Meet Annaleise
There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from managing something alone for too long. Most of my clients know it well.
I’m a dietitian specialising in eating disorders, disordered eating, and gut health. Often the people I work with have done everything they can on their own, and something still isn’t shifting. That’s not a failure of effort. It usually means what they’ve been dealing with needed more specific attention than they’ve been able to get.
That’s the work I do.
I trained in Australia and spent seven years as a clinical dietitian in Sydney hospitals, across gastroenterology and mental health, before founding my own practice. I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian and hold the ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder Dietitian designation, the specialist credential for eating disorder clinicians in Australia and New Zealand. I now work with clients online from Dubai.
When you’re ready, I’m here
My Approach
Most people don’t arrive short of information. The problem is that the information they’ve found was never designed for their situation.
I’m a specialist, which means I work with a narrow set of presentations, and I work with them deeply. I take the time to understand your history first, because that’s what makes the advice useful: what’s happening in your body, what’s happened before, and what it costs you day to day. All of it matters.
My approach is weight-neutral and focuses on what to add rather than what to take away. If you’re already working with a therapist or doctor, I’ll work alongside them.
What you’ll get from working with me is honest, specific clinical thinking. Not a programme, not a set of rules, but a considered response to what’s actually going on for you.
