At Lotus Health + Nutrition, I utilise an evidence-based, non-diet intuitive eating approach to liberate you from the negativity and unrealistic expectations of diet culture.
This adaptive style of nutritional therapy can address a wide range of health concerns and chronic conditions, including fussy eating, ADHD, conception, menopause, high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes…the list goes on.
I’ll guide you on your journey to better health, assisting you in establishing mindful eating practices while nurturing body acceptance and trust. Together, we’ll restore a positive relationship with food and create sustainable habits to help you nurture your body + mind.
Healthy body image + Intuitive eating
At the core of every Treatment Plan is the maintenance or restoration of a healthy relationship with food and your body.
I teach you to:

- listen to your body’s biological hunger cues and honour your fullness
- discover the satisfaction and joy in eating
- make peace with food
- respect your body for all it allows you to do
- honour your health and nourish your body

Plant-based nutrition
I have a special interest in plant-based nutrition and its role in managing chronic health conditions and reducing autoimmune disease symptoms.
I 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 may not suit everyone, we can all benefit from eating more fruits and vegetables!
