The Menopause Dietitian

Bringing together nutritional science, dietetics, behavioural therapy and compassion to get to the heart of what you need through menopause.

It was very early on in my career when I realised, we’re a lot more complicated than we like to admit.

Combining a degree in nutrition and dietetics with a compassionate heart only seemed to get me so far.
It worked for those on prescriptive diets in hospital beds, but for the free-living individuals who came to clinics, it was a completely different ball game.

They were out there, just like you, living life, interacting with food in all sorts of different ways and juggling their health needs, daily wellbeing, mindset and behaviours. 

I didn’t want to be that dietitian who only did surface level stuff; who quizzed people on their diets and then gave them practical advice and a snazzy diet sheet. 

I had a desire to dig a bit deeper. What’s really going on here? How is this person feeling? How are their habits related to how they see themselves or how others are perhaps judging them?

Is food an afterthought in a busy life or perhaps a coping strategy for emotions that feel tough to handle? Whatever might be your struggle or frustration, it’s easy for food to not feel as nourishing or as nurturing as it could.
