Hey, I’m Leanna.
I’m an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD) and Nutritionist who is committed creating a supportive and safe environment for you to share your nutrition goals!
From a young age, I experienced firsthand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the abundance of nutrition myths online. Coupled with unattainable body standards in the media, I understand how easy it is to fall into the trap of following the latest fad diet or spending excessively on supplements, hoping to improve your health and fit in with societal norms. This growing challenge fuelled my passion to become a dietitian, so I can help others break down these misconceptions, make nutrition stress-free, and find peace with food.
Practicing from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework, I aim to prioritise well-being and health promoting habits over weight or weight loss.
Outside of work, you can find me exploring new cafes (I’m cold brew obsessed), reading, tending to my many plants, or sewing tote bags and scrunchies!
My passion areas
I have years of personal experience in plant-based nutrition and love to help individual’s wanting to thrive on a plant-based diet among other styles of eating. Recognising that one diet or style of eating does not fit all, I use clinical expertise to tailor plans that best meet each individual's needs.
