a little bit of sagey sagey magic after a big & beautiful day of these walls holding lots of your clinic stories ✨ 🍃 💗

I let a patient know yesterday, who had been told by her doctor that she probably could not have children, (and carried this belief for years), as she has PCOS; that this may not be the case. That PCOS does not equal infertility and that I wish for better care for women than statements that are so black and white. Her face almost brought me to my knees.

I held hands with another patient as she held her breath opening test results.

And I held space for a beautiful man who said for the first time out loud, that within his recent journey, he had never felt so scared.

It doesn’t feel like I have a regular job and I am so bloody grateful for that. 😘💗

Thank you for another beautiful week in our little clinic home 🌸 x

Someone asked me yesterday if I had shut down my clinic, as they miss my words on here. 🥹 I promise, me and the clinic are alive and well, I am just much more active on Instagram these days 🪻🌸
Here is a sentiment from there today 💓

I just walked along a street near my home, chatting to a patient on the phone who is about to embark on a pretty big health and fertility journey 🌸
‘I am really excited, but I am also feeling very mixed. It definitely isn’t just this high and happy feeling. I am also scared, and I’ve had moments of grief, confusion, spaces where I know I ‘should’ be feeling this intense joy, and I do, but it comes with other things too, like fear and sadness and even questioning.
It’s not bloody Instagram in real life is it’ 😂 she said, and we had a bit of a giggle at that one.

Because it really isn’t like Instagram, is it?

Anything we navigate. It is always pretty mixed isn’t it?! 🌸 and that word ‘should’ can make anything we feel that seems to deviate from what we think we should, feel wrong.

Yesterday I turned 35, and lately, I have felt like I am within one of my most beautiful seasons, yet it has been mixed. I’ve had to navigate fear, grief, triggers, old stories and beliefs and a hell of a lot of loss and letting go to be here. Those are the parts we don’t see on Instagram, hey.

This is why women sit opposite me in clinic with a confirmed positive pregnancy, feeling shame for it feeling beautiful and exciting and yet also mixed.

It is why women reach a place with their health and weight, and wonder where the euphoria and complete happiness and self acceptance is. Why aren’t I simply feeling this Elle?
Because every season, will always feel mixed 🌸

There is no place to reach in love, and health and weight and fertility and all of your wildest dreams coming true, where it will ever just feel like one thing.
It is always going to feel human.
and this little platform will never ever tell or show the whole story.

So before we buy into the bu****it that other women don’t feel like a mixed bag of many emotions within their seasons, they do. We all do. Even our most beautiful ones.

Whatever we feel, is always ok. And your truth? Always welcome here 🌸🪻💗 x

I said no to a patient today; a potential one anyway. Because she yearned to play hard ball, to go hard with her body. To ‘attack’ it from every angle and to see multiple praccys at once. So I said no, because this journey of us working together is not about patient numbers or $$ for me. It is about alignment and support that feels right for both of us.
I played hard ball with my body once and it took me a long time to repair and undo the intensity with which I met it with. I know how desperate and dire of a space, health struggles can place us within. We feel that we need to go hard and ‘attack’ and often this places the very systems we are trying to support, under more duress and pressure. I am not for everyone in clinical practice. I am not hard ball. And I won’t play it. Not with you or your body. I only treat your body to a certain depth, because I believe in the body and its ability. I am strategic with our support tools and I see it like hand holding for the body, or like pulling out a little foot stool or giving it a little shove in the bum so that it can climb to that next little step itself. It knows how, sometimes it just needs a little bit of support.
My desire is not to override it or its systems and I believe in this approach in every fibre of my being.
I will always tell you the truth and I will always refer you onto someone more aligned to provide you the approach that suits you, your body and your desires for healing too. 🩵🌸

I shut off the lights today in for 2025 with tears in my eyes. Not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. 🌸 for bowel movements had, after a long struggle, for inflammation halved after a big season of trying, for anxiety minimised (even slightly) in bodies that haven’t known this; for small shifts in your systems, which you and I both know, are big shifts 💥

I get tired, but everyday I also get to experience pure magic and I close off another year of clinic feeling like the luckiest girl alive. 🩷

I just wanted to share my happiness for you in this post, for all of the shifts that your bodies experienced this year.
I want to share how proud I feel of you and your bodies, it’s been incredible to see just what they can do, what you can do.
I want to share how brave and beautiful it is to see you reach for support, share struggle and allow a helping hand for you and your body when needed. Your journeys sometimes bring me to my knees and I never take your choice in me as your practitioner, lightly. Thank you for choosing me ❤️

I hope you are able to end this year with peace in your heart. Feeling so proud of yourselves and your bodies. You navigated big big things this year and your body was right there with you, doing its best for you as you moved through 2025.

Like I’ve said to you all year, and always, I will always believe in your body. Its ability to do amazing things. I believe for you when you lose a little bit of belief & hope. I celebrate beside you when we see those beautiful shifts, and I will always hold your hand and remain beside you on the truly earth shattering days too; the results days, the waiting days, the take us both to our knees days. I will sit beside you, until we can see the next step forward for you and your body.

All my love, for whatever the end of this year looks like for you. 🎄 We don’t really do big and grand around here, so feel free to join me in the gentle, the simple, the nourishing (in whatever way feels right for you).

Merry Christmas beautiful women 🩷 (and beautiful men who also joined me this year 🩵) I can’t wait to do it all again soon 🥰 x

I’m sorry that your email reply is late, but it found me while I danced around my kitchen late afternoon to George Michael, while making an exorbitant amount of pad Thai for dinners for myself.
Your email found me as I decided I needed less emails and more sitting across from a friend, sipping on chai and talking about everything and nothing all at once.
It found me as I grappled with processing complex feelings and information.
It found me as I took some time to move my body and be on a mat. I needed a mat today.
Your email did find me. I just needed today to reach me a little more than it did.

Ever feel like that?

And when my email reply does find you, I hope you blow it off too (just for a little while), to be with a friend, or dance around your kitchen, or make an exorbitant amount of pad Thai, or maybe more simply, because you are off choosing some things instead that would better nourish you. 🌸😘

Just today I saw 2 patients who are navigating a cancer diagnosis and journey.
A patient who has recently had a stroke.
Someone who has just uncovered a partners affair. Another who is desperately yearning to be a mum. + a few mixed bag cases like constipation, deficiencies and humans wanting to turn their life and health around.

It can be a big transition from clinic life to home life. I step out into the afternoon light and it often looks different than the light I entered the clinic building in. Forever changed by your stories and journeys.
Forever in awe. Forever honoured, to have them shared with me and to be a part of them. 🌸

It is weird and wonderful my work. I can be within a conversation about the biggest moments and seasons within your lives and then I am in the line at office works, waiting to pick up some photos, like I am right now as I type this.
I guess humans in care roles often feel like this; that life keeps on keeping on, even when humans feel like time has just stopped within theirs.

I hope that wherever you find yourself in your current season that you have support around you 🌸 one of my patients put it so beautifully today, he said you know, talking to you helps me feel seen and so do two of my mates; a coffee and a conversation with them has the whole day looking different, & I thought yep! That’s the medicine right there 🩷

and where you will find me between patients (but also please don’t find me 😂😜), will most likely be here. Reading the cheesiest of cheese, or some true crime. Slipping into the imaginary worlds of these pages; sipping on chai with the background sounds of the crashing sea 🥹 bliss 🦋

I take my lunch break every day. Always at different times, when I’m able to sneak it in. But I always take it and if you work with me, you will know I not only encourage you to take your breaks too, but I often write it in your treatment plan 😘

Today I had a client want to schedule in our session in my only break and I said no. Past me would have said yes, but she was depleted, deficient, undernourished and an over giver. I’ve realised that I am the best practitioner for my patients and the best human for my loved ones when I am also able to nourish myself.

Women especially need this reminder over and over again till we begin to understand how powerful it is for our health and for those we love too. It allows us to be more present, gifts us more capacity and an abundance of love and care for those in our lives; because it starts with us 🫐

Please take your lunch breaks. Please never believe you are too busy to step away and give yourself some nourishing food, a few deep breaths and a break to recalibrate.

You not only deserve it, you require it x

you can find me here 🌸 and in between sessions, gazing out into the sunshine, tea or sticky chai drowned in honey in hand, thinking about how incredible you all are, or how proud I am of you for sharing how you have really been feeling. Our truth is so healing for us and our body and I love being able to provide a space where you feel safe enough to share it 🤍

When I am not at you can usually find me by the sea, I have a thing about needing to see it; something I believe I inherited from my poppy brown who said he used to run on his lunch breaks up a big hill, scale a building and sit on the roof, just to catch a glimpse of the glorious sparkling sea. You are like me, he’d say. We have to see it. And I try to, daily.

You can also find me soaking in a .spray magnesium bath; I’m bias, but it’s heaven. Or turning the pages of a crime fiction book, usually in the bath also. If I’m not here, I’m seeking out those dusk coloured skies, I’m giggling with my girlfriends or having a pretty epic conversation over chai. ☕️ 💕

Lately I’ve been feeling like there is less to prove. I’ve found a comfort in me that I haven’t felt in a long long time and while this means you get a lot of random posts on here like pretty flowers, pink skies and cute surfers running to the ocean; I hope I can inspire you to get outside. That I can remind you that perfect health doesn’t exist and that there is no elusive place of wellness to reach. So we can stop trying ☺️ I do love to share helpful little bits and pieces that I believe can support you and your body and I am passionate about treating women’s bodies gently and meeting you where you are at.

I am more active these days over on Instagram 🌸
Thank you for being here. It feels like a special little place that we currently find ourselves in 🥰🩷💫🌸 x 📸

one of my morning clients just said to me, thank you for not shaming me for liking choccy biccies with my tea ☺️🌸 … never x

and thank you for believing that everything I am going through right now is impacting my physical health; that it isn’t just about taking every food group away, but supporting me and my body 💖 … always x

Nutrition support, wellbeing support, health support, it should feel supportive. It shouldn’t be extreme or add further stress or drive shame or blame. We go gently around here, with you and your body and let’s be real, it’s probably not the choccy biccies that you enjoy with a cup of tea that are derailing your health, it’s probably the extreme amounts of stress you are under, the lack of support for you and your body, the pace, the pressure, overworked systems that just need a few supportive strategies. We’ve got this 🩷 and I’ve got you x

I was mapping out blood results in clinic today 🩸 making connections while interpreting your test results. My process kind of looks like a whole lot of scribble with a pen and paper to everyone else, but it makes perfect sense to me ☺️

When I was 17 I told my nutritionist at the time that I wanted to study clinical nutrition. He had assisted me in regaining massive parts of my health back and meeting this man changed the course of my life. 🤍

I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to handle the science aspects of the nutrition course. Nervous that I wasn’t smart enough and that I hadn’t engaged in any science subjects beyond a year 7 level.
He gifted me a roll of butchers paper and told me to ‘map it out’.
I’d roll it out on the floor during every scary science subject and map out the body systems, the connections, the big scary terminology that only made sense to me when I could see it all mapped out on a big piece of paper. I’d stand back and look over it all and he would tell me to use the back part of my brain, to believe in myself and to just keep ‘mapping it out’. And so I did. I mapped it out for one nutrition course, one health science degree, one masters in human nutrition and research, and I’m still mapping it out everyday when I am working with you all in clinic 🥰🤍

‘Mapping it out’ is one of my favourite parts of my clinic day. I LOVE playing body detective and making the connections that help provide us the path of how we want to move forward and what we want to focus on; whilst also providing us some answers that I know give you all so much peace. I know what it is like to feel like a struggling patient - I’ve been one at many different points in my own life and journey. To have practitioners that ‘map it out’ for you, that help you to make sense of what can feel like a jumble of symptoms; is truly life changing.

Because if I’ve learnt anything in the last 12 years of being a clinical nutritionist, it is that the body is never wrong. When we begin to make those connections and we ‘map it out’, it usually begins to make sense to you and me 🩷 and from this beautiful and hopeful place, we can begin to provide it some support 💫 x

I watch this little Aussie family online sometimes and they do this thing called Friday night fry ups; and it’s all freezer food and it’s fried and they dance around the kitchen together and they sing and they laugh and they put a huge piece of towel or foil down on the table, and they put it all in the middle and they sit around together at the same table and share this Friday night fry up and it looks so connected, happy and whole that it makes me smile. I’m a nutritionist and maybe I wouldn’t change a thing here? It doesn’t look like I should or that I need to.
I smile everytime I see them on my feed. The warmth, the fun, the joy, how connected they seem every Friday together. It’s their family ‘party’ night and it’s the cutest party of 3 I think I’ve ever seen.
I remember when I was at uni studying nutrition and a lecturer gave us a case study of a man who smoked one cigarette per day, but he did it standing with the shop owner next door where he described it as them having conversations everyday that made him laugh, that changed his life, his day and his business, and they both took a break and had a coffee and a cigarette together out the front of their shops. My lecturer asked us if we would take the cigarette away?
We all said yes and proposed different options he could pop in its place, like a protein snack or just the coffee with his neighbour and friend. (We were budding nutritionists of course).
My lecturer said he wouldn’t take it away and we were all stunned. He said ok, he is smoking daily, which we would like to see a change, but what happens to this man if we take it away? Maybe he stops sitting with his mate daily for a connected chat and a break. Maybe he now doesn’t step outside of his shop at this time, have the sun hit his face, laugh and connect. What happens then?
I feel this way about the family fry up. To me, the joy, warmth and connection, clearly outweighs what they have for dinner on this one night per week. That lecturer helped pave the way I treat, even still today. And you probably feel that if we work together. It’s not about perfection, but it’s always about health and health can be this too 🤍

Is anyone else just a little bit over it? 🥴
I stood in my kitchen last week eating cheese on a rice cake, with my hair in a really strange end of day top knot, staring at the dishes in my sink and deciding not to cook as I couldn’t fathom adding anything more to the pile 😂
I scrolled my feed on here as I ate the cheese on rice cakes and just felt a bit over it 🫩 the curation, the perfection, the way it drives comparison and shame. The way even these women probably aren’t just making and eating curated meals all day long, but we forget that when we are in our own homes scrolling as we stand in our kitchens too.
This industry can be amazing and it can be really weird. I used to add to this I feel. Like the time I posted myself lovingly staring at kale and then went inside and ate some Cadbury’s that I wouldn’t dare have shared on my feed at this time. My clients back then asked me how I possibly got my green smoothies down and I probably waffled on about how important health was to me and concealed the fact that I ate any ounce of sugar. I did, I have for most of my life (bar a few patches where my relationship with food was fairly questionable).

I’m a clinical nutritionist and most days, my food doesn’t look Insta worthy. In truth? It’s kind of boring looking and mostly fairly bland 😂 it’s how I like to eat. Making it easy for myself, sticking with foods I know my body likes and can digest and having it fit with my lifestyle, as not to add to my stress and anxiety. Things I share with you too!
I also love chocolate and honey filled chai and I felt strange shame about that for yearrssss when I entered this industry. It’s why I always understand (yet it breaks my heart to see it), the shame that so many of you carry too, when you compare yourself to the curation. The perfectly plated meals, the green smoothies, the exorbitant powders, the I never eat: ….. humans on here, who by the way, often do differently when not posting on here ..

So yeah, I felt a bit over it. Seeing it all, all the time. Our actual lives looking so vastly different and so much more human. Cheese on rice cakes, mess, human. 🤍
