Nourishment Society

As a holistic nutritionist and whole-foods plant-based advocate, Abi specialises in helping overweight women lose weight while reducing their risk factors for chronic disease and illness.

With Ali, the underlying causes of disease or discomfort are treated rather than just the symptoms to improve your health and wellbeing in many areas. 

Based on her philosophy that food is medicine, she is deeply passionate about guiding women towards a plant-based lifestyle and helping them live their most full, nourished lives.

While taking your individual preferences into consideration, her nutrition recommendations are based on a whole-food, plant-based approach. She helps her clients achieve outstanding success by putting into practice simple habits and focusing on self-love and abundance.  

She will put together a balanced diet plan for you that includes meals you will enjoy. To ensure you meet all your nutritional needs, she may recommend vitamins and nutritional supplements along with diet and lifestyle modifications.

Consultations with Abi are available online or in-person at the Adelaide Hills Natural Health Centre.

Services Offered

Nutrition Consultations

Your first consultation comprises discussing your current health and diet, your goals, and any major changes you would like to implement before your follow-up session. 

While a follow-up consultation with Abi is recommended at least once, many clients decide to continue working together on a monthly basis to maintain their health goals.

Abi provides services in the following areas:

Weight Management

Has your weight been an issue for you for a long time? If you've tried many diets and got frustrated because the weight keeps creeping back on, it may be time to try something new. 

There’s more to weight management than simply counting calories.

Abi's number one priority is to provide you with the information, support and accountability you need to change your lifestyle, diet, and mindset to conquer obesity for good, without using low-calorie plans or restricting carbs.

Diabetes Prevention

Short- and long-term effects of high blood sugar can be harmful to the body. A prevention diet typically includes portion control, carbohydrate limits, and, for overweight people, calorie restrictions. 

However, there is another option. A low-fat, plant-based diet is ideal for controlling weight and increasing insulin sensitivity. As an added benefit, they do not require weighing or measuring portions.

Cholesterol and Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol go hand in hand. Because of cholesterol plaque and calcium (atherosclerosis), the heart must pump blood more vigorously through hardened and narrowed arteries. Consequently, blood pressure increases.

Several studies have shown that a whole-food plant-based diet low in saturated fats and high in fibre can reduce these risk factors for heart disease.

Gut Health

Perhaps you have had digestive issues all your life, thinking that this is just the way your body digests food.

Abi can help you better understand your digestive process and improve your well-being by identifying the underlying causes of your discomfort. She can assist you with creating a well-balanced meal plan that contains the foods that your body can handle.

Stress and Mood

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are linked to depression, fatigue, and irritability in individuals who are not properly nourished. 

Abi can show you how what you eat affects your mood, how to increase nourishing foods that improve the gut microbiome, reduce inflammation, and increase happy hormones like serotonin.

General Healthy Eating Advice

Even if you are not experiencing any negative symptoms, it may be beneficial to improve your current eating habits to maintain a healthy weight and feel better. 

Choosing a plant-based diet will help boost your energy and strengthen your immune system.
