Weight Loss Clinic Melbourne

I am a proud Mum of three boys, Grandma of six & wife of 45 years, who became a Nurse Practitioner 13 years ago. In my nursing career I have worked across a variety of areas, including hospital, community, Aged Care & Primary Care. I have battled with weight issues my whole life, so understand the emotional & physical struggles that go with the cycles of weight loss & weight gain, but have found the most successful & easiest weight management ever & have dropped from a size 22 to a size 12 clothing. I have always tried to look for the positives in life & get great joy from seeing others succeed. My goal in bringing people on a successful & sustainable weight loss journey is to provide a supportive plan that gives them hope & helps them to become the healthiest version of themselves that they can be.
