Meet Vivienne
Vivienne is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with a passion for PCOS, fertility, and a diet-free approach.
“I started my career as a dietitian helping clients optimise health and their relationship with food. Due to my personal experience with PCOS, I want to help people like myself re-establish their bonds with food.
This is where my passion was ignited, and I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to helping women optimise their health, as well as the health of their baby-to-be. I specialise in women’s health concerns to fertility, all the way through to pregnancy nutrition.”

Dietitian vs. Nutritionist
In Australia, there is a difference between a dietitian and other nutritional health providers, including nutritionists. All dietitians are nutritionists, but nutritionists without a dietetics qualification can't call themselves dietitians.
As a profession, nutritionists aren't regulated and can have limited qualifications. The dietetic profession is regulated. Most dietitians have graduated with an approved dietetics degree from an Australian university. Dietitians with the Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) credential commit to ongoing training and education throughout their careers.
It's important to check the credentials of your healthcare provider before making an appointment.
