Menopause Consultations
Hi! My name is Kirstin Wise
I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian and the founder of CHEW Nutrition and Dietetics — a women’s health practice specialising in fertility, pregnancy and menopause.
My path to dietetics wasn’t a straight line. After starting out with a science degree, life took me in a very different direction for a long time. It wasn’t until I stepped back to be home with my young children that I finally had the space to ask myself what I actually wanted to do — and the answer was to go back to science. I completed my Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics with First Class Honours while my kids were still small and I’ve never looked back.
I started CHEW because I saw a real gap in the support available to women navigating the major nutritional transitions of their lives. I’ve lived through all three of the stages I specialise in and I know firsthand that the right information at the right time makes an enormous difference.
My approach is evidence-based, personalised and genuinely collaborative. No restrictive meal plans. No diet trends. No advice that ignores how you actually live. Just a clear, science-backed path forward, built around you.
