Felicity Palma
Felicity Palma is a dedicated dietitian with experience supporting individuals in both high-performance sport and community settings. She is currently part of Melbourne Victory’s dietetics team, providing practical, evidence-based nutrition support to the A-League Women’s and NPL/W teams.
Alongside her work in sport, Felicity supports clients across general nutrition, with a particular interest in eating disorder and disordered eating management. She is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment, recognising that each individual’s relationship with food is influenced by unique physical, psychological, and environmental factors. Her client-centred approach focuses on clear, achievable guidance that fosters lasting behaviour change.
Drawing on her background as a trained classical ballet dancer, Felicity understands the demands placed on performing arts professionals at both elite and recreational levels. This experience shapes her approach, helping her appreciate the challenges individuals face around performance, body image, and nutrition. It also motivates her to support clients in navigating these challenges while promoting holistic health and well-being.
What to expect
There is no need to bring in food records or complete lengthy paperwork. Felicity 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 Tilly and may continue at the 50 minute duration, or may be shortened to 25 minutes.
Tilly is an accredited dietician, allowing you to access Medicare and Private Health rebates.
