Zoe Nicholson has worked in private practice for over 20 years. Zoe started her own business in 2004, initially working as a traditional dietitian with the belief she could help people lose weight and manage their health better without dieting or restricting food they enjoy. In 2012 Zoe was introduced to the non-diet approach and by 2014 had fully embraced the philosophy and evidence that helping people lose weight was causing more harm than good. Since then, Zoe has been using the non-diet approach and intuitive eating framework to help people struggling with weight concern, disordered eating, eating disorders and body image to build a healthy relationship with food and body.
