A HUB FOR NUTRITION, FOOD AND EATING FREEDOM

Our aim is to support you with your eating and nutrition to work towards a happy, healthy you. As Accredited Practising Dietitians, we offer one-on-one sessions for assessment and tailored advice, ensuring ongoing support to help you achieve your personal goals. We take the time to understand your life and your unique concerns, and prioritise equipping you with the knowledge and practical skills necessary for making lasting and positive changes in your life. Upholding values of non-judgmental, relatable, and caring guidance, we believe in a collaborative approach, empowering you to make informed choices about your health and well-being while respecting your autonomy. Your health journey is our priority, and we're here to walk alongside you every step of the way. 

We are able to provide nutrition support in a range of areas, including but not limited to:

WEIGHT NEUTRAL CARE

Launceston Dietetics is a weight-neutral practice. This means that rather than focusing on weight reduction, we recognise the diversity of body shapes and sizes and understand that health is not solely determined by a number on the scale. We focus on supporting you to eat in a way that is right for you and your overall health, support you to reconnect with your internal cues of hunger and satiety, and promote a balanced relationship with food. We find this approach vital to promote positive body image, prevent disordered eating and achieve sustainable, long-term health improvements.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)

Have you been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or do you suffer from diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, excessive flatulence or have to run to the loo with little warning? A change in the food you eat can make a huge difference to gut symptoms, and it is equally important to make sure you have a balanced diet for nutritional adequacy and optimal gut health. We can help identify food triggers, make grocery shopping easier and show you how to manage your diet to alleviate any discomfort you may be experiencing, while helping you still be able to enjoy tasty food and eat out socially.

FUSSY EATING & FEEDING DIFFICULTIES

Many children can be fussy eaters but some are harder to handle than others. Some children may not like the shape, colour or texture of particular foods or may like something one day but dislike it the next and this can be particularly stressful as a parent! We can help your child to explore their palate and navigate the world of food, all whilst ensuring they are receiving adequate nutritional intake in order to grow. We also provide support for children with more complex feeding issues including ARFID.

DISABILITY NUTRITION

Living with a disability can present unique challenges when it comes to food, nutrition and everyday eating. We work alongside clients, families, carers and support workers to find practical solutions that fit each person's needs, routines and goals. Our dietitians have experience supporting people with a wide range of disabilities and complex care needs, providing personalised nutrition advice that promotes health, independence and overall wellbeing. We take the time to understand what matters most to each individual, creating realistic strategies that are flexible, achievable and tailored to their lifestyle.

BARIATRIC & GLP-1 MEDICATION SUPPORT

GLP-1 medicines can be a helpful tool, but nutrition remains essential for supporting health and long-term outcomes. We help you optimise your nutrition while using these medications, including managing side effects and appetite changes, meeting protein and nutrient needs, maintaining muscle mass and developing sustainable eating patterns. Our approach is practical, personalised and focused on helping you feel your best while working towards your goals. We can also provide individualised support before and after bariatric surgery, helping you meet your nutritional requirements, establish sustainable eating habits and navigate any challenges you may encounter along the way.

WOMENS HEALTH & PERIMENOPAUSE

Hormonal changes at different stages of life can affect many aspects of your health, including energy levels, appetite, digestion, body composition and bone health. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, PMOS/PCOS or other hormone-related concerns, our dietitians are here to support you. We take the time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle and goals, then work with you to develop realistic strategies that make eating well feel more manageable. Our aim is to help you feel confident in nourishing your body while reducing the stress that can often come with meal planning and food choices.

PLANT BASED NUTRITION

Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian or simply looking to include more plant-based foods in your diet, we can help you eat well while meeting your nutritional needs. Our advice is tailored to your lifestyle, food preferences and health goals, so you can feel confident that you're getting the nutrients your body needs. Whether you're new to plant-based eating or have been following this way of eating for years, we can provide practical support with meal planning, optimising nutrient intake, managing specific health conditions, and fuelling sport and exercise. Our focus is on creating an eating pattern that is balanced, enjoyable and realistic for your everyday life.

AGED CARE NUTRITION

Eating well becomes even more important as we get older. Good nutrition helps maintain energy, strength and muscle mass, supports the management of ongoing health conditions and can reduce the risk of malnutrition. Our team can provide practical and personalised nutrition recommendations tailored to your individual needs, helping you or your loved one enjoy nourishing meals, support overall health, and continue eating with confidence. We can prescribe nutritional supplements to help manage malnutrition and provide services under the Support At Home Program (Home Care/Aged Care Package).

EATING DISORDERS & DISORDERED EATING

Our senior dietitians Georgia Rossetto and Jodie Spradbury have undertaken additional training to support clients with disordered eating and eating disorders. We can help translate scientific information into practical advice surrounding food and normal eating. We can prescribe dietary treatments for people with eating disorders and support you to take charge of your own eating to help you reduce stress around food and get back to the more important things in your life. We work with adolescents and adults as individuals and also as part of family based therapies and collaborative care teams for a holistic approach to recovery.
