Christie utilises multiple approaches in her practice including elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, feminist and social oppression theories through a trauma-informed and size-inclusive (HAES) lens. In her clinical and research work she works to privilege lived experience, appreciating that you are the expert of your body and mind. Christie holds a PhD and a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics with Honours from Monash University. Her PhD project was focused on investigating factors that may influence glucose tolerance during pregnancy, with a particular focus on sleep. She currently works at Monash University as a Lecturer and Research Fellow.

Outside of work, she is a mum, cheese lover, yogi, reader and wine drinker. She likes when she can be in and around water; beach, pool, river, lake or bathtub she isn't picky as long as it is wet, and she can get in it. Publications:
