Dietetics

Nourishing your body, supporting your recovery

At Restore Oncology Care, we understand that nutrition plays a vital role throughout your cancer journey. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or recovering post-treatment, your nutritional needs are unique—and they deserve expert, compassionate care.

Our accredited practising dietitian, Katherine, is here to provide individualised support and guidance to help you feel stronger, more energised, and empowered to make choices that nourish your body and support your recovery.

Cancer and Nutrition: Why It Matters

Proper nutrition is more than just food—it’s part of your treatment. For individuals facing cancer, nutrition can help manage treatment side effects, maintain muscle mass and energy levels, and support immune health and recovery. Yet cancer and its treatments can often make eating difficult or confusing.

Katherine specialises in oncology dietetics and has extensive experience working with people affected by cancer. She understands the complex relationship between treatment, appetite, digestion, and nutrition—and she’s here to help you navigate it with confidence.

Dietetic Services We Offer

1. Personalised Nutrition Assessments

Katherine conducts in-depth assessments that consider your:

  • Cancer type and treatment plan
  • Current symptoms or side effects (e.g. nausea, fatigue, taste changes)
  • Nutritional status and dietary habits
  • Medical history and overall health

These assessments form the foundation for a tailored nutrition plan that’s practical, realistic, and supportive of your health goals.

2. Tailored Meal and Eating Plans

Your nutrition needs are unique—so your meal plan should be too. Katherine will design a personalised eating plan that:

  • Accounts for your energy and protein needs
  • Accommodates taste changes, nausea, or swallowing difficulties
  • Works around any dietary restrictions or preferences
  • Supports weight maintenance or gain where needed

3. Nutrition Education and Counselling

You’ll receive clear, evidence-based advice on how to meet your nutrition needs through every phase of treatment. Katherine will:

  • Help you understand what to eat and why
  • Support you through common challenges like loss of appetite or unintentional weight loss
  • Help prevent unnecessary dietary restrictions or food anxiety
  • Provide tools and tips to make eating easier and more enjoyable
