Dietitian Sunshine Coast
About Chrissy
I am a university-qualified nutritionist, certified health coach, nutritional therapy practitioner, and published writer with a deep, investigative, and holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
I believe that nutrients are nature’s medicine, true health begins in the gut, and the body thrives when we align with its innate wisdom. However I also combine the latest scientific research with cutting-edge diagnostic tests to uncover root causes and restore balance.
My expertise spans gut health, food intolerances, nutrient deficiencies, longevity, postnatal depletion, perimenopause, and skin health—helping clients regain vitality and resilience through personalized nutrition.
With a degree in nutrition from La Trobe University, a certification in health coaching from Food Matters, HTMA certification, and specialized training in gut health from Colorado University, I bring a strong foundation of evidence-based knowledge to my practice.
My Philosophy
Personalised nutrition, a healthy microbiome, correcting nutrient deficiencies & imbalances are the cornerstones of optimal health & vitality.
In a previous chapter of my life, I worked in marketing—a field I enjoyed, but one that ultimately couldn’t fulfill my deeper calling. My turning point came when I found myself exhausted, foggy-headed, and struggling with persistent skin issues, chronic acne, anxiety, and low mood. Despite being told by doctors that everything was “normal,” my body was telling a different story.
After years of searching for answers—from many doctors and specialists—I finally realised that true healing required me to take full responsibility for my own health. Through a combination of evidence-based nutrition, holistic principles, and deep investigative work, I transformed my energy, mood, skin, and overall vitality.
Now, my mission is to help others experience the same transformation. No one should have to accept feeling unwell as their baseline—I’m here to empower people with the knowledge and tools to reclaim their health and thrive.
Health is the real wealth, because when you lose your health, it becomes the only thing that matters
