She is passionate about guiding clients through letting go of the dieting mindset, to making peace with food once and for all. She incorporates the Health At Every Size (HAES®) and the Non-Diet approach (Intuitive eating) principles to direct her practice.

Nicole has a special interest in eating disorders and the non-diet approach to health. She has a kind, empathetic, compassionate and non-judgemental nature about her, as she works to develop a trusting relationship with her clients by utilising the person-centred framework. She is devoted to her clients and ensures a safe space is created where her clients can feel supported through their healing journey.

She strongly believes through everyone’s healing journey, there are no failures only learning experiences. She is committed to her clients every step of the way.

Alongside Nicole’s work in private practice, she works at an aged care where she delivers support to the elderly to reduce the risk of Malnutrition, which is very prominent in this age group.
