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 in Woollahra, Gordon, Norwest and Penrith, 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 SHOULD BE JOYFUL
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, independent of body size, age, or ability.

DANIELLE BELL
NDIS MANAGER & ACCREDITED PRACTISING DIETITIAN
(BSC, MNUTRDIET)
Danielle is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) who strives to help her clients improve their quality of life. Whatever that means to them.
Danielle completed her studies at the University of Sydney, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Nutrition and Metabolism & Neuroscience) and a Master of Nutrition and Dietetics. As a lover of learning, Danielle has also completed additional training in the following areas:
- The Low FODMAP Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Advanced Non-Diet Approach for Dietitians workshop
- Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding
- Food Scientist Model: SOS Approach to Feeding Adaptation for the School Aged Child
- Feeding Children with Autism Using the Satter Model
Inspired by the Non-Diet Approach, Danielle helps her clients explore the role of food as a self-care tool in the many roles it takes, the energiser, the nurturer, the connector, the satisfier. Thanks to diet culture, too many individuals feel compelled to shrink themselves in order to pursue health. Danielle offers an alternative view, helping individuals experience more trust and less stress about their food decisions, in the body they are in right now. Danielle brings this perspective to her key areas of interest, including:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Gut Health*
- Healthy food and body relationships in children
- Positive mealtimes for Autistic individuals
- Exploring sensory sensitivities/food aversion in children and adults
- Nutrition rehabilitation for individuals living with disabilities (malnutrition, loss of strength, decline in food intake)
*Please note Danielle does not offer services for suspected food chemical intolerances or implementation of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital elimination diet.
In her downtime Danielle enjoys discovering new waterside walking tracks, listening to podcasts, befriending animals or sharing a coffee with loved ones.
