A clinical nutritionist is a qualified healthcare professional who offers personalized diet and lifestyle advice, including targeted nutritional supplementation, to support health goals such as weight loss and manage conditions like digestive disorders or chronic illnesses. They use evidence-based approaches in clinical settings to promote overall wellness.

A behavioural nutritionist focuses on helping clients develop healthier eating habits and a balanced relationship with food. By considering emotional, social, physiological, and cultural factors, they guide meaningful dietary choices. They address eating patterns, educate on nutrition principles, and tackle psychological challenges like emotional eating, guilt, unhealthy food behaviors, and body image issues to support both physical and emotional well-being.

Mariana combines expertise as a Clinical Nutritionist with a specialization in behaviour, uniting both disciplines to deliver sustainable, long-lasting results.

Mariana believes that every individual is unique, and nutrition should be personalised to meet each person’s specific needs. She helps women move away from restrictive diets and embrace a balanced, tailored approach to nutrition. Her goal is to empower women to nourish their bodies with the right foods and foster a healthier mindset, focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes instead of quick fixes or temporary solutions.

Absolutely! Mariana specialises in creating personalised nutrition plans tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and goals. Unlike one-size-fits-all diets, her approach combines the expertise of a Clinical Nutritionist and a Behavioural Nutritionist to address both the physiological and emotional factors affecting your eating habits.

Mariana helps clients uncover the root causes of past challenges with weight loss or health goals. Whether it’s improving metabolic health, managing emotional eating patterns, or designing a plan that fits your reality, Mariana provides the guidance and support needed to achieve sustainable results.

Yes, definitely! It’s crucial to work with Mariana (or another nutrition professional) while using medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, or others. This ensures you’re not just achieving immediate weight loss but also building sustainable habits for long-term success. By working with Mariana, you’ll receive personalised guidance focusing on balanced nutrition, emotional eating, and mindset. This holistic approach helps create lasting change and ensures that weight loss is maintained in a healthy, sustainable way—rather than relying solely on medication for short-term results.

Mariana treats a wide range of conditions beyond weight loss, including (but not limited to) digestive issues, emotional eating, perimenopause symptoms, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic conditions such as high cholesterol, glucose, and insulin levels. She provides personalised nutrition support to help manage these conditions by focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes, balanced nutrition, and healthy behaviours.

Yes, I do! My approach to nutrition is personalised and adaptable to both men and women, focusing on sustainable health and wellbeing.

In a consultation with Mariana, you’ll experience a thorough and personalised approach. The initial 90-minute consultation allows us to dive deep into your health history, symptoms, blood test results, and lifestyle. This in-depth assessment helps me understand your unique needs, so we can create a plan that works for you—without relying on fixed diet plans. Together, we’ll explore nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplementation tailored to your goals.

Follow-up consultations, lasting 60 minutes, focus on adjustments, fine-tuning your plan, and taking the next steps. Throughout the process, I empower you to make choices that fit your life, ensuring sustainable, long-term results.

Mariana only offers Telehealth consultations.

The duration of treatment depends on your individual needs and goals. While some clients may see significant progress in a few months, long-term programs are available for those who need ongoing support. The initial phase involves a detailed assessment followed by follow-up sessions to fine-tune your plan and track progress. Together, we’ll make adjustments as needed to ensure sustainable, lasting changes. 

Mariana’s fees vary depending on the type of consultation and services provided.

Although Mariana see many clients through doctor referrals, it is not essential to have a referral in order to see a nutritionist.

Unfortunately Medicare does not cover nutrition consultations at this stage. However, some private health insurers may offer rebates for nutrition services, depending on your plan. See below.

Mariana is registered with major health insurance providers in Australia, but rebates depend on your individual plan. Some insurance companies choose not to cover nutrition consultations delivered via telehealth.

All Mariana’s consultations are delivered via Telehealth. It’s recommended that you contact your health insurer directly to confirm your eligibility for a rebate before booking your consultation.

Some private health insurances may also cover weight loss programs which may be used towards my 6-months program. Please check requirements with your health fund.

Accredited Practising Nutritionists are prohibited from displaying before and after pictures, as they are considered unethical and misleading under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law in Australia.
