My Story

Hi, I’m Tiana

Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist

Before becoming a dietitian (and even during my years at uni), I struggled with finding balance in the way I ate. For a long time, I thought being “healthy” meant being strict, cutting out food groups, and following rigid diets. At one point, I was eating a vegan diet and constantly restricting myself, but instead of feeling good, I often felt tired, sluggish, and frustrated. I couldn’t understand why I was gaining weight or why my energy wasn’t matching the effort I was putting in.

Over time, I learned that true health isn’t about restriction — it’s about balance. When I started nourishing my body in a way that supported my energy, hormones, and lifestyle (while still enjoying meals out with family and friends), everything shifted. I felt lighter, freer, and so much more myself.

Now, this is the heart of my work as a dietitian. I help women — especially busy mums — find that same balance. I know how important it is to keep blood sugar levels steady throughout the day so you can feel energised, focused, and present with your family. Because when your nutrition supports your hormones and gut health, you don’t just feel better physically — your mood, energy, and overall well-being improve too.

As a mum myself, I understand the challenges of juggling it all while trying to look after your health. That’s why my approach is flexible, practical, and never restrictive. Together, we can create a way of eating that works for your lifestyle — one that feels nourishing, sustainable, and freeing.

If you’re tired of feeling low in energy, frustrated with your weight, or stuck in cycles of restriction, I’d love to support you in finding a healthier, more balanced way forward. 

Let’s work together!
