100% recommend Danè
An amazing practitioner.
Listens, hears and spends time to find the root cause and addresses it.
No more bandaid measures.

Amazing !!
I was put on to Danè through a work colleague. Without going in to too much depth, I had serious menstrual symptoms and constant bloating and stomach issues.
I had tried everything to alleviate my symptoms which were, at times quite debilitating.
I felt like I had tried so many options, and was truly about to "just accept" my symptoms.
I decided to contact Danè, and straight away was blown away by her knowledge bank.
She explained what might be triggering my symptoms and why.
Let me tell you, after just a short while, I feel human again.
Danè helped me find the right natural remedies and explained to me how they would help and the reasons why. The foods we eat can either relieve or trigger our symptoms....it is very fascinating.
I am feeling so much better, and happier.
I would 110 % recommend Danè to anyone needing nutritional advise, or help with persistent and irritating health issues.
Thanks Danè !!

I had a couple of injuries and was not healing well. After a consultation with Dane and following her suggestions on diet and vitamins, I started improving almost immediately. Dane was very easy to work with, she explained the whys and where fors in a manner that made sense to me, and hence the great results. Thank you. More...

Danè & her team at The Nutritional Chef catered to a 9 day corporate retreat held in Byron Bay.
The meals were exemplary both in presentation, portions and mouthwatering flavours.
At the end of the retreat we all felt amazing and clean.
There were quite a few sensitive dietaries whom Danè had consulted and with guests prior to arrival.
Her cross functional skills as a chef and licensed insured clinical nutritionist meant we felt safe in knowing the attendees health was in good hands.
Definitely will be using The Nutritional Chefs services again.

Hiring Dane’ from The Nutrtional Chef, was such a relief as she was professional and knowledgeable, and created a visually appealing selection of extremely nutritious and tasty menu choices that catered to the culinary needs of guests who had various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegan options and pescatarian needs. She was easy to deal with from start to finish, extremely efficient and totally took the stress away for me of worrying about how to ensure everyone’s food requirements would be met. Would highly recommend using her services if you want that ‘something special’ that is both nutritious, that everyone loves and you can relax and enjoy the occasion! More...

Dane has cooked for the Saudi palace, and they only take the best world wide. I was fortunate enough to have Dane cater for my function. The presentation was fabulous as was the taste; guests raved about it. I’ve since seen Dane privately for a nutritional program which was once again delicious but more importantly supported my health and well-being. More...

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
Food is Medicine.
It contains all the vital elements that keep our bodies running. Getting the right micro and macronutrients fuels your engine to run optimally.
If we are lacking even in one of those elements it will have an impact on our wellbeing.
What do you love most about your job?
Healing people.
Giving them the power to understand how to eat to nourish themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love food.
20 years ago the only healthy food offer was along the lines of mung beans, carrot sticks, dal and wheat shots.
I wanted to make it delicious so I trained at Le Cordon Culinary Arts to become a chef and then went to college to become an accredited nutritionist. Mix the 2 together and you have delicious healthy healing food.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I know my stuff. I get results.
It matters to me what I do and why I do it.
Over 20 years of national and international nutritionist consultation and cheffing.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. Due to Covid 19 my services are via Telehealth when providing nutrition consults and coaching.
A combination of either Zoom, GoogleTime, FaceTime and phone.
If onsite as a chef, we mask, glove up and clean all surfaces with disinfectant.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I’m up to date with Continuing Professional Education annually. This is the best evidence based practice on safe health practices.
