About Live Well Nutrition
Practical, evidence-based nutrition support built around you.
We believe good nutrition shouldn't mean following rigid rules or trying to fit your life around a diet. Our approach combines nutrition science with practical strategies tailored to your health, lifestyle, preferences and goals.
Live Well Nutrition grew from a genuine interest in helping people improve their health, performance and quality of life.
Before pursuing a career in nutrition and dietetics, I spent several years working in the technology industry. Over time, I realised that the part of my work I found most rewarding was working with people, sharing knowledge and helping others make positive changes.
My experience as a personal trainer reinforced this. I saw first-hand that knowing what to do is often only part of the challenge. People also need reliable information, practical guidance and the right level of support and accountability to turn good intentions into lasting habits.
That ultimately led me to pursue dietetics and create Live Well Nutrition — bringing together evidence-based nutrition, practical advice and individualised support to help people make changes that work in real life.
Why Live Well Nutrition?
CORU Registered Dietitian | DI068776
Founder of Live Well Nutrition
I hold an MSc in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, a BSc in Nutrition and Health Science, a BBus (Honours) in Business, and a BBus in Recreation and Leisure Management. My dietetic training included experience across a range of clinical and community settings, supporting people with different health and nutritional needs. I'm also a qualified personal trainer and exercise instructor, with experience supporting people both one-to-one and in group settings.
Sport and exercise have always been a major part of my life. I've competed in Ironman and ultra-distance triathlons, ultramarathons, marathons and HYROX, alongside more than 20 years of competitive football and regular strength training. These experiences have contributed to a particular interest in sports nutrition, exercise performance and body composition, alongside my broader work in health and nutrition.
Outside of nutrition and training, I'm a big film and reading fan and love travelling. I've visited more than 50 countries and am usually planning the next one.
