Accessibility & Inclusion
Hello, you and your body are always welcome in this space
This is a space where every body belongs. I aim to positively support the health and wellbeing of people of all sizes, shapes, weights, backgrounds, genders, ages, sexualities, races, cultures, languages, neurotypes, abilities, disabilities, and identities.
-
The consultation room is gently lit with warm white floor lamps to create a low stimulation, calming environment. There is no overhead fluorescent lighting in this space, which helps reduce sensory overload. The lighting is non-flickering, and desk lamps available if the floor lamps feel too bright.
The waiting area has standard overhead fluorescent lighting, which may be brighter and less suitable for those with sensory sensitivities.
-
The consultation room is typically quiet with minimal background noise. Soft, calming music is played in the waiting area and can be turned off on request. You’re very welcome to bring noise-cancelling headphones or other sensory supports that help you feel more comfortable.
-
There are a few seating options available in the consultation room, including a couch, an armchair, a desk with two chairs, and a rug if you prefer sitting on the floor. You’re welcome to choose whatever feels most comfortable for you.
In the waiting area, armchairs are available.
Armchairs: Seat pad measures 50 cm wide by 52 cm deep, with 58 cm between the armrests.
Couch: Seating area is 118 cm wide and 50 cm deep.
Desk chairs: Seating area is 43 cm wide and 43 cm deep.
-
Weighing clients is not a routine part of my practice, and there are no visible scales in the consultation room. In situations where it is medically necessary, such in cases of restrictive eating disorders or unexplained weight loss, weight may be monitored with consent. You will always have the option to decline or to be blind weighed (where the number is not shared), depending on what feels most supportive for you.
-
There are two cubicles with gendered signs, but you are welcome to use whichever one feels most comfortable for you, regardless of your gender identity.
-
The space is generally low-scent and fragrance-free; however, lightly fragranced essential oil room sprays may occasionally be used. If you are sensitive to smells or experience sensory overwhelm from fragrance, please let us know when you fill out the intake form, and we’ll do our best to keep the space as scent-free as possible.
-
A selection of colouring books and fidget tools are available in the consultation room for anyone who finds them helpful for self-regulating, easing stress, or supporting focus during sessions. You’re also very welcome to bring your own sensory tools or fidgets.
-
If you have a special squishmallow or cuddly companion that helps you feel calm and supported, you’re more than welcome to bring them to your appointment.
If not, Ally the weighted Axolotl and Steeven the Shark are here and ready for cuddles.
-
Unfortunately, the clinic space does not meet the Australian standards for wheelchair accessibility.

Goose Coffee is located on St Kilda Road
Just around the corner on Pakington Street you’ll find The Lounge

Dietitians are both nutritionists and dietitians and are qualified to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy.
The term 'nutritionist' is not regulated or protected, meaning anyone can use it, regardless of their qualifications. This lack of regulation underscores the importance of being cautious about who you seek nutritional advice from.
To become a dietitian, you must have an approved dietetics qualification, complete clinical placement, and undergo accreditation. This ensures that they have the highest level of nutrition education among health professionals.
Dietitians possess the highest level of nutrition education among health professionals. They are the only ones recognised by Medicare to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy.
Dietitians work collaboratively with other health professionals as part of a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best possible health outcomes for their clients and patients. This team-based approach ensures that all aspects of a patient's health are considered, leading to more effective care.
