Lotus Health + Nutrition utilises evidence-based, clinical nutritional medicine to address a wide variety of health concerns and conditions, to help you achieve optimal health.
Although we work in many areas of clinical nutrition + dietetic medicine , we specialise in a number of conditions and principles:
Baby, toddler + children’s health
Nutrients play an important role in healthy development and growth, from birth to adolescence and into adulthood. We can support your child with:
- breast + formula feeding support
- weaning onto solid foods
- fussy eating + problem feeding
- digestive issues (reflux, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, food sensitivities + allergies)
- sleep, behavioural + mood problems
- healthy motor + cognitive development
- nurturing a positive relationship with food + healthy body image

- irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease + ulcerative colitis

Healthy body image + Intuitive eating
We promote a non-diet approach to nutrition, creating a healthy attitude towards eating and body image.
We teach you to:
- reject diet culture + the food police
- stop obsessing, restricting + demonising foods
- listen to your body’s biological hunger cues + honour your fullness
- discover satisfaction + joy in eating
- make peace with food
- respect your body + love yourself for who you are
- honour your health + nourish your body
Plant-based nutrition
We have a special interest in plant-based nutrition and its role in managing chronic health conditions and reducing autoimmune disease symptoms.
We also specialise in plant-based nutrition for babies, toddlers, children and adolescents, making sure our little ones get all of the vital nutrients they need to grow healthy and happy on plant-based diets.
While a completely plant-based diet is not for everyone, we can all benefit from eating more fruits and vegetables!
