eating disorder dietitian melbourne

Lane founded Guardian Dietitian out of a deep passion for helping people restore their relationships with food and their bodies. Witnessing the challenges many face with eating, well-being, and body image, Lane recognised the need for compassionate, evidence-based support that goes beyond numbers on a scale—helping individuals rebuild trust in themselves and create a lasting connection between body, mind, and food.

Lane is experienced in supporting adolescents and adults with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, OSFED, and disordered eating patterns, as well as individuals managing co-occurring chronic diseases and mental health conditions impacted by eating behaviors. Lane believes that recovery is more than just eating differently—it’s a journey of physical, emotional, and mental healing that fosters long-term well-being and self-compassion.

With over a decade of experience, Lane is dedicated to creating a welcoming, supportive space where individuals feel heard and empowered to move toward a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food.
