Hello!

I’m Laura - the dietitian behind ‘Nautilus Nutrition & Dietetics.’

I adore living and working in tropical Far North Queensland on the Cassowary Coast.

I bring to the table realistic and tailored advice designed to suit your lifestyle and needs. I have a nurturing approach and consider the whole person - not just what you eat.

I have been university educated on the sunny Gold Coast with a Dietitian’s Australia accredited Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Griffith University). Prior to this, I completed a double degree in Exercise Science and Psychology.

I have spent the early few years of my career working in the public sector as a rural generalist community dietitian - with experience in paediatrics, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, neurological injury, malnutrition, enteral feeding and oncology.

However, living regionally, I noticed access to healthcare professionals outside of the public sector is limited with many of my patients needing to travel to Cairns or Townsville for care.

This is how Nautilus Nutrition & Dietetics was born… local people looking after local people.

I know by working together, I know that we can build the foundations to a nourished and vibrant life.
