Kirby (she/her) is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD) and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician (CEDC) who approaches her practice with curiousity and compassion.

Kirby works with children, adolescents and adults of all eating disorder presentations. Kirby’s practice is informed by her clinical and lived experience, supporting her clients with both evidence-based frameworks and empathy. Sessions with Kirby often include both support with eating behaviours and dietetic counselling, helping clients develop a more peaceful relationship with food and body.

Kirby is a proud Health at Every Size (HAES) clinician who firmly believes in inclusivity. She is particularly passionate about providing affirming care to marginalised groups, including larger bodied, LGBTQIA+, disabled and neurodiverse clients.

Kirby also has experience working with dancers and other athletes. Kirby previously lectured sports nutrition at the Australian College of Physical Education, and is an advocate for body respect and inclusivity in sport.

Kirby is also an eager learner, regularly participating in professional development and supervision to strengthen her practice.

Outside of the office, you can find Kirby playing sport and chasing her two cats.
