With a double degree in Dietitics and Human Movements, I have been working in the health and fitness industry for over 16 years, both as a personal trainer and a nutritionist for sports teams such as State League netball and soccer teams. Working as a personal trainer and boxing coach I have developed a keen interest in hydration and recovery techniques. I’ve also had a lot of experience working with clients in setting and achieving goals, developing healthy eating plans, and working towards creating a healthy lifestyle with my clients.
A strong focus of my clinical work has been to develop and implement weight loss and pre-natal programs that have focused on both nutrition and exercise components.

In particular working with athletes to maximise training adaptations and recovery strategies, hydration testing and education, body composition testing, general healthy eating, and fuelling for events/races.
As a mother myself, I understand the anxieties many parents face around providing correct nutrition for their children. As infants grow and develop, it is important that they receive all the nutrients they need to ensure optimum health and a good foundation for future years as growth accelerates.
Being a parent, I also recognise the difficulties we all face with juggling the demands of everyday life. I work closely with all my patients to assist in developing realistic goals and achievable strategies. Through education and guidance, I encourage a whole-family approach to healthy eating that can meet everyone’s needs.

Beatrice's philosophy is that a healthy body and a healthy mind come from nourishing yourself rather than depriving yourself. You can't punish yourself healthy, the opposite is true.
Whatever your goals are in terms of your health- weight loss, happiness, increased energy, healthier meals, doing regular exercise, managing the stress in your life, decreasing toxins in your home and beauty products or reducing your risk of chronic diseases- the changes you need to make start by valuing yourself and nourishing yourself.
As a parent you need to care for yourself so that you can care for those who depend on you. As a mother of two Beatrice understands that when you are feeling well and are looking after yourself, your whole family benefits.
Beatrice is also the co-founder and presenter of Healthtalks with Dr Maria Boulton and she works closely with GPs, medical specialists, allied health and holistic health professionals.
