Alice Murray who joined our Kensington Psychology & Well-Being team is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) from the Adelaide Hills who has specialised skills in dietary counselling, mindful eating and facilitating positive lifestyle and behaviour change. Alice strongly believes food should be enjoyed not feared, and our eating patterns should be based around good quality, whole foods that complement our individual appetites and metabolism.
Adopting the right approach to eating begins with self-reflection toward your eating patterns and attitude to foods and your body. Alice can support you to identify and reshape the thought processes and eating behaviours that you find challenge you on a day to day basis to be healthy, fit and happy. Alice will teach you about mindful, intuitive eating, and provide you with tools and helpful strategies so you can plan, prepare and consume balance meals.
