Our passion is working with people whose relationship with food has become a difficult one.
Bloom Nutrition & Wellness is a clinic where our dietitians specialise in helping people develop a peaceful relationship with food.
This is not a dietetic practice for fad diets or unsustainable changes that will fizzle out within weeks! Instead, our dietitians love to work at a deeper level, building people's knowledge and self-confidence for making positive dietary and lifestyle changes. Our approach to nutrition is to look at the "bigger picture" surrounding food choices and behaviour, such as:
We provide nutrition advice for a range of general health issues, however topics of special interest are:

Jessica Farrow
Accredited Practicing Dietitian
Masters of Nutrition and Dietetics. Bachelor of Science (Physiology).
Jessica is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian who has completed extensive training in both the dietetic treatment of eating disorders, and of the "non-diet" or "Health At Every Size" (HAES) approach to dietetic practice.
In the years Jessica has worked as a dietitian she has had extensive experience in providing support for people with a wide range of health issues, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and gut issues. However, during that time she realised she has a particular love of helping people heal from a toxic relationship with food, which "standard" dietetic practice does not address very well.
Jessica has a very down-to-earth style of communication, and in-session, she conveys a knowledgeable but relaxed approach to her work that helps put people at ease.
