About Sunday Dietetics 

I have always wanted to help people achieve healthy and happy lives.

But when I finished school I didn't know exactly in what way.

I first completed a Bachelor in Psychology at the University of New South Wales. After learning more about health psychology, eating disorders, developmental psychology and the importance and impact of nutrition in health and wellbeing I realised I wanted to support people by providing them with practical nutrition advice. So I completed my Bachelor and Masters of Nutrition and Dietetics followed by additional training to become a certified fertility and pregnancy dietitian through the Early Life Nutrition Alliance.

​

Looking back, it makes sense I became a dietitian. My sister was diagnosed with coeliac disease when I was just 3 years old, back in at a time when gluten free foods were only available in health food shops. So for as long as I can remember I have been reading nutrition labels and preparing allergen friendly homemade meals and snacks. Then as a teenager I experienced a number of hormonal challenges (diagnosed hypothyroidism which caused anovulation), followed by hypothalamic amenorrhea and an eating disorder in my early twenties and later unexplained infertility. 

​

As a child I lived in Papua New Guinea where I witnessed the result of poverty and inadequate health care on maternal and childhood disease and death. Through this and my own experiences I became passionate about women's health and supporting less advantaged populations. This led me to complete research in how to optimise perinatal nutrition for women in the Pacific and contribute to the Nutrition Guidelines for Pregnancy in Tonga. 

 

The more I learn from nutrition research the more I have come to appreciate the power of nutrition interventions in supporting overall health, as well as women's health, fertility and pregnancy. After working as a dietitian and in health prevention and promotion in the public health system for a number of years, I set up Sunday Dietetics and now help women and families with empathetic and personalised nutrition support. 

​

It is an absolute privilege to walk alongside people on their health, fertility and perinatal journey. My goal is to always ensure you get the very best care you need. That's why I am dedicated to improving my knowledge and skills through ongoing training and research; collaborating with colleagues across the health system to ensure you receive holistic and cohesive care; and partnering with you to ensure the strategies we develop are achievable and in line with your values.
