Liana (she/her) is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician (CEDC) and is passionate about helping people form healthy relationships with food. Using a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, Liana is dedicated to working with people experiencing body image concerns, disordered eating, and clinical eating disorders to help them find food freedom. Liana strives to provide neuroaffirming care and an inclusive space for all clients within the LGBTQ+ community.
Liana believes that the role of food in our overall wellbeing extends beyond the impact of nutrition, it allows us to connect to our culture, form social relationships, and to nourish ourselves emotionally. She strongly believes that everyone deserves this relationship with food and works to help people bring a sense of joy and pleasure back to eating.
Liana supports both individuals and families throughout treatment and is trained in the evidenced-based Maudsley Family Based Therapy model to support adolescents and their families through treatment and recovery of eating disorders.
Liana also has a passion supporting those who experience Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and has undergone additional training in this area including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for ARFID which she combines with her nutrition knowledge to offer a wholistic approach that helps clients develop confidence and flexibility with food choices.
Outside of work Liana typically enjoys dancing which she has done for many years, or you will find her at the theatre enjoying any number of shows.
Liana is accessible at both our Broadmeadow and Tuggerah clinics, and available for telehealth consults online.
