WHAT IS DIETETICS
Dietetics is a science that delves into the complex relationship between food, nutrition, and health.
At Self Reflections, our dietetics service is more than just meal planning or weight management; its a holistic approach to understanding how the foods you eat impact your physical and mental wellbeing.
Our Accredited Practising Dietitians work with you to create personalised nutrition strategies that cater to your unique needs, preferences, and lifestyle, ensuring a balanced and sustainable approach to eating and health.
WHO IS IT FOR
Our focus is to empower you with knowledge and practical skills to make informed food choices. We understand that each individuals relationship with food is unique, and our dietitians are skilled in addressing a wide range of nutritional needs. Whether its managing medical conditions through intake, improving overall health and wellbeing, or navigating the complexities of eating disorders, our goal is to support you in achieving a healthier, more balanced life.

Our dietetics service is for anyone seeking to improve their health through nutrition. This includes individuals struggling with eating disorders, those with specific dietary needs due to medical conditions, and anyone looking to enhance their overall well-being through better eating habits. Our dietitians are here to guide you, whether you're dealing with weight concerns, digestive issues, or just want to feel more energetic and healthy.
While our dietetics services are comprehensive, they may not be suitable for individuals looking for quick-fix diets or those not ready to embrace a holistic approach to nutrition. Our services are not a one-size-fits-all solution; they require a commitment to understanding and applying the principles of mindful eating in everyday life. If you're not prepared to actively participate in your nutritional journey, our dietetics service might not align with your current needs.
