Chris

They have challenged and encouraged me in the best possible ways. They’re fantastic at providing genuine and realistic weight management solutions and advice. I’ve truly learned so much and am very grateful for the support.

Sonya
★★★★★

Ebony is very professional and an expert when it comes to diet. She is friendly and makes time to ensure you know the way forward. She makes it easy to transition to eating healthier, what to look for and how to avoid spending time looking at labels or stressing about food.

Toni
★★★★★

From our first session, Jakarta took the time to understand my health, lifestyle, and goals rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. What has impressed me most is her ability to make it all practical and achievable. I’m eating healthy now and actually enjoying it!

Graeme
★★★★★

A great dietitian doesn’t just tell you what to eat - they educate, empower, and build a partnership that supports long-term health. Jakarta exemplifies all these qualities! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert guidance delivered with empathy, and care.

Common questions

Bariatric dietitian FAQ.

Should I see a dietitian before bariatric surgery?

Many surgical teams recommend it, and it helps you feel prepared. Check what your surgeon requires, and we can support you with the dietary side.

Can you help after surgery?

Yes. We help with each post-surgery stage, protein and hydration targets, supplements and long-term eating habits.

I had surgery years ago. Is it too late?

No. Many people come to us years after surgery to refresh their eating habits or work through weight regain or nutrient concerns.

Can I have appointments online?

Yes. Appointments are available by telehealth from anywhere in Australia, or in clinic across QLD and the NT.

Do I need a referral to book?

Not to book privately, you can call or fill in the form yourself. You do need a referral from your GP if you are using Medicare or DVA, and we can tell you what to ask for.
