Hello!
I'm Adelle, and I'm all about helping you on your eating disorder recovery journey. I have a bit of a unique approach, I'm not here to provide you a generic meal plan and send you on your way. I love unraveling the connections between trauma and your relationship with food; it might sound a bit unconventional, but it's where I thrive (I love a good trauma-dump). I believe in meeting you where you're at because this is your path, not mine or anyone else's. And let's face it, recovery doesn't follow a linear, one-size-fits-all plan, which can be frustrating, but we'll navigate it together
My Story
I grew up in regional Victoria but that's boring so fast forward a little while, and I found myself at uni for a solid eight years. I completed my Bachelor of Science where I majored in Nutrition, and went on to complete a Masters in Dietetics. Suffice to say, I love learning, research and evidence-based approaches.
I'm someone who understands what it's like to feel a bit 'different'. I'm proud to be late-diagnosed neurodivergent human and understand the overwhelming chaos of having unique executive differences.
A topic that's super close to my heart – eating disorders and disordered eating. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I've had my own share of battles with them and from a pretty young age. However, it's made me who I am today and I believe it allows me to have better insight as a practitioner. It's given me a unique perspective, a deeper empathy, and a desire to help others navigate this world where food is seen as morally superior; 'good' and 'bad'.
Just being a human in this world, trying to figure out food and bodies, is tough enough. And that's where I come in – to lend a hand, share some knowledge, and make the journey a little less scary. Supporting diet culture, body autonomy and finding food freedom is (one of many) special interests.
About Me
I'm Adelle Kent, a late-diagnosed neurodivergent human, Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician (CEDC). I am deeply committed to supporting individuals in their recovery from eating disorders and disordered eating. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed, socially just, and affirming care for all genders and neurodivergent experiences.
I collaborate closely with my clients, recognizing that recovery is a journey we navigate together. Recovery is possible, and I am dedicated to providing every person with compassionate, personalized care. While nutritional care is grounded in science, it's crucial to tailor my approach to the unique behaviors and experiences of each of my clients.
And after all of this, I am just a human being trying to support, unpack and connect with other human beings so your life isn't fully consumed with negative food and body image thoughts.
