Bariatric Nutrition and Lifestyle Services
About to have surgery? Just had? Or struggling with Post-Op Regain??
Well I am glad you've come to visit... There's some things you might need to know.
Its about understanding not only the physiological impacts of surgery, but also the psychological and social impacts of such extensive surgical procedures.
After bariatric surgery our needs are different. Our physiology has been altered and with that, we face the risk of malabsorption and vitamin deficiency, inadequate energy, fatigue, hair loss, loss of skin elasticity, onset or exacerbation of mental health issues, exacerbation of certain medical conditions when an improper diet is adopted etc.
Having the proper foundation of nutrition education together with effective emotional, behavioural and psychological tools will be key to your long term health

Whether you've already had weight loss surgery or are simply thinking about it, Biome Integrative Nutrition can help you get your mind and health on track for success, for the LONG TERM by tackling those unhelpful resurfacing food behaviours and creating a new mindset around food that removes the black & white "GOOD vs BAD" food relationship.
I want you to feel like the vibrant human you are meant to be!
I understand that its not all about diet, but also the emotional, physical and life built habitual factors that play a role, and I approach these with true care and understanding.
I promote balance (or all things) and this extends to your diet which incorporates YOUR tastes and considers YOUR health conditions to promote the best possible outcomes in both your weight loss but also your well being by appreciating your own unique journey and newly developing goals.
I will help you break tough stalls and plateaus with uniquely developed "pouch reset" techniques customised for you, and get you back on track with the education, understanding and resources to tackle any future road bumps along the way.
After WLS surgery, it HAS to be about QUALITY as it can NO LONGER be about QUANTITY.

I've been where you are....
I've been there..
I was there...
The Body Shame, the self-loathing, the self-hate, overweight, unhappy, being told that Bariatric Surgery is the easy way out...
I was there...
My body in pain and no-one could tell me why, tests, tests always a number, never important, never taken seriously, and thinking your "easy way out" is my "last resort to try and fix this"...
I was there...
When you weren't looking, eating away my shame, pain, heartbreak, loneliness, anxiety, depression, fear, experience, reflection and self.
I was there...
When everything seemed unfair, that I always had to fight, that I always had to compromise, that I always had to give. Always feeling like I could NEVER compete, no body sees what you can do, they only see what you look like..
I was there..
No-one would ever love me the way I needed to be loved. No-one would see past this ugliness that I wore day in and day out..
I was there...
When I realised that even after the weight had come off, all of those things stayed with me.. the shame, the guilt, the food...
I was there, just like you've been there, just like you are there now.. I've been there...
I was there, until I realised something so powerful... It was NEVER about my body... It was always about ME.
I was stuck in that broken record for so long until I realised that i had to break this cycle, to rewrite that program.
The day I knew I was no longer there, is when I stood in front of the mirror and saw myself truly for the first time, battle scars, wounds, skin looser than it used to be, tuck-shop lady arms... and I smiled and thought to myself.. I'm Fucking fabulous!
The day I realised, that people see WHO you are not WHAT...
Now everyday, I dedicate myself to helping YOU see how truly fabulous you are, break those old patterns, chuck that old nasty record in the bin...
