Have you ever sat with a client and thought…

“I know they need more support… but I’m not sure how to get them there without falling back on meal plans, rules or nutrition lectures,”
👉 you’re not alone.

So many clinicians tell me they were taught nutrition, but not how to navigate the real-world complexity of eating behaviour, body image, food fear, shame or the long tail of diet culture.

That’s exactly why the RAVES™ Eating Model was created and why I’m bringing back the 2026 in-person workshops.

These two days go far beyond “understanding the model.”

You’ll learn how to use RAVES™ with confidence, apply it to diverse presentations, take home practical scripts and tools, and finally feel like you have a framework that truly supports people in a compassionate, sustainable way.

Think of it as the training most of us wish we had earlier in our careers.

A space where the theory suddenly clicks…

where confidence replaces second-guessing…

and where you walk away feeling clearer, grounded, and excited to support your clients again.

Ready to deepen your RAVES™ skills and elevate your clinical practice?

The 2026 workshops are happening in: Brisbane • Melbourne • Adelaide • Sydney • Perth • Auckland 🎉

✨ Early bird runs until December 22
✨ Only 30 seats per location — once it’s full, that’s it
✨ Perfect for dietitians, psychologists, GPs, educators & health professionals supporting eating/weight concerns

Send me a DM or comment with the word RAVES and I’ll send you the full details + registration link directly.

This training has transformed the way practitioners work with clients and I’d love for you to experience that shift too!

If you’ve ever wished there was a simpler, more compassionate way to support clients through eating and weight concerns, something that doesn’t rely on rigid plans or “perfect” nutrition, that’s exactly why the RAVES™ Eating Model was created. 🥳
RAVES™ strips away the noise and brings us back to the foundations that actually help people rebuild trust with food: regularity, adequacy, variety, eating socially, and spontaneity.

It’s flexible, realistic, and grounded in the messy, human side of behaviour change.

Over the years, I’ve watched practitioners use RAVES™ in eating disorder recovery, general nutrition care, non-diet work, sports settings, and university teaching. Its strength has always been its simplicity, but also its depth. Once you start using it, you realise how much insight it can bring to even your most complex cases.

If you’d like to feel more confident applying RAVES™ in real-world conversations with clarity, nuance, and the “why” behind each step, that’s exactly what we cover inside the 2026 in-person workshops! 👇

I’ll be running full, two-day in-person RAVES™ workshops across:
✨ Brisbane
✨ Melbourne
✨ Adelaide
✨ Sydney
✨ Perth (you can join us online, too!)
✨ Auckland

Early bird is open until December 22nd, with only 30 seats per city to keep the learning practical and interactive.

👉 Comment “RAVES” and I’ll send you the workshop link to explore dates, venues and registration details.
Would love to see you there!

Have you ever had a moment in your career that completely shifted the way you show up for your clients? 🙋‍♂️

For me, that moment happened early on… long before RAVES™ ever existed.

I went from trying to be “the expert” to realising that real nutrition care isn’t about control or perfect answers… it’s about understanding someone’s story, their fears, their relationship with food, and meeting them with compassion instead of judgment.

That shift shaped everything that eventually became the RAVES™ Eating Model.A framework built not from theory alone, but from real people, real conversations, and a deep respect for the complexity of this work.

If this resonates with you and you’re wanting to deepen your confidence in supporting clients with eating, weight and body-image concerns, the Elevate Your Practice with the RAVES™ Eating Model 2026 workshops are now open! 🎉

We’ll be running full two-day, in-person workshops in:

✨Brisbane
✨Melbourne
✨Adelaide
✨Sydney
✨Perth (online is available too!)
✨Auckland

Early bird is open now until December 22nd. But don’t wait as spots are only limited to 30 seats and they tend to fill quickly once dates are announced.

If you’ve been wanting to deepen your skills with a framework that truly supports clients beyond diet culture, this is the perfect time to secure your spot.

👉 Comment “RAVES” to check out the workshop details and register now.

I’d genuinely love to see you there!

WORKSHOP: TOWARDS A HEALTHIER YOU USING THE RAVES™ EATING MODEL

Diets don't work ... research suggests that less than 5% of people who diet to lose weight keep it off over time.

Why is this so?

Well ... diets are more a battle of willpower, and while sticking to a diet in the short to mid term might seem achievable, they are definitely NOT a longterm solution. In fact, I would say they aren't a solution at all. It is often said that you have not failed the diet, the diet failed you ... because it was never meant to work.

In essence, dieting and focusing on weight is largely problematic, and often leads to a difficult relationship with food developing over time.

So ... what's the alternative?

Enter the RAVES™ Eating Model.

The RAVES™ Eating Model is an evidence based framework built on five key principles. The principles support the development of a more positive relationship with food, mind, body and self while at the same time challenging diet culture and the body ideal.

Used for years by dietitians and health professionals across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, the RAVES™ Eating Model is one of the leading frameworks used to support people in finding food freedom.

And what tends to flow on from food freedom is a better relationship with the mind (less guilt, less shame, less self criticism) which in turn support a better relationship with the body (not fighting against it, greater acceptance, self care, and taking the focus off the number) and thus a better relationship with self. I (and my many colleagues) have seen this happen many many times in our clinical practice ... all without diets and all without a focus on weight.

As the creator of the RAVES™ Eating Model, I invite you to join me for my in person RAVES™ Masterclass in Brisbane on Saturday June 21st where you will learn

✅ real world practical steps to improve your relationship with food, mind, body and self
✅ how to lean into self compassion by connecting with your values
✅ the five key principles of the RAVES™ Eating Model
✅ the pitfall of body mass index (BMI) and how it is misleading
✅ why health is more important than weight
✅ why dieting and diet culture is toxic

And much more ....

Such a fantastic week of conferencing! Starting off last week in Brisbane at the Dietitians Australia conference presenting with my wonderful colleague Jodie Sheraton from Elevated Dietetics on getting started in the eating disorder space … including a brief summary of RAVES!

Then a short flight across the ditch to New Zealand for the ANZAED conference in Auckland, where it was wonderful to reconnect with with friends and colleagues, hear about the amazing work being done in the eating disorder space across Australia, and witness the rising presence of dietitians in the field. Big shout out and congratulations to Copeland Winten for taking out the Dietitians Australia award for best presentation by a dietitian for her work in ARFID!

Also nice to see so many presentations and colleagues talking about my RAVES eating model … seeing it up alongside CBT and DBT shows just how far the model has come since it humble beginnings nearly 20 years ago!

Looking forward to now reflecting on my new learnings, and integrating new principles and knowledge into practice, rolling out my RAVES workshops, and solidifying new connections.
