About GLOW GROUP Dietitians
Glow Group Health and Wellbeing is a Dietitian Service built to support healthy relationships with food and body. We offer nutrition assessment and support at our clinics located across Greater Sydney and Melbourne, as well as consults online or in the comfort of your own home.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
YOUR STORY MATTERS
Glow Group understands that listening and learning from you is the most valuable component of our work together. We are committed to providing unique support to each client we see, without making assumptions.
FOOD, FOR LIFE
Glow Group practises from the perspective that food should not only help meet your physiological needs, but also be a satisfying and a healthy part of social and emotional occasions. Developing a healthy relationship with food helps to reduce tension around the eating experience, a skill that we can help you nurture
A FOCUS ON HEALTH, NOT SHAPE
Glow Group believes health is not a size, but rather, a spectrum, shaped by not only your physical health, but also your mental, social and emotional wellbeing. At Glow Group, we move the focus away from the scales and work with you to improve measurable health outcomes, whatever that may mean to you.
YOU KNOW YOUR BODY BEST
We view ourselves as a point of guidance for you. We can bring our evidence base to help offer you trustworthy information, when you are ready and interested. You can bring your curiosity and willingness to experiment. Together we can work towards a greater connection to your own body wisdom.
A SAFER SPACE
Glow Group was founded as a safer space for you to feel heard and validated in your health care journey. We aim to hold a space for our clients where safety is prioritised. We are determined to provide gentle and accessible nutritional care for all bodies.
