Our Story

Welcome to Nurture & Nourish Nutrition Counselling. My name is Wendy Stevens and I am a university qualified Nutritionist and Dietitian. I currently deliver the Qld Diabetes healthy lifestyle program ‘My Health for Life’ that focusses on supporting you to change behaviours that are no longer supporting you.

I believe the deepest level of understanding comes from personal experience. For 10 years I struggled with the painful and embarrassing digestive symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and invested a lot of time and money searching for a solution. Finally, with a low FODMAP diet my symptoms were improved after 2 weeks and I was symptom free in 2 months. It was life changing as I was no longer limited by my health. I was inspired to study nutrition so I could help others to have an easier journey to improved health and wellbeing than I did. My focus in on helping my clients to increase wellness, not achieving a certain number on the scales. Weight is such a complicated issue affected by many factors such as genetics, hormones, gut health, fluid changes and even the weather! This doesn't mean I'm against weight loss - every person has their own needs and priorities. However I am against unsustainable fad diets that set people up for failure and often don't promote healthy behaviours. I believe that like raising children, nurturing and nourishing ourselves is more likely to lead to long term health than deprivation and punishment. Wishing you well Wendy
