Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD)
 | Erin's a non-diet dietitian passionate about helping people dismantle diet culture and reconnect with their internal body cues to enjoy a peaceful and joyful relationship with food and their bodies. Erin practices with a weight-neutral lens and leans on her knowledge of intuitive eating, counselling skills and dietetic experience to help her clients overcome disorder eating and eating disorders and improve health outcomes of chronic health conditions - with a particular interest in weight-neutral management of type 2 diabetes.

She offers a safe, inclusive, supportive and non-judgmental space to work collaboratively and encourages her clients to have autonomy in their healthcare.

She's also an advocate for Health At Every Size/Size Inclusive Health Australia®, determined to improve access to safe and reliable healthcare for everyone and reduce weight stigma.

EAT LOVE LIVE POLICY
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.
AGE LIMITS FOR ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS:
Please note some practitioners have boundaries on the age of clients they will accept as new referrals.
We request that for all new clients aged 15 years and younger that a pre-assessment questionnaire be completed to assist us in triaging the young person and family.
For all clients aged 15 or younger we request that the initial assessment be with the parents/ carer only.
Eating disorders do not just affect the person but families as a whole.
This is an important part of the assessment process and will help us to get a clear history of the development of the eating disorder and aid in setting up a treatment team and clear treatment goals moving forward.
Family Based Therapy/Treatment (FBT) is the gold standard for supporting children and adolescents with eating disorders. The Eat Love Live team are not trained in FBT or family therapy.
We can be an adjunct to this important treatment process, provide a safe space for discussion around meal planning, information about eating disorders, physical and psychological risks associated with the eating disorder, normal puberty changes to the body, guidelines to adequate amounts of nutrition and help clear many of the myths about food and bodies in our community.
We appreciate that accessing paediatric and adolescent services is difficult and there are long wait lists. As with all clients, we insist that all adolescents are linked in with a multidisciplinary team including a GP and a mental health clinician - be it a psychologist or psychiatrist. And we suggest that clients make the referral to CAMHS/CYMHS and / or private family therapy and be on the waiting list for this support.
Along with the GP or paediatrician we can provide information and support while families are waiting for this important more intensive support.
Parents can speak with their GP or Paediatrician about referrals to these supports.
