Fiona discovered that nutritional medicine and natural therapies was the key to good health after several years of serious health problems where she was diagnosed with two auto immune diseases and had small strokes that resulted in brain damage including partial blindness. It didn’t take long to discover that everything that she had been taught about nutrition was wrong!
Not knowing what to believe, Fiona studied nutritional medicine to learn how to heal herself; realising that knowledge is power and you can’t believe everything you are taught about nutrition by people who are sponsored by food companies!
Very proud to call herself Nutritional Medicine Practitioner; she has her own unique style with clients naturally moving between nutrition, counselling and coaching as required.
Having experienced significant health issues and weight issues in the past, Fiona relates to the shame, fear and humiliation that people having health or weight challenges may be feeling. Knowledgeable on the science of hormones, hunger etc along with an excellent understanding of emotional eating and negative self talk and the powerful language we use about food and how all of these things combined can effect your results and ability to succeed in your health goals.
Along with her professional speaking career and media work Fiona is also available for individual consultations via Telehealth video consultation or at our Kurmond clinic, you can book here.
Fiona is also proud to be a That Sugar Movement Ambassador. That Sugar Movement Ambassadors are passionate individuals who recognise the impact of diet on health and care deeply about sharing the key messages of That Sugar Film (now That Sugar Movement) far and wide around Australia and New Zealand.

Informed Health was a natural choice when it came to a name for this business. As Maya Angelou always said “do the best you can until you know better, then when you know better, do better”.
Our goal is not only to teach you a different way of eating, (getting back to real food) but also a different way of thinking about food, your body and mind. Cultures who are exceptionally healthy, well into their old age; not only eat well, they are also part of a community, they connect with each other slowly preparing healthy fresh food and eating it whilst chatting and laughing together. Movement is part of their daily life, and they live a very low stress life.
At Informed Health, we want you to learn about healthy food, create healthy habits, re-connect with yourself, your partner, family and friends. You will learn to listen to your body, nurture yourself, learn to manage your energy and stress. Nutrition, sleep and movement are foundations to good health, this is important along with so much more to regain or maintain your health. It’s your turn!
