What our clients say:

‘Ingrid was the first clinician that I have seen that was able to finally explain what was happening to me with clarity, consideration and empathy. After only one session I finally felt heard and that my symptoms weren’t just in my head, there was indeed a real biological cause. For the last two years every other health practitioner has disregarded this. She was able to guide me in to making changes that were going to help minimize my hormonal fluctuations. I feel more energized, happier and more comfortable in my body than I ever have. I only wish I had engaged with Ingrid earlier.’

‘Navigating Anorexia Nervosa is a battle that can’t be done alone. It takes a team of support to make you believe that recovery is possible. Ingrid has been instrumental in my recovery over the last few years, displaying kindness, compassion, empathy and dedication. Not once has Ingrid ‘given up on me’, when I had no hope myself. During our appointments Ingrid continues to guide me in the right direction pushing me to challenge my eating disorder cognitions and to live my life in line with my values. I can wholeheartedly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today, achieving my goals in life and recovery without her.’

What to expect

There is no need to bring in food records or complete lengthy paperwork. Ingrid will spend time with you in the initial session to get to know your goals for work, and your story around food and your body. You can expect a compassionate approach where she will gently explore your concerns with you and make sure the session is tailored to you or your child as an individual.

Initial sessions are 50 minutes in length, to allow a full assessment. Follow Up sessions are set at a frequency determined together with Ingrid and may continue at the 50 minute duration, or may be shortened to 25 minutes.

Ingrid is an accredited dietician, allowing you to access Medicare and Private Health rebates.
