Accredited Practising Dietitian

About Maddie

Maddie is a non-diet Dietitian, Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician and clinical supervisor who is passionate about helping people rebuild trust in food and feel more at peace in their bodies. She is dedicated to creating a space where clients feel heard, supported and understood.

After graduating from Griffith University 10 years ago, Maddie has spent the past six years specialising in eating disorders across both public and private services, supporting people of all ages. She practices from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and is committed to providing compassionate, inclusive and evidence-based care tailored to each individual.

Maddie is a certified therapist in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) and Maudsley Family-Based Therapy (FBT), and has also completed training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM). Her approach is collaborative, practical and grounded in current research, while always honouring each person’s lived experience.

In addition to her clinical work, Maddie has completed clinical supervision training through DSRA and enjoys supporting early- to mid-career dietitians to refine their skills, build confidence and develop their own authentic professional style.

Outside of work, Maddie loves spending time at the beach, hiking in nature, catching up with friends for a jog and coffee, and travelling.

Areas of Expertise

  • Maddie provides specialised, evidence-based dietetic support for individuals experiencing eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder) and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).

    She works collaboratively with clients and their broader care team to support nutritional rehabilitation, establish regular and adequate eating patterns, and gently challenge unhelpful food rules, always at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

  • Maddie supports individuals experiencing disordered eating patterns, including chronic dieting, yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, binge or over-eating, and feeling out of control around food.

    If thoughts about food, eating, or your body feel overwhelming or are taking up too much mental space, you may be experiencing disordered eating. You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.

    Together, you will work toward building a more peaceful, flexible and trusting relationship with food and your body.

  • Digestive discomfort and a challenging relationship with food often co-exist due to the strong connection between the gut and the brain.

    Maddie provides individualised, safe and practical nutrition support for a range of gastrointestinal conditions and symptoms. Her approach aims to reduce digestive distress while protecting adequate nutrition and maintaining a positive, sustainable relationship with food, avoiding unnecessarily restrictive or fear-based approaches wherever possible.

  • As a HAES® aligned dietitian, Maddie provides weight-neutral, evidence-based nutrition care that focuses on improving health behaviours, body respect and long-term wellbeing, rather than intentional weight loss as the primary measure of health.

    She supports individuals living with conditions such as PCOS, diabetes, high cholesterol, and early signs of chronic illness, as well as those wanting to improve their overall health through sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes.

    Care is tailored to your individual needs, values and goals, with an emphasis on flexibility, autonomy and realistic strategies.

FAQ’s

    For individuals diagnosed with an eating disorder, an Eating Disorder Plan (EDP) provides access to up to 20 Medicare-subsidised dietetic sessions within a 12-month period.

    An EDP must be prepared by a qualified medical practitioner, such as a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician.

    Chronic Disease Management Care Plan (CDMP):
    Also known as a Chronic Disease Management Plan or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan, this care plan provides access to up to five Medicare-subsidised allied health sessions per calendar year for individuals with eligible chronic health conditions.

    Dietetic services must be recommended as part of the care plan, and the number of sessions allocated is determined by the GP.
