Nutrition counselling, with care.
Specialised dietitian support for people with eating disorders and mental health concerns.
We help our clients go from confused to enthused about their relationship with food, movement and their bodies.
The Nourished Mind is a boutique dietetics private practice in Balgowlah NSW, helping people develop healthy relationships with food, and live well.
Our values:
-
We work alongside you as our client and honour your experience and self-wisdom. This could look like: in depth assessment of your history, symptoms and lifestyle, or unpacking thoughts and feelings related to food. We aim to remove any hierarchical dynamics reminiscent of traditional healthcare approaches - rather we are present in learning from you, and co-creating a personalised plan that feels relevant and authentic. Call us the anti-food police.
-
We are curious about every possibility, and make no assumptions about the things that make you and your situation unique. We are interested in seeking understanding, rather than casting judgment or providing unsustainable quick fixes. We maintain optimism and hope for the future, and always believe that recovery is possible.
-
We welcome people from all walks of life, of all sizes, genders, ethnicities and identities, with kindness and open arms. All bodies and all stories are valid and worthy to take up space with us.
-
We help you through empowering you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve your own goals. We don’t just tell you what you should do, or hand out generic meal plans and hope for the best. We actually show you how to progress in your own way, setting you up for a future of sustainable balanced eating. We are your ultimate cheerleaders and biggest support in your journey on healing your relationship with food.
Life is too short to be consumed by worries about food and your body.
Working with The Nourished Mind dietitians can help you let go of dieting and figure out what works for you and your body.
