Dedicated Experience: A holistic, client centred approach grounded in practical experience.

 
Expert Qualifications: Advanced degrees in nutrition science and education, with a specialisation in mental health nutrition, underpin my evidence-based, personalised nutritional advice.


 Our Core Principles for Nutrition

Our core principles for nutrition and nourishing wellbeing:

All Food is Good Food: We advocate for the joy of eating, emphasizing that nourishment is paramount. There are no 'bad' foods in my practice, only balanced, sustainable habits that celebrate the diversity of nutrition.
The Impact of Trauma: Recognising that trauma, whether food-related or otherwise, significantly influences our dietary choices and overall health, our strategies are sensitive to these experiences. I provide a compassionate space for healing and growth, acknowledging the intricate ways our histories shape our present.
Individual Journeys: Every individual's path to health is unique. We reject one-size-fits-all solutions, offering instead personalised support that meets you where you are. This individualised approach ensures that dietary changes are not just sustainable but deeply resonant with your personal story, needs, and goals.

Our Approach

Personalized Nutrition: We recognize that everyone's support needs, cooking skills, time, and budget vary. Our approach is tailored to meet these individual differences.
Flexible Service Delivery: We offer traditional session-based support and innovative services designed to involve participants' key supporters, such as natural family, peer supports, support workers, and peer mentors, enhancing the effectiveness of dietary changes.
Inclusive Support: Whether through telehealth or in-person meetings, we work collaboratively with participants and their support networks to plan, implement, and evaluate food-based changes, ensuring everyone is part of the journey to better health.

The link between food & mood

As a Nutritionist I specialize in mental health nutrition. Current research has shown that what we eat can have a profound impact on the way we feel and our mental health. Studies out of Deakin University's Centre for Food & Mood has found that dietary changes not only improve mental health outcomes for individuals, it also saved them money on weekly groceries.

Mental Health Nutrition Core Values

Always prioritize physical and emotional safety in all aspects of communication, coaching, and personalized advice. Nutrition considers both the physical health impacts of food as well as the mental and social health implications of dietary advice.

A trusting relationship build through the transparency of respect, shared information, and communication. Many people have experienced discrimination and stigma regarding composition, weight, health, and lifestyle in respect to their diet and eating habits and how it impacts their mental health. My role as a Nutritionist is to trust that individuals are the experts in their own body and experience.

Our work together is a collaborative process where you, the client, brings their personal experience, goals, and desires, and I as the Nutritionist bring their nutrition science and coaching skills, as well as knowledge gained through experience as a peer. My role is to work beside by clients seeking dietary advice and meal planning support, always prioritizing your expertise in your body and experience.

The role of the Nutritionist is to support the nutrition and body composition goals of the individual, not dictate a plan or method. The role of the nutritionist is to provide evidence based dietary advice and options to support those goals, always prioritizing the choice of the individual.

Empower individuals to have the food and nutrition knowledge and skills for lifelong dietary habits in line with their health and lifestyle goals. A key objective of nutrition coaching is to not need the services of a Nutritionist indefinitely, however the length of time needed is different for everyone and no particular timeframe is considered to be success of the objective.

Respect for the diversity of both individuals and their experiences. Culture, genetics, family, heritage, socio-economics, politics, gender, sex, and identity all play a role in individual nutritional needs. As do past experiences and trauma. This at all times must be honoured when making nutrition plans and giving nutrition advice.

In the years since my start in supporting others in nutrition, my path has evolved significantly. Now, with a wealth of experience under my belt, I stand firm in my mission to demystify nutrition, cutting through the pervasive myths and simplifying the complex to what truly benefits health and wellbeing. My approach, grounded in professional, academic, and personal realms, champions three core beliefs:

1. All Food is Good Food: I advocate for the joy of eating, emphasizing that nourishment is paramount. There are no 'bad' foods in my practice, only balanced, sustainable habits that celebrate the diversity of nutrition.

At Kristine Peter Nutrition, we redefine the nutrition journey. Beyond mere meal plans, we delve into the barriers to dietary change, offering a holistic, flexible service that includes everyone in the circle of support. From 1:1 virtual consultations to inclusive support networks involving natural family, peers, and mentors, our services are designed to empower you towards a healthier, happier self.

As a dedicated Mental Wellness Warrior, I bridge the gap between physical and mental health through thoughtful, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Working primarily with women navigating stress, low mood, and energy, I aim to illuminate the path back to clarity, joy, and self-recognition.

Nutrition myths and diet culture have no place in my practice. Instead, I celebrate the accessibility and individuality of eating well, advocating for a proactive approach to mental and physical health that starts with what we put on our plates.

Understanding that food and nutrition can be tied to trauma, I ensure that my services are respectful, individualised, and trauma-informed. Whether through ongoing communication, meal planning, or educational resources, my support is unwavering, guiding you towards your goals on your terms.

Operating with a client-first ethos, I cater to both private and NDIS Plan & Self Managed clients, though I am not an NDIS service provider. My availability for in-person consultations varies by location, so please reach out to discuss your needs.

Embarking on a journey with Kristine Peter Nutrition means accessing a realm of support where your health, both mental and physical, is the priority. For those interested in beginning this transformative journey, a complimentary 30-minute Initial Consultation is the first step towards discovering whether my approach aligns with your path to wellbeing.

Ready to embrace a life where food is not just sustenance, but a source of joy and healing? Let’s connect and embark on this journey together.
