Practitioners at this location
Dr Shelley Wilkinson(She/her)
Dietitian
Dr Shelley is one of Australia's leading maternal health dietitians.
She complements over 25 years of nutrition expertise with a PhD in psychology, balancing the 'know-what' of nutrition with the 'know-how' of innovative behaviour change techniques.
Dr Shelley is passionate about helping women optimise their dietary habits and relationship with food to improve their fertility, pregnancy and long-term health and well-being into the postnatal period. She values the privilege of working with women at this key life stage, enhancing their opportunity to improve personal lifestyle behaviours with lasting positive intergenerational effects.
Previously, she was the Senior Maternity Research Dietitian at Brisbane’s Mater Mothers Hospital for 12 years. During this time she developed and delivered innovative, women-focussed programs that resulted in improved diet quality, increased fruit and vegetable intake, and physical activity levels, a need for less medication (in gestational diabetes), as well as a greater proportion of women achieving their pregnancy weight gain goals.
She achieves this through tailoring knowledge from the scientific research to women's individual lifestyles and preferences in an empathetic and non-judgemental way. Dr Shelley has also completed the Dr Rick Kausman 'if not dieting' training and incorporates many of these techniques and approaches in her counselling sessions.
Ms Elin Donaldson(She/her)
Dietitian
Elin has worked as an Accredited Practising Dietitian for more than ten years, with most of these as the Mater Mothers Hospital Senior Maternity Dietitian.
She has extensive experience and a special interest in gestational diabetes and all aspects of nutrition and weight management related to preconception, pregnancy and postnatal care.
Elin is passionate about women’s health and, as a mum with personal experience with IVF and GDM, brings an empathetic approach to helping women to tailor evidence-based and practical nutrition advice to their individual requirements and preferences.
She has also completed the Dr Rick Kausman ‘if not dieting’ training and incorporates many of these techniques and approaches in her counselling sessions.

COOKBOOK FEATURES: 40 recipes 11 breakfasts 21 lunch/dinner 8 snacks Suitable for freezing Macros and micros Recipe tips and swaps ~~~~~~ Congratulations on the arrival of your new bub. This will be a time of many changes in your life as you redefine your ‘new normal’. The benefits of eating well, being active and managing your weight in a healthy way are well known. However, it can still be hard to find the right information for you, and to remain empowered to make these changes. Balance at this time can feel hard with competing priorities of your new bub, your family, and with your own often left until last. When we’ve talked with new mums about what works for them to feel nourished, healthy, and strong they’ve told us they’ve needed to adapt routines and habits that used to be their go-to’s for nutrition and exercise. Acknowledging that time is scarce and less flexible, they shared how a little planning and some simple new routines helped them feel less overwhelmed. Many loved online shopping (and even delivery) for groceries, and also relied on meal kits and pre-prepared meals. Lifestyle Maternity have partnered with PeNut to support new mums in meeting these important goals. To buy the cookbook by itself head to https://lifestylematernity.teachable.com/courses
