A bit about me….

Firstly, welcome & a big hello!!

I’m Rebecca Anderson, an Accredited Practicing Dietitian and a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician. I also have studied Exercise Sports Science and I’m a qualified Physiotherapist. As you can see from my qualifications, I have always had a unique fascination with the human body, what makes it tick and how we can assist it to function optimally.

However, there were a few years just after I finished high school, that this love and passion for wellbeing became obsessive and disordered. I developed an eating disorder which required hospitalisation. I had a lengthy inpatient admission and then attended the day program and all of the specialist appointments that were required for me to progress in recovery.

It took me many years to navigate the rocky path to reach full recovery, but I am very proud to say that I have 100% recovered from my eating disorder! I am now an incredibly happy human who has a fabulous relationship with food and my body. I now get to guide other woman through their recovery, teach them how to nourish themself, find food freedom and make peace with their body.

I have extensive experience working with eating disorders and disordered eating clients across various settings (inpatient, day program, group therapy, and outpatients) and I have worked with hundreds of women to help them overcome their eating disorder, regain control of their life and enjoy food again.

What I have noticed however is that the traditional model of seeing clients for an initial consultation, then seeing them over subsequent weeks and months for follow up consultations was certainly not the most effective way for the client to achieve their optimal result in the most condensed timeframe possible. There is a huge portion of time between sessions where questions might be thought of, support or guidance required and the need for accountability is high.  

My former eating disorder and my journey to full recovery will never be the same as anyone else’s, I’m the first to acknowledge that everyone’s journey is uniquely their own. I have used my own journey, evidence-based practice, and my own clinical experience to create a program and support service which I wish existed when I was going through recovery, I felt very alone and isolated, like no one really got it.

Based off this I have established RENOURISH, my 4 step signature program designed to help you overcome your eating disorder (or disordered eating), find food freedom, establish joy in movement and make peace with your body.

Outside of my professional life, I am blessed to be part of a beautiful family comprised of my husband, two young boys and our fluffy Cavoodle. I love spending time outdoors, bushwalking, swimming and hopping across Sydney to try delicious food, taste test almond croissants and enjoy coffee.

I’m here to let you know that I get it, I truly do; and I would love to hold your hand through the journey from fearing food to food freedom.
