Her commitment to clear, realistic advice ensures her clients feel confident making lasting changes, whether that’s improving energy, managing medical conditions, or navigating the challenges of family nutrition.

Kristen is well known for her down-to-earth style, her skill in translating science into real life strategies, and her unwavering belief that food should be both nourishing and enjoyable. She works collaboratively with GPs, surgeons, allied health professionals, and the broader Peninsula community to provide holistic, client-centred care.

When she’s not in the clinic, Kristen enjoys testing new recipes and spending time outdoors with her family. She has a love for strength training and endurance sports, and has completed numerous marathons and Ironman triathlons.
