You don’t need to feel ready to start to heal.
Wanting something different is already a step. Showing up to yourself with curiosity is a step. Thinking about it is progress. 🌱

Hey dietitian friends! 👋

Just a reminder that as much as the work we do is meaningful and oh so fulfilling, it is often layered, complex and sometimes pretty heavy — and it’s so much easier when you’ve got people in your corner.

Support isn’t a weakness, it’s how we keep showing up with care for our clients and ourselves ✨

Who’s in your corner right now? Tag them and send a thank you 😅💕

Something I remind myself often, is that my clients don’t owe me their story.

When they choose to share any part of their story, they are trusting me with a part of themselves.

It is a privilege to sit with someone’s tears, pain, fears, hope and pride.

I don’t take lightly that people let me into parts of their life they may not have shared with others.

🌱 Thank you for trusting and teaching me

A client told me this week they felt like they “failed” because they couldn’t keep up a change they had decided to try with food.

I told them:
This isn’t failure.

This is the work.
By “failing”, it just shows you are doing it. You are showing up for yourself.

Sometimes you try something, and you can’t keep it up. But you tried it, whether it was one, two, three times…….. you did it.

That doesn’t mean you’ve gone backwards. It means you did a thing, and then you didn’t.

I wonder what it tells you? I wonder what it means is possible?

Healing is about being curious, noticing, adjusting, and finding what feels safe and doable — without judgment, and with compassion for what shows up for you, and for the part of yourself that found it hard to keep going.

If you’re in a place where it feels like you keep “failing,”, you’re probably (actually, you definitely) are doing more of the work than you realise.

🪷 Save this for the days you need that reminder

Progress doesn’t always look the way you expect. And sometimes it’s hard to notice.

Because it’s not about numbers or doing things “perfectly”.

It can be about the shifts like:
✨ less guilt or confusion around food
✨ more consistency with eating occasions
✨ a little more energy + ease
✨ seeing things differently
✨ showing up and opening up when things are hard

every step matters no matter where you are at.

🤍 If you’d like support, I have space for new clients — feel free to reach out.

🌿 You are allowed to eat with support.
🌿 You are not a failure for finding meals hard.

seeking safety and connection is so human.

Our wise colleagues have been busy!! New research just released on dietetic supervision 👏

Tara Crow, Claire Palermo, Laura Kiely & Deanne Harris reviewed 51 studies (!!) and made it super clear that

➡️ Supervision isn’t just for early career dietitians
➡️ It’s meant to be regular, reflective, and support you throughout your career
➡️ It improves our practice AND our wellbeing (therefore ultimately our client outcomes)

I’ve said a gazilion times 🫢 that I wouldn’t still be practicing if I haven’t had supervision throughout my career. Which is why I love it when I can supervise others 😍

🪷If you’ve been thinking about it, feel free to get in touch and we can see if we are a good fit 😌
