I'm a non diet dietitian and nutritionist and I support people to heal their relationship with food and their body. I practice Health At Every Size(R) and I believe that all bodies deserve respectful, individualised healthcare. I offer face-to-face sessions at my practice location in Fremantle WA as well as telehealth sessions, so you can choose the option that works best for you.
I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and work, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. I pay my respects to their past, present and emerging elders. This land always was and always will be Aboriginal land. I work with adolescents and adults who've become disconnected from their body's natural, intuitive way of eating, which includes people with disordered eating or an eating disorder.

I'm Claire, the creator of Diet-Free Me. I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian from Perth, Western Australia and I'm a mum to two cheeky and snuggly little kiddos. For most of my late teens and early 20s, I was unhappy with my weight. While I never followed any of the popular diets, I definitely had a diet mindset and this lead to some unhealthy eating and exercise behaviours.
Health at Every Size (R) (incorporating non-diet nutrition) is an evidence-based approach that offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional way of thinking about health. Research tells us that a person's weight isn't actually a good indicator of their current or future health. There's an association between weight and health, but it's not as 'black and white' as we used to think.
Having an eating disorder is more than being unhappy with your weight or constantly dieting. Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions which can affect people of any age, gender and cultural background. Even more importantly, eating disorders can effect people in a range of body types and sizes - not just thin people.
All of these questions focus on what someone needs to do, but they miss an important detail: weight isn't a behaviour. Weight may be influenced by behaviours, but it's also largely influenced by things outside our control eg. Because I know that losing weight doesn't work long-term, I take a different approach.
Your body is constantly communicating with you to tell you what it needs. When you're cold, you'll shiver or get little goosebumps, and this signals to you that you need to dress warmer. When you need to go to the toilet, you'll notice a full feeling in your bladder. When you're thirsty, your mouth and throat will feel dry and you respond by drinking a glass of water.

Best thing ever! I've never found anything like this before, everything in the guide is so true. I always end up being motivated and restricting my diet in a span of months then giving up but when I found Claire, she changed my life. I'm currently in the process of applying the whole thing into my life and all I can say is that I'm happy and I'm not suffering and limiting myself too much. :) Thank you Claire! You are the best x

I found Claire after receiving a personal recommendation for her approach at the 'non diet' way of life. It has been such a wonderful experience learning from her and taking some control back with my eating habits. Since speaking with her and reading her DIY Non diet approach package and being a part of her FB support group I am beginning to feel so much more at peace with food and my body. Claire has taught me to be kinder to myself and to cut myself some slack especially during times of my life when things feel a little out of control. Highly recommend Claire, she is so very easy to talk to.

Claire is a gentle, nurturing nutritionist and dietician who has written an amazing guide that essentially teaches us how to shed the diet BS that we spend decades following, and instead re-learn how to connect, listen and love our bodies. I’d recommend this guide to anyone keen to embrace their own body positivity
