What I Don’t Do: Quick Fixes, Body Shaming, or “Just Try Harder” Advice

If you’re over the guilt, the food rules, and the pressure to shrink your body, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. I don’t set weight loss targets that make you feel like a failure when the scale doesn’t budge. I don’t promote restrictive meal plans or tell you it’s all about willpower. And I certainly don’t believe your health is defined by how you look.

What I do is offer a safe, supportive space where midlife women can unlearn diet culture, reconnect with their bodies, and build sustainable habits that support real health—physical, emotional, and mental. No fads. No shame. Just evidence-based support that honours this stage of life.

  • I don’t believe any one food is 'good' or 'bad'

    Eating should not come with rules or restrictions, nor should it be a source of shame or guilt. It’s time to let go of the morale labels we have attached to food. Instead, we’ll focus on creating a balanced approach to your eating where no foods are ‘off limits’ and you feel empowered to make choices that support your health and meet your needs as an individual that deserves nourishment.

  • I don't focus on weight loss goals - Because there is so much more to strive for

    It’s completely understandable to feel the pressure to lose weight when society constantly upholds thinness as the beauty ideal. I’ve felt it too — the desire to fit in, to have a different body, to meet impossible standards. But here’s the truth: shrinking your body is not the solution you’re looking for.

    When weight loss becomes the main focus, it often overshadows what truly matters. That’s why I help women in midlife shift their focus from the number on the scale to what actually brings them health, joy, and fulfilment.

    Together, we’ll uncover what’s important to you — your values, your purpose, and what makes you feel your best. Then we’ll build habits that support those goals in a sustainable, compassionate way. Because your wellbeing is about so much more than a number on the scales.

  • I don’t make unrealistic promises

    You won’t find grand claims about “body transformations,” “fat-burning foods,” or “miracle results” here. I don’t use before-and-after photos or promote quick fixes that promise a thinner body as the ultimate goal.

    Instead, I offer a personalised, sustainable approach to health and nutrition—one that supports your physical and emotional wellbeing during midlife and perimenopause. As a non-diet dietitian, I help women let go of unrealistic expectations and focus on what truly matters: how you feel, how you function, and how you care for yourself in a way that lasts.

    This isn’t about chasing a certain look—it’s about building realistic, long-term habits that support your whole health: mind, body, and soul.

  • I don’t promote calorie counting or obsessive food tracking

    If you’re tired of tracking every bite or stressing over calories, you’re not alone. Constant food monitoring can lead to anxiety, guilt, and a disconnection from your body’s natural signals. It’s not a sustainable or joyful way to live—especially during midlife, when your needs are shifting and your body deserves care, not control.

    Instead of promoting restrictive food rules, I guide women in midlife toward intuitive eating—a mindful, evidence-based approach to nourishing your body without obsession. Together, we’ll focus on reconnecting with your internal cues for hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and emotional wellbeing.

    You don’t need another app or spreadsheet to tell you how to eat. You need to trust your body again—and I’m here to help you do just that with a non-diet, holistic approach to nutrition for midlife women.

  • So, what DO I do?

    I help midlife women move away from dieting and toward a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies. True wellbeing isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s about how you think about food, your body, and your health.

    Using behaviour change science and a compassionate, non-diet approach, I help you understand the why behind your eating habits—both the conscious and unconscious drivers—and guide you in creating new patterns that actually work for your life. This is about sustainable, meaningful change that reconnects you to your body’s wisdom and supports your health through perimenopause and beyond.

    Let’s stop chasing unrealistic ideals and start building real, lasting habits that support your version of health—physically, mentally, and emotionally. No more food guilt. No more dieting. Just practical, personalised support from a qualified nutrition professional who understands what midlife women really need.
