Weight Management
We understand that weight and body image can be deeply personal and, for many, an emotional and ongoing struggle. At Sunshine Coast Family Dietitian, we take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to weight management — meeting you where you’re at, and working alongside you to create realistic, sustainable change.
Whether you’re exploring weight loss for health reasons, managing a medical condition, or using medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g. Ozempic or Mounjaro), we can support you with expert guidance and individualised care.
Our approach is based on whole foods and balanced nutrition, but we also understand the complexities of eating — from cravings and emotional eating to long-standing habits and social pressures. We’ll help you cut through the confusion, find what works for your body, and support you in making changes that feel achievable and respectful of your lifestyle
Menopause & Healthy Ageing
Navigating perimenopause and menopause can bring a range of physical and emotional changes. Weight, energy levels, and body composition often shift in ways that feel frustrating or out of your control. We understand the complexities of hormonal changes and how they impact metabolism, muscle mass, appetite, and overall wellbeing.
We provide evidence-based, individualised support to help you feel strong, nourished, and in control during this stage of life. A key focus is on optimising protein intake to support muscle maintenance, healthy ageing, and metabolic function. We also help you make practical adjustments to your eating patterns to align with your body’s changing needs.
Whether you’re experiencing weight gain around the middle, struggling with fatigue, or trying to stay fit and active as you age, we’re here to help with compassionate, tailored advice. Our goal is to empower you with the tools to age well — with strength, clarity, and confidence.

Selective Eating, Autism and ARFID
Selective Eating is a common and often temporary phase in toddler development, emergin as children become more aware of their sensory experiences and begin to assert their independence by expressing preferences and saying 'no'.
For some children - particularly those with a cautious temperament, a strong need for predictability, a history of negative food experiences such as choking or vomiting, or those with autism - selective eating can become a long-term challenge that significantly impacts the quality and variety of their diet.
In some cases these persistent feeding difficulties may develop into a condition known as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), where a child's eating is so limited or avoidant that it leads to nutritional deficiencies, reliance on supplements, impaired growth, or significant interference with daily functioning.
Regardless of the nature of the problem, management is both helpful and important. We can offer helpful strategies to improve not only a child's variety of accepted food but will help coach parents and their child how to make friends with food.
Insulin Resistance
We are very passionate about helping our clients with Insulin Resistance. If you carry weight around your middle, have high blood pressure, a fatty liver or high cholesterol then you most likely have insulin resistance and are at risk of developing diabetes. For some people a lower carbohydrate diet can be life changing. We will help our clients reduce the risk of disease, achieve a healthier weight, have better energy and all round better health.
