Clinical Nutrition
Clinical Nutrition uses a holistic approach to healing, taking into consideration the whole person, mind, body and soul. This approach is evidence-informed, meaning research findings and traditional medicine knowledge are combined to inform treatments plans.
Our Clinical Nutritionist Alexandra Osellame recognises that disease is complex and is caused by a combination of factors. As a result, clients are given individualised care in response to their health.
Clinical nutritionists mostly work in primary and secondary healthcare. Primary care is a clients’ first point of contact with the health system, often at the preventative or early stages of health-related issues. Secondary care is generally for acute health-related issues requiring intervention.*
We look at the whole person — mind, body & soul.
