(She/Her)

Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), Nutritionist (BHSc)

Michelle’s journey into nutrition began through a lifelong passion for caring for others. From a young age, she dreamed of becoming a veterinary nurse and spent close to two decades working in this role. It was during this time and through further study in animal nutrition, supporting pet parents, navigating shift work and trying to prioritise her own health - that Michelle developed a deep appreciation for the powerful role nutrition plays in improving quality of life.

While working in veterinary practice, Michelle completed a Bachelor of Health Science at Deakin University, majoring in Nutrition, followed by a Master of Dietetics. She now provides person-centred, evidence-based care and is passionate about supporting clients through clear, compassionate education. Michelle prides herself on effective communication, helping people build the skills and confidence to make nutrition choices that work in real life—not just on paper.

As a Fitzroy North local and mum to two young children, Michelle understands firsthand the demands of busy family life. She is deeply aware of the challenges many women face in balancing caring responsibilities, work, and their own wellbeing. Her approach supports busy mums to nourish themselves alongside their families, recognising that caring for yourself is not a luxury—it’s essential.

Michelle brings lived experience to her work in pregnancy, postpartum recovery, returning to exercise, and the day-to-day practicality of planning and feeding a family. This informs her realistic, flexible approach to nutrition care, focused on progress rather than perfection.

Michelle has special interests in family and paediatric nutrition, women’s health (including gut health, weight management and menopause), eating disorders, and oncology nutrition care. She works collaboratively with individuals, families, and healthcare teams to provide supportive, non-judgemental care at every stage of life.

Michelle offers dietetic consultations face-to-face and via Telehealth on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays (Telehealth only).
