In a world where diet culture and restrictive eating practices are often normalised, trauma-informed nutrition care offers a refreshing alternative. At our practice, our dietitians specialise in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma, neurodivergence, rejection sensitivity, eating disorders, and those with a Persistent Desire for Autonomy (PDA) profile.
Trauma-informed nutrition care recognises that many people's relationships with food, body, and health are deeply influenced by past experiences, particularly traumatic ones. Rather than focusing solely on what you eat, trauma-informed dietitians consider how your life experiences shape your relationship with food.
