About Jasmine

Since I was younger, I have always been in the kitchen cooking and baking with my mum, which turned into running a baking business with my mother-in-law for a short period of time! That led me to have a few jobs in hospitality ​before becoming a dietitian. I knew that putting people on diet plans and telling everyone to lose weight wasn't something that resonated with me. Luckily, one day during my Master's degree, a non-diet, eating disorder dietitian spoke to my class—and I have been inspired ever since.
 

However, this was a bit of a process to fully commit to working as a non-diet clinician, since much of our world is all about diets and weight loss. I had to reflect on my past behaviours and thoughts towards food and my body. This was when I realised that my mum never really got over her eating disorder, and I too was going down that road during high school and at the beginning of uni. 

​

I started The Unordinary Dietitian to provide the kind of care my mum never received for her eating disorder, trauma and mental illnesses. I want to carry the hope for folks that one day they will reclaim their freedom and experience of what life is really about, without worrying about their bodies or what they eat. It is possible to have the eating disorder and all of your other parts sit beside you and watch in awe as you begin to live again.

• My spare time involves baking, crafting, playing with my French Bulldogs, Bleu & Bee or playing PC games

• My hyperfixation topic is my job...especially eating disorders...and dogs
