Who are we?

Hi everyone,

As a Physio at WLC Medical, it’s my job to help keep you moving and doing the things you want to do.

This first involves sitting down and discussing your injury and/or pain to discuss the what, how and why. Being able to determine the root cause of an injury and any possible barriers to recovery goes a long way to ensuring positive outcomes and reduced risk of recurring injuries.

From there we assess, diagnose and treat as required, often with a basic home program given to provide the tools necessary for recovery. My goal is to achieve results as quickly as possible, keeping you out of the clinic and back to what’s important to you.

From a weight management perspective, this can involve Body Composition Analysis which we complete within the clinic. It involves measuring your body in terms of muscle/fat/fluid mass (at no extra cost), as well as treating any injuries and teaching you how to get the best out of your body.

With WLC Medical operating as a Registered NDIS Provider, I treat a broad range of NDIS patients both within our clinic and travel to people’s home, while also completing Functional Capacity Assessments on request to assist in funding approval and allocation.

As the Director of WLC Medical, it’s my job to make sure that the whole experience for you, from online to within the clinic and beyond, meets and maybe even exceeds your expectations.

I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian, who is dedicated to providing evidence-based nutrition that’s tailored to your individual needs.

At your initial appointment, I will ask about your medical history, health goals, food habits and lifestyle. Using this information, I will then discuss with you about how changes to your diet can help you to improve your health and achieve your personal health goals. It’s a good idea to bring along any recent blood test results and any relevant medical records.

I use a unique approach involving metabolism testing, which measures factors like resting metabolic rate and fat burning. Rather than guessing what might be happening metabolically, we test! This information, combined with a thorough assessment, is used to create a nutrition plan that is tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

My experience in dietetics extends across a range of health and nutrition areas, including but not limited to:

Weight loss

Metabolic Health

Low carbohydrate / Ketogenic Diets

Type 2 Diabetes (including prevention, management and remission).

Fatty Liver Disease

Insulin resistance

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Eating Disorders

Fussy Eating / Picky Eating in kids.

I’ve been working as a dietitian since 2016 and find myself in the fortunate position of loving my job! When people come to see a dietitian they have a nutrition-related health problem that they are trying to solve. My job is about helping others to solve such problems and that’s what I love. By working together with my clients, we aim to find the missing pieces to the puzzle and make a plan to start filling in those gaps. It is incredibly rewarding to help others achieve their goals and make profound, lasting positive changes to their lives.

I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian dedicated to empowering clients through evidence-based knowledge and habits. After all, it is the behaviours we do most regularly that can have the largest influence on our long-term health. As a professional, I am committed to getting to know my patients for who they are and their individual health goals. It is important to learn about a clients’ health journey to know how to help them achieve their health goals.

At WLC Medical, we use metabolic testing with each client to understand their metabolic rate and efficiency of burning different fuels (i.e. fats and carbohydrates). This information is entirely unique to you, and guides us on how we can modify your diet and lifestyle to reach your goals. You may have come across equations on the internet that estimate your metabolic rate, however these are often inaccurate and provide a singular numerical answer.

In an initial appointment, we will discuss past medical history, medications, lifestyle and your general eating patterns – I completely understand that life can make healthy eating all of the time impossible, in fact that’s the reality! My role is to understand where you want to be and what are the realistic ways to get you there. If you have any recent blood tests, please bring them along to your appointments as well. Appointments following your initial will be check ins – how did you go, re-testing your metabolism, what strategies worked, which strategies didn’t work and why.

Outside of WLC Medical, I work as a clinical dietitian in a private hospital. I have many years of experience working in specialty areas working alongside other health professionals, and years of experience in private practice helping people with chronic health conditions (Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, PCOS), fussy eating and failure to thrive, weight management, intolerances (IBS) and allergies, and those on the NDIS.

I look forward to working with you!

I believe that clients are the experts of their lives. My aim is to build a therapeutic alliance and within the structure of this alliance, empower each client with education, confidence and self- awareness. I look forward to working with you to access your strengths, develop goals and equip you with the strategies and tools, to work towards the meaningful changes you want to see in your life.

I am a fully registered Psychologist and qualified Personal Trainer. Additionally, I am a member of the Australian and New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS) and World Obesity, and internationally recognised for obesity management expertise through the Strategic Centre for Obesity Professional Education (SCOPE).

My qualifications consist of a Master in Applied Psychology (Murdoch University) and a Master in Exercise Science (University of Western Australia). I have also co-authored and published peer-reviewed research into motivation and expectations.

I have psychological experience in both the public and private sector and have treated a wide range of psychological issues, including but not limited to: difficulties with emotional regulation, personal improvement, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

I understand the importance of establishing an effective, warm, and trusting relationship with the client, and given that each individual is unique, I recognise that approaches should be tailored to your specific needs.

I have also personally trained, participated and competed in a wide range of sports and physical activity, including: water polo, hockey, body boarding, beach volleyball, power and Olympic lifting, CrossFit, body recomposition and military style training. I love to experiment and constantly try different types of physical activity.

Above all else, enjoyment is paramount.
