Mrs Rachel Van Der Meer is a dietitian based in Bowral, NSW. Her practice is at 99 Bowral St, Bowral NSW 2576. Rachel helps people make practical changes to food and eating habits, without the stress of “perfect” diets.
As a dietitian, Rachel works with patients who want more guidance with everyday nutrition. That can include people managing weight, improving the way they eat, or simply wanting clearer, more useful advice. In many cases, she sees clients who feel a bit stuck, like they know they should eat better but life gets in the way. At times, it’s also about building healthier routines around what they’re already eating.
Rachel’s approach is calm and down to earth. She focuses on nutritional counselling that fits real life, not strict rules. You might talk through what’s happening now, what’s getting in the way, and what small changes could work better. Meal planning is often part of the plan too, especially for people who want less thinking during busy weeks, or who want ideas that are easy to manage at home.
For some people, the goal is steady weight management advice. For others, it’s better overall nutrition, learning how to read their food labels, or understanding how to balance meals. Rachel also provides nutrition education, so you can feel confident about your choices and not rely on guesswork. She keeps things clear, and she’s happy to explain things in simple language.
Rachel has a strong foundation from her dietetics training, which helps her turn nutrition information into practical steps. She also works with different needs and preferences, because there isn’t one single way that suits everyone. If you’ve tried changes before and they didn’t stick, that’s okay. Often, the best plans are the ones that match your routine, your budget, and your health goals.
No matter what brings you in, Rachel’s aim is to help you move forward with food in a way that feels manageable. If you’d like support with nutritional counselling, meal planning, weight management advice, or nutrition education, you can book with her in Bowral.
