Eat For Life Dietetics
What is a Dietitian?
The world of food, nutrition and health can be incredibly confusing. There is so much information made readily available online and through social media and unfortunately it is not always easy to know which advice is “good” advice when it all seems to come from so called and often self-proclaimed experts in these fields.
Accredited Practising Dietitians are also qualified nutritionists and are recognised as experts in food and nutrition and the role they play within our body. Dietitians are trained in science, nutrition, health and medical nutrition therapy. This means Dietitians can support clients to reach their health and nutrition goals whether there is a disease involved or not. Dietitians are specialised in behaviour change and should offer an un-biased, science based and client centric approach.

Hi! I am Mikaela and I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian & Nutritionist and the Founder of Eat for Life Dietetics, based in Brisbane, Queensland. I became a dietitian for two reasons, firstly that I am passionate about health and the role that food plays in it and secondly because I love food! I believe that food can and should be both enjoyable and nourishing.
I have worked for the past eight years as a Dietitian & Nutritionist in private practice across North Brisbane. My journey in private practice started with taking on a broad range of clients with varying nutrition and health needs. I very quickly found that I gravitated towards working with people living with a disability and people struggling with mental health disorders and have particularly enjoyed working within the area of women’s health.
I enjoy exploring each client’s unique relationship with food and health and love it when I can support a client to achieve their goals. I believe that I work so successfully with these clients because of my compassionate and caring nature and my ability to listen without judgment to what each client has to say and to be adaptive in my approach.

I enjoy exploring each client’s unique relationship with food and health and love it when I can support a client to achieve their individual goals. I believe that I work so successfully with these clients because of my compassionate and caring nature and my ability to really listen without judgment to what each client has to say and to be adaptive in my approach.
I eventually decided to branch out on my own and created Eat for Life Dietetics to allow me to practice as a Dietitian and Nutritionist on my own terms and in my own way and in doing so, I hope to support many more people to achieve their nutrition and health goals.

She is now providing these services to the Brisbane region after moving to enjoy the sunny coast
Marley is passionate about supporting people to create healthy relationships with food and eating, and empowering clients to adopt positive approaches to food and movement that supports their physical, mental and social well-being.

Marley is a credentialed eating disorder dietitian and supports clients with presentations including disordered eating patterns, Binge Eating Disorder, Orthorexia and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.
Marley has her own lived experience with coeliac disease and irritable bowel syndrome so she knows how it can be to live with an irritable gut! Marley is a FODMAP-trained dietitian through Monash University and provides support for gastrointestinal issues including irritable bowels syndrome.
Marley also supports children from ages 4 years + with feeding and eating challenges including fussy eating, sensory processing challenges and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. Helping clients and their families navigate these challenges in a way that will support parent-child relationships, and positively impact long-term health and well-being is what Marley is all about.
Marley puts nutrition advice into practical and realistic steps for clients. Her warm, compassionate, and free-of-judgment nature will make you feel right at home.
