Food Therapy and Nutrition Consultations
There are hundreds of factors that influence your health. We specialise in women's health and disordered eating behaviours. We want to support our clients live a vibrant and joyful life.
Rachel works with individuals, couples and families to support them to optimise their nutrition, restore their relationshop with food and their body and work towards their goals in a way that nurtures them.
She merges her experience as a clinical dietitian and her knowledge of neuroscience and psychological theories to provide a whole systems approach. Rather than treating the symptoms or presenting issues, she explores deeper in a way that it gentle and nurturing.
Everyone is deserving of feeling energised, nurtured and free from anxiety around eating

THE PROBLEM IS:
THERE IS SO MUCH MISINFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET OR FROM UNQUALIFIED PRACTITIONERS.
Rachel and her colleagues are a team highly specialised nutrition and therapeutic professionals (meet us here) so they are regulatoed by professional bodies and have to use the latest up to date evidence and decades of working in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
Rachel supports individuals experiencing disordered eating symptoms as well as those with diagnosed eating disorders including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, AFRID, Binge Eating Disorder, Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified, PICA and Exercise Compulsion. Rachel supports adults, teenagers, children and infants.
You are the leader of your journey
The Nurture Circle stands proud in the eating disorder, body image and fitness space; but as a tri trained practitioner Rachel also works with individuals to improve their nutrition and lifestyle around fertility, IBS, hair loss, fibromyalgia, deficiencies, PCOS, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, ADHD and more.
You know your body and symptoms best, Rachel listens and honour this and uses an evidence basis to make recommendations that are realistic for your lifestyle.
She may explore psycho-nutrition education, nutritional rehabilitation, meal planning, supplemental requirements, coping skills and practises, lifestyle adaptations, movement integration and relaxation practises to guide you towards your goal.
The way we eat reflects the way we live
Rachel uses a three stage model in her dietetic therapy and counselling; firstly creating safety, stability and symptom management; moving into deeper exploration and compassionate acceptance; and finally, integration supporting you to reconnect to yourself and the world around you.
The Nurture Circle is
anti diet culture,
but not anti "diet" ...
nor are we pro diet.
If you would like to pursue making changes to your physical body, for example pursuing fat loss, this is something that can be explored alongside other nutrition goals. If your goal is recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea, disordered eating or to improve your relationship with food, eating and/or your body then any weight or fat loss goals may need to be put on pause, which we understand can be difficult.
Nurturance and compassion are the leading values in our practise
It is important that you feel cared for and that you matter, because you do.
