I’m Eva-Maria

Passionate about Burnout Prevention

This is my story

I’m so lucky: I grew up on organic farms in Austria and Canada. We had the luxury of having a veggie patch and fruit orchard, eating pickled, fermented, and probiotic foods year-round. For generations, my family worked the land and understood the importance of nourishing foods long before it became a hashtag and so my interested in the power of food was sparked at a young age.

I started my career in international management. For more than a decade I lived and worked on three continents. At the time, my work was my priority and preparing a nutritious meal was often the last thing on my mind.

After pushing too hard for too long and not prioritising my health and wellbeing, I found myself on a downward health spiral. I was chronically fatigued, developed hormonal problems, suffered from gallstones - and finally realised that I was racing down the path of burnout.

So I did the - in my mind - only sensible thing to do: I quit and went on to study nutritional therapy.

I wanted to profoundly understand how nutrition and lifestyle choices can make the difference between excelling in life or burning out.

Fast forward to today.

It is my mission to ignite a fascination for the healing power of food and to empower my clients to regain control over their health. I am Melbourne’s go-to nutritionist for burnout prevention, whereas my special interests lie in gut health as well as managing energy, mood and hormones.

I never prescribe restrictive diets. Instead I create highly personalised nutrition and lifestyle programs to help you feel your best again.

I also deliver bespoke corporate nutrition workshops online, offline, in Melbourne and around the world. Nutrition workshops are available in English, French and German.

Outside of in my nutrition clinic, I am a committee member of European Business, the Australian network lead for BANT and I run the Austrian Consulate in Melbourne. In my free time I’m an avid traveller, solo hiker, dancer, and I enjoy tending to my veggie patch!
