Welcome
Hi, I'm Nicky. I am an ex-corporate with tax and law degrees (!?) who made a career change to nutrition 15 years ago. I am now a registered nutritionist working in Sydney CBD, Rose Bay and online.
I specialise in helping men and women over 40 optimise their health and make informed nutrition choices for a stronger, healthier future.
True health is not defined by weight alone. Weight is one very small part of the bigger picture and it is my belief that it is a distraction. True health, the thing we all want, is reflected in what is happening beneath the scales which is best assessed looking at DEXA body composition scans. DEXA scans tell you where the fat is located: is it good fat or unhealthy visceral fat?
My advice is informed by my lawyer-trained brain, a thirst for understanding the science, years of experience, and a determination for you to succeed.
My approach is to understand what's happening and help you make practical changes that fit your life. I do not offer fad diets or complex supplement regimes.
Please book a complimentary 15 minute chat to see how I might be able to help you.

10-weeks to better health
Look good. Feel good.
10-week diet & lifestyle program
What is it?
A simple but effective 10-week program designed where you follow 10 rules for 10 weeks to kickstart changes that become habits for life.
Who is it for?
For anyone who wants a to get their health back on track. It is ideal for people who already eat well, but would like to lose a few extra kilos or be held accountable to make change.
What is included?
-
A 30-minute private online session to get started
-
A 60-90 minute face-to-face or online private nutrition session to decide your personalised 10 rules
-
Nutrition education and resources
-
Daily tracking system
-
Weekly accountability through tracker submissions
-
Weekly accountability check-ins
-

How it works?
You are held accountable to the 10 rules that you agree at the start. Over time the changes become habits. On average it takes 66 times of doing something before it becomes a habit; this 70-day program ensures your new lifestyle sticks.
What makes it different?
This is not a fad diet and the rules say that you should never be hungry! This is about simple and sensible diet changes, and accountability. You should come away from the program with new habits that you will have with you for the rest of your life.

Frequently asked questions.
Where are consultations held? Do you nave online consultations? Client consultations are held in Sydney CBD (near Circular Quay), Rose Bay or online. Ideally, if possible, the first session should be in person. After this sessions may be online or by phone depending on your needs. My preference is face to face sessions because, in my experience, these are more effective.
How long are consultations? Most consultations are 60 minutes. Your booking consultation should specify how long your consultation will last. Please read this as some are shorter and/or longer.
Where are DEXA scans done? DEXA scans are usually at MeasureUp in Pitt St in Sydney or Melbourne CBD or Newstead in Brisbane. Alternative scanning locations exist around Australia and I can help you to find these.
What do I need to do before my first consultation? Before your first session I ask you to complete two online forms: one is a health questionnaire and one is Terms and Conditions. Sharing your most recent GP blood tests is a huge help to getting a baseline understanding of your health.
When and how do I pay? Payment is usually made after your consultation, by bank transfer or online payment (via Stripe).
What if I have questions after my consultation? Questions between sessions are welcomed using the Chat function in my online Practice Better booking system.
Can I reschedule my consultation? Yes, with 24 hours notice, otherwise the session with be forfeited and charged in full. Rescheduling and cancelling is sometimes inevitable and I will always do my best to accommodate this, but please respect my time and give as much advance notice as possible.
Will I need supplements? I will prioritise food, however there will be certain specific situations where I recommend supplements.
How many sessions will I need? This entirely depends on you - your goals, health history and the amount of support you need. Many people only need 2-3 sessions. Others prefer regular checkins to stay accountable and ask questions.
