Hello there,
I’m Michael

Alongside my work at Nutrition for Living, I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian at a Brisbane tertiary hospital, where I work with complex and high-acuity presentations every day. That hospital experience shapes how I practise here too: nothing about food, body, or health is ever as simple as it looks on the surface, and I bring that same level of care to every client I see.

My clinical focus is on eating disorders and disordered eating, disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), and the complex presentations where food, body, and identity intersect. I’m trauma-informed in everything I do, and I take that seriously, not as a buzzword, but as a genuine commitment to making sure every client feels safe before we talk about anything else.

I’m also a proud LGBTQIA+ advocate and an affirming practitioner for queer and gender-diverse clients. Inclusive, judgement-free care isn’t an add-on for me, it’s the baseline. I want every person who sits across from me to feel like they can be honest about what’s actually going on, without fear of being judged for their body, their symptoms, or their relationship with food.

I’m low-FODMAP trained and see a good number of clients for gut health and chronic disease prevention, so if IBS, bloating, or ongoing digestive symptoms are part of the picture, that’s very much within my wheelhouse too. Whatever brings you in, my approach is the same: evidence-based, collaborative, and centred around you as a whole person not just a diagnosis.

I work closely with Annabel and Grace here at Nutrition for Living, and with GPs and specialists more broadly, because the best outcomes happen when your care team is actually talking to each other rather than working in isolation. If you’ve seen a few clinicians already and feel like no one’s quite joined the dots, a collaborative approach is exactly what I bring to the table.

I’m available for dietitian consults via Telehealth on Monday evenings, from 5:30 to 7:30pm, which I know can make a real difference if you’re juggling work or other commitments during the day. If any of this sounds like what you need, I’d love to help.
