About me…
Hi! I’m Katie, an accredited and practicing Clinical Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science, in Nutritional Medicine & Dietetics (ANTA member no 23025). I love educating clients on nutrition, wellness and health. I run workshops on diverse health topics and offer practical guidance on utilising nutrition to enhance health.
Can I share a bit of my story with you?
Whilst I enjoy all aspects of nutritional medicine, I love the area of women’s health and have a special interest in preconception and postnatal care. This stemmed from my own experience.
After growing and nurturing two beautiful babies, I found myself incredibly depleted. It affected my mental health and I suffered from postnatal depression. I was beyond exhausted, irritable and struggling to get through the long days. All the while wondering what was wrong with me - that I wasn’t finding ‘joy’ in my new role as Mummy.
I came to realise that while feeling this way is incredibly common - it’s not normal and we shouldn’t accept it as so. I got help, I prioritised my health and I focussed on giving my body the food and nutrients it was screaming out for. Slowly, I found my way out of that dark place and haven’t looked back. Since then, I’ve seen how often postnatal depletion occurs and I understand that there are many paths on the journey back to health & vitality.
I’m so incredibly passionate about helping other mum’s find the support and nourishment they need and deserve.
As a mother, my other passion is helping parents’ feed their kids wholesome food, which will provide them with the best start to life. I love coming up with strategies and tools to help with fussy eating. The goal of any treatment plan I give to my clients, is to have achievable and practical dietary recommendations that make improving your child’s nutritional intake and health easy.
When I’m not in clinical practice, you’ll find me in the kitchen trying to sneak extra veggies into my daughters’ food, tending to my veggie patch or working on our regenerative farm in Bethanga, Vic.
