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 🤗

03/09/2025

If no one’s told you lately, let this be the reminder that lands gently and sticks around 💛
✨ You can recover. Even when it feels impossibly hard.
✨ You are worthy. Not because of what you do, fix, or achieve but because you exist.
✨ You are strong. Even if all you did today was survive.

Recovery isn’t linear. Some days you’ll need this reminder more than others. That’s okay. You’re allowed to circle back to hope as many times as you need.

📌 Save this for the days that feel heavy.

🌼 What I wish I knew as an adolescent🌼

That food wasn’t the problem and controlling it wouldn’t solve everything.
That my worth didn’t come from being “the good one,” the quiet one, the high achiever or being popular.
That the discomfort I felt in my body wasn’t something to shrink it was a signal that I needed support.
That asking for help wasn’t weakness.
That I was never too much, and never not enough.

If I could sit next to younger me, I’d tell her:
✨ You deserve to be loved.
✨ You don’t need to earn rest, love, or food.
✨Bodies aren't built to stay the same or look the same.
✨ You don't need to pretend to be someone else, just be you.

For anyone growing up feeling overwhelmed, overlooked, or out of place. I see you.
You're not broken or something that needs to be changed or manipulated. You’re just human💛

✨ Let’s bust some myths about eating disorders ✨
There’s so much misinformation out there and these myths can make it harder for people to recognise their struggles, ask for help, or feel worthy of support.

Swipe through to explore some common myths I often hear in sessions, and the real facts behind them.

Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just learning, you deserve access to compassionate, accurate information 💛

That uncomfortable, stretched, anxious feeling…
I know it can feel overwhelming. But here’s your reminder:
Fullness is temporary.
It will pass — just like every other feeling does.

🌿 Fullness is not failure.
🌿 Fullness is not something you need to punish.
🌿 Fullness is a sign that your body is being nourished.

You are not doing something wrong.
You are doing something really brave!

🫶 Be gentle with yourself. This moment will pass and you're not alone in it

✨My Recovery Wins✨
Have you ever thought what it might look like on the other side of an ED? Not everyday is going to be sunshine and rainbows, however, it is so much more brighter here than being kept in the shadows of an ED
Whether you are in the middle of treatment or have made it to the light at the end of the tunnel, no win is too small to celebrate🌈

Other wins I hear of in session include:
🍫Eating a piece of chocolate with little-to-no guilt
🍟Ordering something at a cafe you actually felt like eating
👗Buying that outfit because it made you feel good
🥄Increasing your intake by one mouthful
💭Delaying an ED behaviour for 5 minutes
🛋Having a day of rest

These moments might seem small on the outside but they’re huge in recovery!
And they’re always worth celebrating.

You’re allowed to grow slowly.
You’re allowed to take breaks.
You’re allowed to be proud 🫶

👇 Tell me — what’s a win you’re proud of lately? I’d love to cheer you on 💛
