Feeling really proud to have received my Eating Disorder Credential from

I’m so grateful to all of the incredible clients I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. It’s an honour to support people in rebuilding their relationship with food and their bodies, and I’m looking forward to supporting many more people on their journey towards food and body freedom.

A big thank you to the team at , along with , fellow dietitians, colleagues, and my family and friends for the ongoing support and encouragement that has helped me grow in this area.

I’m really looking forward to continuing this work and making a difference 🫶

So many of you know, my philosophy to nutrition is looking at what we can ADD to our diets rather than remove!
One of the easiest ways to do that? Levelling up your meals with legumes🫘

And because it’s pulses week I thought I’d share my go-to legume level-ups:
✨ Lentils stirred into pasta sauce
✨ Beans in Mexican-style dishes
✨ Pulses added into soups
✨ Chickpeas or lentils tossed through salads
✨ Pulses in curries
✨ Tofu in stir-fries

These small additions give you fibre, plant protein, sustained energy, vitamins and minerals - and bonus, they’re budget-friendly too šŸ’ø

Small additions. Big nutrition wins.
✨ Level up with legumes ✨

What’s your favourite way to Level Up with Legumes?

05/02/2026

You know I’m all about nutrition by addition and the American Gut Project recommends aiming for 30+ different plant foods a week!

Not just fruit & veg - I mean grains, legumes, tofu & tempeh, nuts, seeds… the whole rainbow. 🌈

Why?
✨ More vitamins, minerals & antioxidants
✨ Different tastes, textures & aromas = more eating pleasure
✨ Fibre-rich goodness for your gut & keeping you fuller for longer

Not hitting 30 yet? That’s completely okay - every little addition counts, so just start with one new plant at a time! šŸ¤—

šŸ’” Quick ways to boost plant variety:
-Mix veg (eggplant, capsicum, legumes) into pastas, curries & salads
-Toss mixed berries into breakfasts or desserts (fresh or frozen!)
-Use mixed cans of legumes, salads or frozen veg packs
-Sprinkle seaweed on salads, poke bowls & dumplings
-Try pulse pasta or mixed wholegrains

Abit of a rant (but an important one) āš ļø

If you’ve ever felt confused, guilty or pressured by health and nutrition ads on social media, TV or even billboards… this one’s for you.

Real nutrition (and health) support should feel grounded, evidence-based and supportive - not shamey, extreme or panic-inducing.

Before you buy in, ask yourself:
• Is this evidence-based?
• Is it coming from a qualified health professional I trust?
• Does this actually align with my values, health needs and goals?

You deserve better than clickbait wellness culture šŸ’›

Stop eating like your favourite influencer!

Not all nutrition advice is equal.
What works for one person (especially online) isn’t automatically right for you.
Context, evidence and individual needs matter.

Just because they skip breakfast, take xyz supplements or cut carbs doesn’t mean you should!!

There are lots of things that could be happening under the surface of your favourite influencer that you might not be able to tell just by looking at them: low energy availability, hormone disruption, fatigue, injury risk, mental health changes or disordered eating.

Your body isn’t an experiment.
Choose nutrition advice that supports your own individual health needs, not trends.

If you’d like 1:1 nutrition support for your individual needs, feel free to send me a DM šŸ¤—

This time of year can bring up a lot of different emotions - reflection, comparison, maybe even pressure etc.

And as this year wraps up, I’m not labelling it as ā€œgoodā€ or ā€œbadā€ year, it was a mix for me personally! A year of learning both personally and professionally - a year of momentum, pauses, learning, frustration, and wins (relevant to me).

I’ve learnt a lot this year.
About my work, my boundaries, how I practise, and how I show up to clients and those around me (and show up for myself).

Some highlights was another year working with dream team OnCore Nutrition , running some cooking demos and doing some presentations; spending time with my family and friends; moving my body in different ways; camping; meeting some genuinely great new people; working alongside clients through both highs and lows; and doing a house reno (which has taught me more patience than expected).

Some things workedšŸ¤—
Some didn’tšŸ™ƒ
All things I have learnt from, and shaped how I live and what I’ll take forward to 2026.

Growth didn’t come from getting it right straight away or looking productive from the outside. It came from noticing what was needed, adjusting and continuing anyway even when it was really hard.

And if this year felt a bit ā€˜bleh’ for you or not what you expected - that’s okay (you’re not alone) maybe it was a year of learning, one where you showed strength even amidst challenging times.

Cheers to 2025 and bring on 2026 🫶🫶

ā€¼ļøReframing Snacksā€¼ļø

I hear so many people say they’re trying not to snack! Somewhere along the way, snacks copped a bad reputation - as if not snacking is ā€œbeing goodā€.
But here’s the truth: snacks aren’t fillers… they’re fuel.

Avoiding snacks or choosing a tiny low-energy option often leaves you:
• still hungry + unsatisfied
• thinking about food nonstop
• low in energy (hello 3pm slump!)
• more likely to overeat later
• at risk of under-fuelling - particularly if you have higher energy needs

The real game-changer? Purposeful snacks (aka mini meals) that include carbs + protein + fats (and flavour) - just like a meal would.
They help keep your energy stable āš”ļø, support concentration 🧠 and leave you actually satisfied between meals āœ….

SWIPE to see one of my favourite analogiesšŸ”„

Let’s reframe snacks as ā€œa chance to nourish our bodyā€

What’s your go to snack at the moment?

It’s National Nutrition Week, and I really love the theme this year being ā€˜Love What You Eat’ celebrating food beyond just nutrients!
I’m celebrating (and spotlighting) ā€˜Love Cooking’ šŸ’š

For me, cooking is about more than just food - it’s my creativity, it brings connection, and care. It brings people together, helps me unwind, and sparks my imagination. Some days it’s mindful me time with music (hello, Italian Cooking Music playlist on Spotifyā€¦šŸ˜œ), and other days it’s a quick 5-minute meal - both are okay!

And some tips to make cooking easier (and more fun!):
šŸ’šStart with simple skills and small wins - confidence grows over time.
šŸ’š Try cooking with others
šŸ’š Listen to music or a podcast
šŸ’šUse shortcuts like pre-cut veggies, microwave rice, or frozen or canned produce.
šŸ’šPrep meals in advance if it helps your week flow better.

Cooking doesn’t have to be perfect - sometimes it’s just a task but cooking can be a joyful, creative, and connecting experience - one that nourishes both body and mind.

Health & body image reminders… from Coco! 🐾

I think we can learn a lot from our dogs. So here are a few gentle reminders from our girl, Coco šŸ’›

🐾All foods fit - Coco eats for fuel and joy, no guilt either way.
🐾Eating regularly matters - Coco knows being hangry is real (not a fun feeling)!
🐾Rest is important for health too - Coco rests, naps whenever she needs to.
🐾Movement should feel joyful - walks and runs are Coco’s favourite. Move your body in a way that feels good for you!!
🐾Worth ≠ weight - Coco loves people for who they are, not their size/how they look.

Did any of these resonate with you? Let us know in the comments (and I’ll tell CocošŸ˜‰)

Meal Prep vs. Semi-Prep: Which one works for you? šŸ½ļø

I love the idea of meal prep don’t get me wrong, and it can be a great tool to help with regularity and meeting your needs but it can be overwhelming at times and repetitive leaving you with a lack of variety.

Semi-prep can be a good new tool to try. Instead of cooking full meals in advance, a component of the meal - you prep ingredients. Think chopped veggies, precooked or marinated proteins, or pre-cooked grains, so you can throw together fresh meals and adjust each day for more variety.

Why it’s a game changer:
āœ… More flexibility and variety (no more eating the same meal all week!)
āœ… Fresher meals
āœ… Cuts down on decision fatigue - just assemble & cook! (I’d still plan ahead to help with this)
āœ… Saves time while keeping meals quick and delicious
āœ… Works great for different dietary requirements, picky eaters, sensory preferences & family meal customisation
āœ… Reduces food waste
āœ… Perfect for beginners or anyone who finds full meal prep overwhelming

Would you try semi-prep? Let me know in the comments! ā¬‡ļø
