For many folks, eating disorder treatment hasn’t always felt safe or accessible.

It can feel controlling.
It can feel like being talked at, not listened to.
It can feel like your distress is being overlooked in favour of numbers, plans, and compliance.

When treatment is rooted purely in a biomedical model, nutritional rehabilitation often comes first while the why behind behaviours, the sensory experiences, the fear, the overwhelm, and the identity pieces are left behind until the end.
And when that happens, people can walk away feeling unsupported, dominated, misunderstood, and alone.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Recovery is not just about food or body image!!
It’s about safety, autonomy, understanding, and being heard!

A neuroaffirming, trauma-informed and person-centred approach means:
✨ listening before prescribing
✨ collaborating instead of controlling
✨ supporting regulation, not just intake
✨ seeing the whole person and not just the eating disorder

You deserve care that feels empowering, compassionate, and genuinely supportive. After all, you are the one who knows yourself better than anyone and as a clinician, we are here to help you unlock your full potential on YOUR terms🌻

✨One of my 2026 ventures - ED meal support program✨

It's been over a year that I have had this idea (and many others) festering, and I am finally bringing it to life!

I am offering this to my current clients as an addition to our individual sessions. It was so important to me to make this accessible, as therapy is already expensive, which is why I have made it a pay-what-you-can service.

My goal is to slowly provide services that provide a community of like-minded folk who are on similar journeys, and to make this experience less lonelylonely🫶🏼🌻

I wanted to extend my gratitude to everyone who has come to see me this year or who referred to me, as it was the first year I officially started working as a solo clinician! Your patience and understanding are appreciated immensely!

I am so privileged to have worked with such amazing, beautiful humans. The courage and vulnerability it takes to have book in that first session with me, and to continue to sit with me and talk about things that are really impacting you. This is not an easy thing to do. Even if you don’t see the strength that it takes to do this, I do, and I am so grateful to be one of the people you trust and feel safe with.

I wanted to add some additional tips on managing body image, food concerns and sensory overwhelm this festive season for anyone who may need it:

🌻Wear something comfortable, such as pants with an elastic band, loose tops, skirts or dresses
🌻Do not engage in talk revolving around diets, weight loss or how much food you have or someone else has eaten. Simply change the conversation or pardon yourself from the chat and walk away
🌻Have a safe person with you at events who you can talk to about your concerns and provide comfort
🌻Take note of a place where you can have some time out if needed
🌻Write down some thoughts and emotions that may be upsetting you
🌻Plan the day
🌻Permit yourself to enjoy Christmas and New Year's
🌻After a big day, engage in self-care, whatever that may look like to you

I am excited for what 2026 brings The Unordinary Dietitian and for my clients. Please be safe and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! 🫶🏼💛

Bleu’s view VS my view every morning☀️

We love our Chobani pouch as part of our breakfast! It has been a process trying to find a minimal few yoghurts that I like in terms of texture and taste, and there is something about eating yoghurt from a pot that messes with my brain (I dunno why but I am likely to gag due to the texture😂). In a pouch, I’m less likely to think about the texture, as it just goes straight down the hatch in 0.5 seconds!
What are your favourite/ tolerable yoghurts?

What I won't be doing as your dietitian 🙅‍♀️

Unfortunately, eating, like many other things in life, doesn't always come easily to some of us. Many factors affect our eating behaviours and relationship with food.

I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I am here to help you make sense of the "why" around food and body image concerns, and provide nutrition education that IS individualised to your needs, goals and preferences.

Are you looking for a safe space to dissect your concerns around food and body image? Well, you've come to the right place! Follow for more affirming content or book an appointment with me via my Linktree in my bio! 🌻🤗

✨The Trifecta: EDS, POTS & MCAS and why they’re so common in neurodivergent folk✨

Did you know that Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) often occur together and even more so in the neurodivergent community?

These three complex, multisystemic conditions can overlap and impact everything from energy, digestion, temperature regulation, and pain, to executive functioning and sensory processing.

🤸‍♂️EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)
A heritable connective tissue disorder that can cause joint hypermobility, chronic pain, fatigue, and tissue fragility.
❤️POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
A form of dysautonomia that affects heart rate and blood flow, often triggered by standing, illness, or stress.
💥MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)
An immune system condition where mast cells overreact to triggers like food, stress, temperature, and hormones, leading to allergy-like and inflammatory symptoms.

These conditions are deeply interconnected and have been found to frequently show up alongside autistic peeps and ADHDers.

Many of us spend years trying to make sense of chronic pain, fatigue, gut issues, and sensory sensitivities before receiving an accurate diagnosis or compassionate care.
You deserve neuroaffirming, chronic-illness-aware nutrition support!

I support neurodivergent and chronically ill clients to find realistic, sustainable nourishment without the diet culture, overwhelm, or shame.
Together, we focus on symptom management, food safety, and rebuilding trust with your body at your own pace. 🤝

With a quiet week I have been able to do some reflecting. Most of the time I don't think the people I see know how extraordinary they are and how honoured I am to be part of this journey with them.

Life can be so bloody hard living with a mental illness. And ontop of that, being in a minority group. I know that it can be difficult opening up to someone, let alone a stranger, about what's going on inside. I also know that it can be rare to find someone you feel safe with to open up to and feel like they "get it". That connection is so important.

Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with me. You are alot stronger than you think 💛

When I'm not consulting, I am probably in the kitchen baking some goodies! Here are some Hen's Party cookies I made recently. I hope the Bride had the best Fiesta! 🎉

🌻Neurodivergent Clinician Symposium 2025🌻

What an amazing event!! Thanks to Lydia for organising this, bringing us all together and allowing us to share our passions and advocate for neuroaffirming practices 💛
your presentation was beyond amazing, thank you for letting other clinicians know that their are dietitians out there who will listen and aren’t there to push people to conform to societal standards of “healthy” eating or thin ideals (for reals, I don’t be eating 5 veggies a day and struggle to eat in general at the best of times).

Thank you to the other presenters promoting authenticity in how we practice and making known of the difficulties neurodiverse individuals and other minority groups go through whether it’s being more likely to have co-occurring conditions like MCAS, POTS, hEDS and ME/CFS and also being more likely to engage in behaviours deemed as “dangerous” or “unsafe” by peers, only because no one seems to understand (or take the time to understand) what is really going on internally for us.

This conference allowed me to reflect on my own experiences growing up which really made the pieces of the puzzle align. I have not felt so accepted and understood in a room full of people.
Thank you so much for making this happen 🥰

P.S Kaiko fidgets are my new obsession, I’ve waited years to finally get some! So to my clients, watch out because I’ll be fangirling over them when I see you all next week 🤪

🌟ANZAED 2025🌟
I’m a bit late to the party; I’ve been recovering from this conference and landed at another one (more on that soon). My highlights were learning more about how to support those with longstanding AN, the term “glacial slowness” to describe treatment (any progress is progress!), understanding best practice methods when working with individuals with ARFID and/or food sensory preferences in ED treatment and Katie Larson’s talk about lived experience leadership 🤗
