I was five when I first felt shame around food. Food was love and comfort in my family—but I was also told I was eating too much, that I had to “watch my weight.” By eight, I was already binge eating.
Our lives should be filled with joys, memories and experiences, not anxiety & guilt from food & body.

Why I’m Here
Like many, I chased “health” through what I now know were diets—keto, detoxes, fasting. I even did a 17-day cleanse that ended with me fainting. Each time, I thought this will fix it. Each time, I ended up bingeing and blaming myself.
I studied nutrition to "gain control," but learning about binge eating disorder was my lightbulb moment. It wasn’t a willpower issue—it was my relationship with food. Still, it wasn’t easy, too many times I felt hopeless and clueless about what to do and how to do it.
It took me years to realise that breaking free is a journey—there’s no one-size-fits-all fix. That’s why I created a framework that’s helped hundreds find the same freedom I did. Just food freedom and a life that’s bigger than binge eating. Because this isn’t about willpower, and it sure as hell isn’t a life sentence. You deserve better.

MY BINGE & FOOD FREEDOM APPROACH
“It’s not just about stopping binge eating — it’s about living a life of true freedom.”
As a binge eating specialist dietitian, my goal is to help you un-trap your best years in food and body struggles and start living a life full of dreams, goals, and freedom.
I focus on more than just nutrition—I’ll guide you through a deeper transformation by challenging limiting beliefs, breaking free from self-criticism. Together, we’ll address the whole package: body, mind, and behaviours.
As a clinician, I strive to practice & continuously improve on:
-
Solid critical understanding of scientific evidence
-
Learning from YOUR lived experience & past stories
-
My skills in identifying root causes, and leveraging your strengths to motivate you to make changes
-
Building a strong trusting partnership together
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. With experience in both research and clinical dietetics, I know what works in theory doesn’t always work in practice. Recovery isn’t linear—it’s messy, beautiful, and unique to you.
That’s why I’m here—to help you find the right strategies for you. We’ll work together to figure out what clicks for your body, lifestyle, and long-term happiness. No rules. No gimmicks. Just you, living a life free from the constant pull of food and body obsession.
HOW I CAN HELP YOU
Few fun facts about me
I was born at 53 weeks of gestation
It freaked everyone out! As my mum was only 19, she was scared to do a C-section, so I stayed in my mum's womb for 13 extra weeks
My sister is my best friend
We are technically twins - grew up together, and went to the same elementary, primary, secondary school, and even the same university for our bachelor's degrees. Later I did my Master's at the University of Sydney, and she did hers at the University of Melbourne, and I moved down to Melbourne right after graduation.
I love vegetables, but I'm a picky eater
Things I don’t like include: soy sauce, ketchup, capsicums, raw tomatoes, gourds, pumpkin, okra, a lot of juices, a lot of pickled vegetables..... (raw coconut products upset my guts, but cooked is fine - I have no idea why)
