Tailored guidance for any dietary, appetite, weight and gut function difficulties

Expert nutritional guidance that assesses your treatment needs

Nutrition treatment plans tailored around your needs

Nutrition is an important part in the overall treatment of cancer and other health issues. However it is far better when your nutrition needs are individually assessed and when dietary plans are then tailored around current needs and treatment plans.

Jane Freeman is an internationally regarded cancer dietitian and nutritionist who works with individuals to properly assess and then tailor diet and any supplement needs to current treatment goals and any extra health or wellness needs.

Jane will also recommend best options to help manage weight changes (gains or losses),  any taste or eating difficulties. Jane also specialises in gut, bowel or digestive difficulties.

You can now book an online telehealth nutrition treatment assessment and plan with Jane below for $180 (Medicare rebates may be available) by clicking below. Or you can see Jane in person at the Centre for Wellbeing at the Mater Hospital in North Sydney by calling o2 99237246 or email centre manager Simone.Peppitt@svha.org.au

    Consult with a leading cancer dietitian

    Jane Freeman is an internationally regarded and credentialed cancer dietitian and nutritionist (APD, APN). She is also a Leith's trained cook, an IOC (International Olympic Committee) qualified sports nutritionist and British Medical Association award-winning cancer book author.

    She has worked out of leading hospitals and cancer clinics in Australia, London and Singapore, as well as consulted to the World Cancer Research Fund UK, Singapore Cancer Society and the Australian Cancer Council.

    Jane understands that every person she sees is an individual with their own set of dietary likes or dislikes and needs. She spends the time needed to understand  their medical and health parameters, to assess their nutrition health states and what in fact they actually do eat, before then detailing the specifics of what could be adjusted in their usual approaches to contribute more.

    People who consult Jane say the 1:1 nutritional advice given makes an enormous difference to how they feel and do. They feel comforted to know what they need at this time and what are the best food or supplement options for them.
