The Food and Life Clinic is my baby.

While I don’t take myself very seriously, I take supporting my clients VERY seriously.

Everyone thinks they’ll see a dietitian, be told what they’re doing wrong, get a meal plan and check in regularly to report if they have been good in following it.

That is the total opposite approach to The Food and Life Clinic. We’re actually all about helping our clients meet their nutrition needs in ways that work for them.

Yes, we educate you about what your actual needs are (usually lots of myth busting here) BUT…
We follow through with the hardest bit: supporting you in changing your habits.

We promote self-empathy and self care.

We do this because it works.

If you’ve tried being hard on yourself, meal plans, diets, or exclusions and it hasn’t worked (or it worked til it didn’t), consider a different approach.

I’m too old to not be wise enough to practice what I preach… 🎙️

I always promote balance in life with my midlife mamas but am I walking my talk?

I exercise, I spend time with my kids, I have an awesome social life…but I work crazy hours too. So nope, I’m not walking the talk.

At the beginning of 2025, I trialled opening the clinic from 2am-9pm on Wednesdays and 9am-2pm on Thursdays…just to give clients a range of times to see me. By July, my books were filled each day and since September, I’ve extended my hours to earlier on Wednesdays and later on Thursdays. Overworking is a slippery slope when you run your own business…

So I’ve had to do some thinking.

Being open after hours benefits lots of my clients.
So, next year I will run the clinic from 11am-7pm on Wednesdays. It still provides some after hours options but doesn’t turn my brain into nothing but a shell.

If balance is what you need, balance is what I need…

I love breaking all the rules!

Food rules! I mean food rules!

At Food & Life, I help people build a calmer, kinder relationship with food and eating — without judgement, guilt or diet-culture noise.

My approach is all about understanding the why behind someone’s eating patterns, supporting them with empathy, and helping them build the confidence and capacity to nourish their bodies, minds and souls in a way that actually feels doable.

I work with people aged 10+, and I have particular passions in:

✨ Disordered eating & eating disorders
✨ Women’s health — especially the glorious chaos of midlife
✨ Gut health
✨ Mental health
✨ Eating challenges linked with neurodivergence

I offer support through Medicare, the NDIS and privately.

Sessions are available face-to-face in Watsonia or online via telehealth — whatever makes life easier (and gets you nourished without adding extra stress). 💻💚

You’re welcome to make an appointment (link in bio) or have a chat about the support you need (DM).

Appointments for 2026 are now open!

Learning that rest is as important as movement. 😌

I have not been to the gym all week. I had plans to tuck it into a spare hour of my Saturday morning BUT I am exhausted. Work has been crazy busy. The kids needs have been crazy high…and I am learning that to rest is ok. To say no to stuff is ok. To do nothing is sometimes what you need more than anything else.

Otherwise, I’m going to burn out.

Here’s to breaking lifelong habits of always having to fill every hour of every day. 😅🤩

My puppy man is lapping up the love today in the clinic. 🥺❤️

This cutie pie never fails to engage with my clients. He’s such a great icebreaker. How can you not fall for this sweet face?!? 🥰

Sometimes in the face to face clinic, when someone tells me they’ve got pets, I whip out photos of my little tribe of paws 🐕🐶🐈‍⬛🐈and we trade stories about the shenanigans of a pets life. 🐾 Nothing to do with nutrition, but everything to do with comfort, safety and humanising a clinical environment.

This is what I do to keep myself a healthy midlife woman 💪✨

I eat to a routine so I don’t skip meals 🍲

I balance my nutrition needs in most (protein, fibre, fats, colour!) 🥦

I schedule my exercise into my week 🏃‍♀️. It’s one of the best tools I’ve got for midlife mama mental health and managing my ADHD brain. You can always tell when I haven’t been active because I’m grisly AF 😅

I make time for connection ☕. My bestie and I have even started regular phone chats because, despite living within walking distance, life keeps getting in the way of a proper catch-up 🙃

I keep up to date with my health checks and screens 🩺 and I’m open with my GP (who is pretty fabulous, to be honest) about everything regarding my physical and mental health 💬

These little anchors help me feel steady and supported in the chaos of midlife.
