Congratulations, by clicking here you’ve made the first step in healing and recovery!
I run a virtual (online) dietetic clinic for any community members living with an eating disorder and who are seeking treatment and recovery support.
I have been working with folks living with eating disorders for several years and am a Credentialed Eating Disorders Clinician with the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders (ANZAED). This means I have completed training in several eating disorder treatment models and frameworks such as Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Maudsley Family Based Treatment, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Eating and the RAVES TM Eating Model and I also take part in regular clinical supervision.
My two core values as a Dietitian are:
1. I believe everyone has a right to enjoy a happy relationship with food
2. I also believe our body size does not dictate our health (or our worth)
If you find we are a good fit and you would like to book an appointment with me, you’ll notice I strive to keep these values at front of mind as we work through your goals together. Please note, I am not able to offer face-to-face consultations at this time. However, I am happy to connect you with a Dietitian in your local area – Just get in touch
What’s involved?
After you book, you will receive an online form to complete that will tell me more about you and your journey. It is also handy as you can fill in your details like your name, address and so on which saves you valuable time on the day of your appointment!
You will receive a reminder email from me a few days before your 1st appointment. This will include the website link to connect to on the day of your appointment. You don’t need any special programs or apps to join the appointment. All you need is a phone (with a camera) or a laptop.
Our appointments generally go for 1 hour and dietary advice and support will be individualised for you – both in the number of appointments needed and the kinds of things we discuss and work on together.
I work with other health practitioners in your team such as your GP, Psychologist/Counsellor, and Psychiatrist to ensure everyone is on “on the same page” and we are offering you the best support possible. I will continually update them on your dietetic progress after every appointment we have.
If you don’t have a treatment team yet, I can assist you in forming a treatment team by connecting you with a range of health professionals.

Medicare and Private Health Rebates
There are often 2 types of Medicare rebates community members may be eligible for:
- If you have been placed on a Medicare Eating Disorders Plan (often called an EDP) by your GP, you are eligible for rebates on up to 20 sessions with a Dietitian every year. The current rebate for each consultation is $56.
- If you do not have an EDP or aren’t eligible, you may be eligible for a Medicare Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP). For this plan, you are eligible for a rebate on up to 5 sessions/year. The rebate is also $56.
Chat with your GP to discuss your personal situation and if you are eligible for one of the above plans.
Private Health Rebates
All private health funds offer different rebates for dietetic services. If you have dietetics cover, I can provide you with a receipt to claim a rebate for dietetic services from your fund.
