Michelle Saunders is a dietitian based in Phillip, in Canberra (Level 3, Stellar Building, 50 Launceston Street, Phillip ACT 2606).
She focuses on everyday food choices and how they can support health and wellbeing. If you’re trying to eat better but feel stuck, you can start with the basics and build from there. In many cases, small changes make a big difference, especially when life is busy.
Michelle provides nutritional counselling, meal planning, and weight management advice. She also offers healthy eating guidance for people who want clearer direction and a plan they can actually follow. This might include working out what to eat on different days, planning simple meals, or figuring out what’s getting in the way of your routine.
Her appointments suit a range of needs. Some people come in because they want help with weight goals. Others want support for better eating habits, feeling more energised, or managing how food affects their day to day life. At times, people also just want a calm check-in and practical steps, rather than lots of rules or complicated diets.
Over time, Michelle helps clients look at their current eating patterns and then make adjustments that fit their preferences, schedule, and budget. The aim is not perfection. It’s about setting goals that feel realistic and easy to keep up with.
For meal planning, she works with you to think through what to cook, what to buy, and how to manage portions. You’ll usually leave with clearer ideas for what to eat next, and how to make progress without turning food into a stressful job.
If you’ve tried to change your diet before and it didn’t last, that’s normal. Michelle understands that barriers can pop up. She helps you spot those points early and adjust the plan so it still works when things get hectic.
Michelle’s dietetic work is grounded in practical nutrition support, with an emphasis on simple, steady progress. You can expect a friendly, down-to-earth approach focused on real meals and real life.
