Our Story
The Pregnancy Dietitian was born during the global pandemic — a time when women were overwhelmed by conflicting messages and left without the personalised nutrition support they deserved.
With a background in both Food Science and Dietetics, I saw how one-size-fits-all advice simply wasn’t serving women, especially those from diverse cultural backgrounds. During my time as a Nutrition Advisor for Nestlé Australia, I watched well-meaning professionals hand out generic brochures to women from all walks of life — expecting everyone to thrive on the same guidance. That moment sparked a deeper drive in me to create something different.
While navigating personal grief and the challenges of COVID, I studied for the highly competitive Dietitian Skills Recognition (DSR) exam — the official pathway for internationally trained dietitians — and passed on my first attempt. In 2022, The Pregnancy Dietitian gained Medicare approval, formally recognising the clinic as a provider of evidence-based, accredited care in Australia.
Thanks to the support of the Director at Perth Maternity, I began this journey in a small consulting room with a big vision. Today, that vision has grown into a trusted, inclusive clinic supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and weight loss surgery recovery.
My mission is simple but powerful: to help women feel confident nourishing themselves and their families with advice that’s rooted in science, lived experience, and cultural respect.
