About

Hello and welcome to my page!
My name is Kirstin and I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Accredited Nutritionist and work in private practice as the Owner and Consulting Dietitian of CHEW Nutrition and Dietetics in Brisbane, Australia. I completed my Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (First Class Honours) at the Queensland University of Technology and am a member of Dietitians Australia.
I came to dietetics later in life after having some time out to have children and raise my family and was inspired by a desire to help people fit healthy food habits into busy lives. I’m a keen scientist and with a background in pharmacology, I am a passionate advocate of evidence-based practice.
I have assisted clients with a range of nutrition issues including healthy eating, diabetes care, food intolerances, management of gastrointestinal disorders and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. I work with my clients to set realistic health goals, create individualised food plans and provide education and resources to make sustainable change.
No complicated menu plans, fad diets or hard to follow advice here!
