's not) & gives you some super nutrients? Yes.
Do your bit to help the environment and save some $$ at the same time.
The keto diet is everywhere but that does that mean you should do it?
Kefir – it’s everywhere you look. But is kefir healthy?
