Hi, My name is Dooa, an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (University of Sydney), Nutritionist, food lover and recipe developer.

I firmly believe that food is not just a source of nutrients and energy but also holds cultural, social, and emotional significance for individuals and societies. I am aware that different cultures have distinct culinary traditions and practices that are deeply ingrained in their way of life.  Overall, food is a complex and multifaceted aspect of our lives, impacting our physical health, mental well-being, and cultural identity.

My passion lies in witnessing my patients succeed and feel the best version of themselves.  I accomplish this by delving into their dietary and lifestyle choices, identifying areas for improvement, and fostering a sense of empowerment. I facilitate this through personalized meal and lifestyle plans, enabling patients to set practical and sustainable goals that align with their individual preferences and routines.

I embrace a “health at every size” approach to nutrition. This signifies that my focus is perpetually on enhancing overall well-being. I equip individuals with the necessary tools and help them cultivate habits that support health, without fixating on weight or weight loss.

Let me guide you towards a healthier, revitalised version of yourself!

Some areas that I can help with:

Diabetes, Heart health nutrition, weight management and slow metabolism, Gut issues, pregnancy nutrition, healthy eating principles, heart health nutrition, Autoimmune diseases, malnutrition.
