Philosophy of an Eating Disorder Dietitian

Practising through a weight neutral, non-diet evidence based lens. This involves improving your health and working towards goals without restriction. Helping guide you towards a flexible eating pattern that is sustainable for you and your life stage. 

At Return Nutrition care is delivered from the Health at Every Size® (HAES®) paradigm. This means you'll be supported in compassionate and meaningful way, regardless of body size or shape and without the pursuit of intentional weight loss. This approach is respectful and promotes eating for well being. It displaces the idea that we can judge a person’s health by their weight.

Together we will explore what health means to you and establish what your  priorities are. Whatever stage you are at, we work collaboratively to foster a positive relationship with food and your body. Moving forward as a team with your health care providers, such as your GP and Psychologist, to achieve the safest and most appropriate care available.
