The Eat Love Live practitioner will spend the initial session getting to know you. This will involve some questions from us and some from you.  We intend to build a safe space for people to share their experiences with food, activity and their bodies. We recognise how difficult this can be and that these experiences have shaped the relationship you have with food and body today.

Ou practitioners recognise the role that social relationships, mental health, chronic disease and trauma have on our ability to care for ourselves. If it is not in the practitioners scope of practice to treat this they have adequate skills to discuss these in a safe way; refer you to appropriate mental health practitioners and work alongside them.  

We aim to clarify what you want out of the relationship with an Eat Love Live practitioner by your expectations and goals.

The Eat Love Live practitioner may ask questions about your medical history, physical and psychological symptoms and concerns; Information about past dieting, current eating patterns and activity levels. This will help determine a course of action for us to take together including topics you may want more information about, and planning for health behaviour changes in the direction of your individual goals.   

The Eat Love Live practitioner can provides accurate, easy to understand information about nutrition helping to differentiate fact from fiction.  

If change was as simple as attaining knowledge there would be no role for your team! 

Our skills lie in helping you to:

• Explore and understand your relationship with food, health and your body.
• Arming you with the tools to be able to evaluate the plethora of health information bombarding you daily.
• Assisting you in understanding your barriers to change and overcoming these.
• Ongoing motivating and collaborative support during the journey of change.

It is hard to know how many sessions is optimal for each person and this is something we can discuss further during assessment.

Our team can provide information and support to individual's family, friends or loved ones at their request; so that the person feels supported in between sessions.

Please contact the Eat Love Live team members to discuss your needs and ensure that you feel you have a good connection with them. An initial assessment session is a great opportunity for you to assess if you feel you will be able to have beneficial relationship with us. If you feel that we are not a good fit we can help link you in with like minded practitioners.

Having the right health professional to support you is very important. 

Health professionals are a bit like shoes- if the fit isn't right- you won't use them!

We require that all clients be linked in with regular medical support to ensure their ongoing medical safety.

We require clients to be engaged with or planning to engage with psychological support to ensure that we are providing safe, ethical and evidence based support.
