‘If it’s about nutrition ask a dietitian!’

(Association for Dietetics SA)

I would love to help by giving you sound, consistent, evidence-based nutrition advice tailored to meet your unique, individual needs.

Hi, I’m Bridget!

I’m a registered dietitian.

Following a healthy lifestyle can be challenging. With so many fad diets and nutritional information out there, navigating your way to better health can be overwhelming. As a registered dietitian I love implementing nutritional and lifestyle strategies to improve health outcomes in practical ways! Being a certified lactation specialist, I also help moms with pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post-pregnancy nutritional advice.

Bridget is warm and caring and easy to talk to. She took time to understand my eating habits and insecurities. Bridget helped me to get back on track by explaining nutrition and how insulin resistance has a huge impact on weight loss. She took time to create a personalised plan and recommends swaps for me. Her knowledge and advice has truly helped me gain a better understanding of what I need to do on a daily basis to live a healthier and happier lifestyle in a realistic manner. I am still working on myself but not from a place of hate but from a place of self love and avoid yo-yo diets.
