Choose Nutrition - East Maitland

No one should be treated differently because of the size of their body. All bodies deserve respect and care. We are weight-neutral at Choose Nutrition.

Hi, I’m Meg, Founder and Principal Dietitian at Choose Nutrition. I’m so glad you are investigating how you can make positive health change.

It is my mission to be part of a positive shift in dietetics toward an understanding and compassionate model of care. I’m not happy with the judgement and guilt that too many people feel about what they eat or how they feed their family. There can be so much fear, confusion and uncertainty about healthy eating, making it hard to make good choices. I aim to help you find your answers, to empower you to feel confident and relaxed about food, while you feed yourself and your family.

Too many people have seen dietitians and come away feeling judged, treated like a child, or just “told what not to eat”. This doesn’t help people make positive improvements to their health and is not what we are about. At Choose Nutrition we use the “Non-diet Approach” to nutrition. an evidence-based approach to health improvement based on principles of respect, compassionate self-care, and critical awareness. Utilising this framework and a client-centred care model, my approach will empower you to make permanent positive change and support you with compassionate care throughout the whole process.
