Maddie takes a compassionate, holistic approach to nutrition care, dedicated to helping individuals build a positive and sustainable relationship with food and their body.

 

With a background in counselling skills and a trauma-informed approach, she recognises that true well-being goes beyond dietary choices—it’s about understanding personal history, experiences, and emotions around food.

Maddie works from a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach, which means she focuses on physical and mental health and well-being, without using weight as a measure of success. This can include providing a safe space to explore any discomforts in weight, body size or shape. Instead of promoting weight loss, she helps people reconnect with their body's cues, build trust with food, and explore eating in a way that supports their overall health.

​

She is deeply committed to creating a respectful, inclusive environment where people of all body sizes, genders, sexualities, disabilities, and neurotypes feel genuinely safe, seen, and supported. Maddie tailors her care to meet each person where they are, helping them navigate their relationship with food in a way that aligns with their values and lived experience.

 

Maddie enjoys sharing her expertise in both nutrition science and her personal experience with culturally diverse cooking to empower individuals with practical, nourishing, and satisfying food choices.

With experience working across all life stages, Maddie has a special interest in eating disorders, disordered eating, mood disorders, ADHD, and ASD. She takes a client-centered approach, ensuring each person receives tailored support that meets their unique needs.

As a proud inner north local, Maddie’s love of food led her to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Dietetic Practice. Her career has spanned private practice, community health, and supporting individuals through the NDIS and home-care sectors.

Outside of work, Maddie loves spending time in nature—whether it’s at the beach, bushwalking, or camping. She also enjoys joyful movement, including yoga, tap dancing, netball, and basketball. As an avid foodie, she’s always on the lookout for new cafes, restaurants, and bars to explore in Melbourne’s north.

Maddie offers in-person and Telehealth dietetic consultations for individuals aged 16 and over.
