Hi there, I'm Maddy, an eating disorder practitioner
Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), Accredited Nutritionist (AN) & Registered Nurse (RN)
Welcome.
As an eating disorder dietitian, I support women and families to create connection with meals, without deprivation and with food they enjoy.
Hi. I’m Maddy. I teach people how to tap out of the diet mentality and trust their body. I work with many families and carers to support responsive feeding practices with children, or anyone experiencing an eating disorder.
To achieve this, I draw from many frameworks such as mindful eating, responsive feeding therapy and Ellyn Satter’s division of responsibility in feeding (sDOR).
Using a Health At Every Size (HAES)® lense in my practice, I apply a respectful approach to nutrition. Consequently, you will walk away feeling heard and appreciated.
Consultations with me do not focus on weight. Instead, I discuss what food means to you or your child, what your favourite meal is, and how you like to move your body. Your relationship with food and how that affects your eating is also explored. su
Did You Know:
- I have lived experience with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for over 20 years, which led me to become a Dietitian.

- My number one favourite food is rice pudding.
- I have trypophobia, which is a fear of small holes. Not sure why, but they absolutely freak me out!

Working with Madeleine
Commencing nutrition consultations can be daunting. After all, Dietitians are known to be a privileged bunch of mostly white, thin, cis-gendered, hetero females. I wholeheartedly acknowledge my multiple privileges that allow me to work in my chosen career. I am constantly learning and striving to do better. I am open and promise to do the best for you. Curious to see how I work?
