Eryn Richards

Dietitian

Hey, I’m Eryn! Growing up in a family that includes a nurse, an occupational therapist and a couple of physiotherapists who are very passionate about their jobs, I had no choice but to pursue a career in health. Along with my love of food, I decided it would be a great idea to do something that combines both- health and nutrition. One day after a tunnel of university studies, I woke up as an Accredited Practising Dietitian and I haven’t looked back, embracing every opportunity. I feel extremely lucky, as I absolutely love what I do. I have worked for several health services including Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Bunbury Regional Hospital. I then became a bit tired of our fine, gorgeous, predictable weather here in Perth and decided to change my scenery by moving to British Columbia, Canada to gain international experience. Between my weekends exploring the island of Victoria or venturing to the mainland to hike in the summer and snowboarding in the winter, I worked for Island Health. This involved covering various inpatient and outpatient areas at Victoria General Hospital, Royal Jubilee Hospital and Cowichan District Hospital. I have gained a wide range of experience in the areas of mental health, gastroenterology, neurology, oncology, and heart health. I’ve enjoyed various aspects of all my prior work but particularly loved working as part of the multidisciplinary team at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital treating all patients admitted with an eating disorder. This is where my special interest in disordered eating and eating disorders began and this special interest continued to flourish when I worked in mental health in Canada. After returning from overseas, I joined my amazing team at Dietwise. I feel so grateful to get to continue working in my area of interest, whilst taking the time to get to know my patients and the journeys that have led them to Dietwise. I have been described as calm and serene and together with my pal Eddie we create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment. I feel extremely lucky, as I absolutely love what I do. When I am not at work, you will likely find me at the beach or camping with my partner and of course Eddie.

Georgina Carmichael

Dietitian

Hi there. My name is Georgie and I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian and passionate foodie. I grew up in a small town in Cornwall, England but have called Perth my home for the last 12 years. My journey with nutrition and passion for all things food started a long time ago after a visit from a dietitian in year 8 at school. I felt a great sense of comfort at that moment, that I had discovered my ‘calling’ in life. After moving to Australia in 2012, I worked across retail and hospitality until I became an Australian Citizen. From there, I was able to commence the journey to fulfil my childhood dream of becoming a dietitian. Through that journey, my dream developed into a passion to help people feel empowered to make nutrition changes by offering a safe space to have a voice and be heard without judgement. My journey as a dietitian has also been shaped by my own personal struggles with body image which led me to adopt a weight neutral / Non-Diet Approach in my practice. Having navigated these struggles, I have developed a deep level of compassion for others and understand the importance of creating an environment free of judgement and shame. I strive to empower people in their own personal nutrition journeys, placing them at the centre of our work together and consider their lived experiences, neurotype, values and individual goals. In terms of other areas of expertise, I have experience in nutrition for chronic conditions, including PCOS, high cholesterol, fatty liver, chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. Since having my son in 2022 and facing the many challenges of introducing solids, I developed an interest in paediatric nutrition. Other areas of interest include; food intolerances and allergies, including the Low FODMAP Diet and other digestive issues. In my spare time, you will find me chasing my little boy on his bike, cooking Thai food, getting out in nature for a coast walk or sitting on the beach and listening to Mythos by Stephen Fry.

Maureen Byrne(She/her/hers)

Dietitian

I’m an Irish-trained dietitian now calling Australia home. For me, food represents more than nourishment- it is connection and community shaped by my early experiences in a family of food producers. It sparked my passion for health, and how food shapes it, and set me on a path of endless curiosity about nutrition, health and wellbeing. That curiosity led me to Ulster University, where I graduated with First Class Honours in Dietetics. During my studies, I explored my passion for biology, biochemistry, and clinical nutrition, and my clinical placements gave me hands-on experience across paediatrics, acute wards, and community settings. After graduation, I worked as an acute dietitian across a variety of areas — from nutritional support across the lifespan, and enteral feeding, to swallowing issues, rehabilitation, and chronic disease management. Every day was different – and I loved it! This experience built a strong foundation of clinical skills and experience. I love helping clients explore their relationship with food in a way that feels safe, supportive, and sustainable. My approach is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in both science and compassion. One motto I live by is focusing on what we can control, rather than what we can’t — it’s amazing how freeing that perspective can be. I’m especially passionate about helping clients navigate complex relationships with food, from sensory sensitivities to chronic conditions and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space where change feels achievable, practical, flexible and not overwhelming. At Dietwise, I practise using a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming and harm-minimisation approach. I work from a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size® (HAES-aligned) lens, focusing on optimising nutrition to support all aspects of health rather than rigid weight-centric care. In addition, a central focus of my practice is supporting children, adolescents and adults experiencing picky or fussy eating, and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). I take a structured but gentle approach that prioritises felt safety, food preferences, sensory needs, nervous system regulation and autonomy. I also work with digestive health concerns including IBS (with FODMAP support where appropriate), coeliac disease, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea and food intolerances. My focus is on improving symptoms while maintaining nutritional adequacy and avoiding unnecessary restriction. I support individuals managing metabolic and chronic conditions such as hypercholesterolaemia, MAFLD, hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Women’s health is another area of interest, including PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, pregnancy and menopause. I provide evidence-based nutrition support that acknowledges hormonal complexity while remaining sensitive to body image concerns. For clients using GLP-1 weight loss medications, I provide structured nutrition guidance to support adequate protein and micronutrient intake, minimise gastrointestinal side effects and preserve lean muscle mass. I also assist with underweight and malnutrition, iron and other micronutrient deficiencies, oral nutrition supplementation and PEG feeding. -------Work days: Mon-Fri-------
