My business name, Full Circle Dietetics, reflects both my journey and my approach to support my clients as their dietitian.

Dietetics was my first degree and profession was a profession that allowed me to work and travel after University. After an initial year working in Private Practise in the Wheatbelt I went to the UK where I had the opportunity to work across a number of NHS teaching hospitals and specialities. It was also my introduction to management – leading teams through the NHS Change agenda and managing a Dietitian Department.

When I returned to Perth I was able to apply these learnings in the Government and Not-for-Profit sector before I took a side step to use my change skills in the corporate world.

In 2020, my desire to reconnect to a caring profession and provide support the many kids, mums and dad I met in therapy wait rooms led to my re-entry to Dietetics. Since 2021 I have had the privilege of utilising all my skills and expertise to support clients in meeting their nutrition needs in a way that works for them.
