Meet Mattea

Mattea – Director & Senior Dietitian
Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics, Master of Public Health, Graduate Diploma in Counselling (in progress)

Hi, I’m Mattea…

I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian with over 10 years of experience, a Master of Public Health, and currently furthering my studies in counselling. My journey has shown me that nourishing your body is about so much more than just food—it’s about mindset, mental health, and the way we connect with ourselves.

I’m passionate about helping people break free from diet culture and all the confusion that comes with it—fad diets, food rules, calorie counting, the scale. Instead, I support you to build a positive, balanced relationship with food and your body.

My own experiences with coeliac disease, sport, and healing from an eating disorder have shaped how I practise today. I know what it feels like to struggle with food, and I also know the freedom and peace that comes from learning to truly nourish yourself.

At Mind & Body Adelaide, I combine nutrition science with counselling-informed support, focusing on the health of your whole body and mind. My goal is to help you feel empowered, confident, and at peace with food—while enjoying it along the way.

I believe in an individualised, compassionate approach: I’ll listen to your story, understand your goals, and walk beside you every step of the way.

If you’re ready to move away from restriction and into nourishment and trust—I look forward to meeting you 🙂

Mattea practices at the following clinics:

  • Port Norlunga | Saltfleet Clinic

My philosophy

l specialise in Holistic Health, Non- Diet Approach, Weight Neutral Care, Sport Nutrition, Gut Health and Eating Disorders.

I am passionate about helping my clients achieve sustainable change, improving eating habits and healing their relationship with food.

My mission is to arm you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage your own nutrition for the rest of your life. It's learning about food, connecting with, trusting and respecting your body and its ever-changing needs. It's about (re)discovering a love of food, and making food choices based on a sense of freedom, not restriction, deprivation and fear.

Start your journey toward real healthy eating by connecting with me online or in-person at one of my locations.

  • More energy

  • Better sleep

  • A better relationship with food

  • Improved bowels

  • Muscle gain and maintenance

  • Improved performance and recovery for your sport

  • Reduced risk of injury in your sport

Things I help you with that are not weight related: 

  • Meal and snack ideas

  • Balanced eating

  • Improved relationships (with parents, siblings, children) as a result of improved energy

  • Reduced binge eating

  • Lowered cholesterol and blood sugar levels

  • Improved Iron levels

  • Improved gut microbiome and therefore gut function

Improvements people are seeing:

  • My energy levels have increased

    I have been following the plan and I would say my energy has been better, I have been training well, strength has increased (made my coach laugh a few times when he kept adding the weights). Sleep advice is definitely helping, I have been reading books rather than screen time. The great news is that I have been selected for the National Powerlifting Champs in Brisbane

  • Night time cravings have stopped!

    I told my doctor I then got input from Mattea to increase my carbohydrates to reduce my craving for food just before I go to bed. The input from you has increased my energy - from eating more carbohydrates and more fruit, it stopped the night time cravings

  • No longer tired and feeling depleted

    My energy levels are much better I definitely don’t feel as depleted and tired

  • I have a greater understanding of nourishing my body

    I eat more. I feel more energetic. I’ve lost weight and I have a greater understanding of what I need to eat to nourish my body

  • Freedom from food + binge eating!

    I have learnt so much from the Nutrition and Mindset program. It has helped me so much with my binge eating and the understanding of having a balanced diet and a freedom of food! I used to stress so much about my eating and it controlled me everyday, and the aftermath of that is I would try to be “healthy” (restricting any sort of sugar) and then immediately give up and binge eat. But now I can eat anything I want without guilt, and I feel comfortable in my body. I have also improved my gut health, after assessing my diet and realising I needed more fruit and vegetables. I’m so glad I completed this program, I feel so content with my eating now!
