Nutrition support for disordered eating & body image
Take a moment to imagine if you…
stopped listening to diet culture and started listening to your body
felt connected with your body instead of at war with it
weren’t completely fixated on food and your body image
weren’t consumed by the fear of weight gain
valued your health and performance over your body shape
felt confident in your body without changing it
didn’t let your body image impact your self-worth
found value in yourself outside your appearance
let go of toxic food rules, self-doubt, overthinking and guilt
felt normal and in control around food
What would that life look life? How different would you feel day-to-day? How might your mental and physical health change? Is that life more comfortable, content, joyful, fun, exciting, adventurous, relaxing, fulfilling and free? Is that version of you stronger, healthier, less anxious, happier, confident and more engaged?
My guess is that the answer is yes to all of the above. It was for me and the hundreds of other people I’ve worked with, who felt just like you do now before they decided to stop letting food and body image consume their life.
“Every appointment feels like a safe, non-judgmental space where I feel heard and supported. She takes the time to really listen and tailor her advice to what works best for me personally, not just what looks good on paper. I always leave feeling encouraged, more confident, and empowered to keep working toward my goals.”
- Abby
She helps me focus on what actually matters; how my body feels and functions. She makes navigating a world of immense food noise significantly easier and I'm so grateful for her expertise. Not only is Zoe ED safe, she's also really kind and safe around trans stuff and AuDHD stuff. I recommend her to everyone I talk to who's navigating a difficult relationship with food.”

Find freedom from food, regain your brain space & shift your focus from weight & body shape to health & well-being
I am extremely passionate about supporting individuals to achieve a healthy relationship with food and their body. This passion has stemmed from my own experience with disordered eating, the impact it had on every aspect of my life and how immensely better EVERYTHING felt once I healed. You can read more about my experience here. My passion has continued to grow with every young person, family and adult I have supported to achieve the same over the last few years.
I have been recognised as a Credential Eating Disorder Clinician through the Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders. This credentialing system was developed to “recognise qualifications, knowledge, training, and professional development activities needed to meet minimum standards for the delivery of safe and effective eating disorders treatment.” It allows individuals to identify specialised services to support them in healing their relationship with food and their body.
I work with people of all ages, genders, cultures and sexualities. Everybody in every body is welcome.
Sessions can be individual or family-based, depending on the needs of the client. This service is suited to anyone with a diagnosis of binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, OSFED or UFED. Additionally, anyone who engages in disordered eating behaviours, has disordered thoughts about food or their body, has poor body image or body dysmorphia.
“Basically, if you want to feel more normal around food and neutral about your body instead of being consumed by body weight/shape/size and diet culture, this service is for you.”
Unsure if this is you? The Eating Disorder Examination questionnaire can help identify if you need support. If you would like to discuss your score, contact me and I’ll be more than happy to help. You can book a free 15-minute phone consult to identify what support is right for you.
Who is this service for?
Support tailored to you.
There is no one size fits all. My dietetic treatment approach differs depending on the individual, their eating disorder presentation and severity, supports available and engagement in other treatment. The most important and initial focus of treatment is to create a connection and build your trust so we can work together effectively. I aim to bring a lot of empathy and understanding to every session to create a safe, comfortable space to work through the challenges and achieve real food freedom and body neutrality. My personal experience with disordered eating combined with many, many hours of professional development have equipped me with the skillset to achieve this.
My support is informed by the following approaches & models:
Non-diet approach
Trauma-informed dietetic care
Neuro-affirming care
Body neutrality
Intuitive eating principles
HAES approach
Family-based therapy
RAVES model
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Externalising the eating disorder

What my clients have experienced
She has helped me with understanding the true meaning of being healthy and that it has very little to do with the number on the scales.
Nicole
Zoe is compassionate and provides a very safe space to discuss and work through food related issues. Since working with Zoe I have experienced significant improvements in my relationship with food that I wasn’t sure would be possible when I first sought help.
LH
Zoe has also counselled me and helped me to remove unhealthy thoughts and ideas around food. But it always just felt like a chat with a friend which I love.
Logan
Zoe helped me successfully to work on my body image last year and I can now confidently say, that I love my body no matter how much I’m exercising, eating etc.
Dana
Zoe is amazing! She has really helped me improve my relationships with food and with my body. We aren't worried about how I look but more about how I feel and my health. I am so glad we've been able to work together.
