About
Hello, I’m Sheree - and I'm an Accredited Practising Dietician. I work with Children, Young People and Families.
I call myself a Coffs local now, having lived here for over 10 years. I am grateful to live with my wonderful partner, raise our four children and work on beautiful Gumbaynggirr Country. I was born and raised in Sydney, where my family still reside.
In 2008, I was fortunate to complete placement at Children’s Hospital Westmead, Sydney and it was in this moment that my passion of becoming a Paediatric Dietitian was ignited. I then relocated to Brisbane, pursuing my passion and chasing my dreams by starting my Master of Dietetics degree. Upon completion, I launched my career in Coffs Harbour and fell in love with the place!
Education
Master of Dietetics Studies, UQ
Bachelor of Science (Food & Nutrition), University Western Sydney
Certificate III Business Administration
Member of Dietitians Australia, Accredited Practising Dietitian
Special Interests
I have a passion supporting families to make feeding times enjoyable. I am particularly interested in paediatric feeding from infancy to adolescence.
Specifically, I can help with:
Food allergies/intolerances.
Sensory processing differences and feeding (including Autism, ADHD)
ARFID
Growth
Nutritional deficiencies
Constipation
Tube feeding
Genetic conditions that impact feeding
Style
I have a highly empathetic style which helps to foster a sense of understanding and connection with my clients and their families. I am neuro-affirming and inclusive in my approach.
Modality & Approach
Aside from my expertise in dietetics, I have use motivational interviewing techniques and nutrition counselling in my sessions. Formulating goals with my clients, rather than for them, is paramount so that you can feel heard and your goals are achievable. I also integrate the Responsive Feeding Approach, to empower families and foster independence in children.
