Personalised nutrition and body composition expertise for life after 40.
Welcome
Hi, I'm Nicky. I am an ex-corporate with tax and law degrees (!?) who made a career change to nutrition 15 years ago. I am now a registered nutritionist working in Sydney CBD, Rose Bay and online.
I specialise in helping men and women over 40 optimise their health and make informed nutrition choices for a stronger, healthier future.
I understand that midlife brings changes to how the body works, metabolism, hormones and nutritional needs. My approach is to understand what's happening, identify what your body needs and help you to make practical changes that fit your lifestyle.
I do not offer fad diets and my advice is personalised to each individual so that you can feel healthier, stronger and more confident.
Please book 15 minutes with me if you would like to discuss how I might be able to help you.

Areas where I can help you.
A smarter approach to health.
Health is not just about the scales. Weight is one very small part of the bigger picture and it is my belief that it is a distraction from true health.
Working with me, you will benefit from:
-
DEXA body composition insights: understand your health, by learning your muscle mass, body fat distribution and bone density
- Blood test insights: review your most recent GP blood tests to assess your metabolic health
-
Expertise & research: my advice is informed by my lawyer-trained brain, a thirst for understanding the science, years of experience, and your individual circumstances
-
Personalised advice: no two people are the same, so no two nutrition plans should be the same either. Advice is based on your metabolic health, goals, lifestyle and nutritional needs
-
Realistic and sustainable change: fad diets and complex supplement regimes are not sustainable. Building healthy daily habits is the foundation of lasting diet and lifestyle change and there is a scientific approach to approaching this.
Insights from DEXA body composition scans.
True health is not defined by weight alone. It is reflected in body composition, metabolic health, muscle preservation and long-term disease risk.
Working with me we will build insights on your health using blood tests and DEXA body composition scans.
A DEXA scan will tell you what is happening beneath the scales. It will provide valuable insight into your body composition, including muscle mass, fat distribution and bone density. This provides objective data on which areas to focus on and will help us to monitor change over time.
We may use other tests such as continuous glucose monitors or CGMs. We will decide this depending on your progress, your circumstances, what motivates you, and your goals.
Are you ready to make real and lasting change?
10-weeks to better health
Look good. Feel good.
10-week diet & lifestyle program
What is it?
A simple but effective 10-week program designed where you follow 10 rules for 10 weeks to kickstart changes that become habits for life.
Who is it for?
For anyone who wants a to get their health back on track. It is ideal for people who already eat well, but would like to lose a few extra kilos or be held accountable to make change.
What is included?
-
A 30-minute private online session to get started
-
A 60-90 minute face-to-face or online private nutrition session to decide your personalised 10 rules
-
Nutrition education and resources
-
Daily tracking system
-
Weekly accountability through tracker submissions
-
Weekly accountability check-ins
-
Final 45 minute closing session to analyse results
How it works?
You are held accountable to the 10 rules that you agree at the start. Over time the changes become habits. On average it takes 66 times of doing something before it becomes a habit; this 70-day program ensures your new lifestyle sticks.
What makes it different?
This is not a fad diet and the rules say that you should never be hungry! This is about simple and sensible diet changes, and accountability. You should come away from the program with new habits that you will have with you for the rest of your life.

Practical information for working with me.
-
Client consultations are held in Sydney CBD (near Circular Quay), Rose Bay or online. Ideally, if possible, the first session should be in person. After this sessions may be online or by phone depending on your needs. My preference is face to face sessions because, in my experience, these are more effective.
-
Consultations are 60 minutes.
-
If you are in Sydney I will typically recommend for you to do your DEXA scan at MeasureUp in Pitt St in Sydney CBD. There are plenty of alternatively scanning locations around Australia and I can help you to find one near you.
-
Before your first session I will send two online forms to complete: one is a health questionnaire and one is Terms and Conditions.
-
Please email me your most recent GP blood tests - these are hugely helpful to get a baseline understanding of your metabolic health.
-
Payment is usually made after your consultation, by bank transfer or online payment (via Stripe).
-
Please feel free to ask me questions between sessions using the Chat function in my online Practice Better booking system.
-
I understand that last minute rescheduling and cancelling is sometimes inevitable, however I ask that you please let me know with as much advance notice as possible.
