Highly recommend Sylvia's amazing Devine Feminine Hormone Restore Plan.
I found Sylvia after headaches and vertigo, hearing loss and multiple scans gave me no definitive diagnosis. I am excited to say that after just one month of changes to no processed food and added easy supplements I am 95% symptom free.
Very informative and enthusiastic dietitian, I learnt a lot and will definitely be coming back with more questions in the future
I visited Sylvia after getting told that I have high cholesterol due to genetics. She was able to advise me on lifestyle and dietary changes that I should make which have resulted in my cholesterol levels being normal on every blood test since. Highly recommended!
I learnt so much in my hour with you and with the detailed nutrition plan that followed. Now I just need to stick to it and stay away from chocolate and toasties! Will definitely make another appointment soon 🙂
Really happy with fearless nutrition, set up a nutrition plan , great communication. Value for money.
Sylvia is the real deal. Its great to find a truly knowledgeable and professional nutritionist. She helped my son and his partner to radically change their eating behaviour in a healthy direction. She does this with a combination of deep science, human insights and a sense of humour but no judgement, which allowed her to achieve breakthroughs where other techniques fail. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner: Awesome thank you, John. A pleasure!
I'm really thankful to Sylvia for helping me manage my PCOS symptoms. She took the time to explain everything and made it easier for me to understand what was going on in my body. I was worried about having to follow a strict meal plan, but Sylvia was fantastic at understanding my background and lifestyle and how that affects my diet. Instead, she helped me understand how certain foods affect my body and how to adjust my portions. Since completing her hormone health program, my blood test results have improved significantly, and my hormone levels are back to normal. I now have a regular monthly cycle, and my hormonal breakouts have gotten better. Sylvia is an exceptionally skilled dietitian and I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with hormonal issues like PCOS.
Sylvia North is a highly qualified, approachable nutritionist who gave me all the answers to what I should be eating at this stage of life. She gave me scientific reasons for the food choices she suggested and wrote up a comprehensive plan that was easy to follow and actually achievable. If you are looking for practical and sensible ways to change your eating for the better, then Syvia is the perfect person to talk to. I could not recommend her more. She was exactly what I was looking for.
Sylvia was amazing tweaking my diet to help with my autoimmune diseases. I had been so confused by all the diet noise on the internet/social media and Sylvia made it really simple and straightforward. She is also very understanding of the reality of a busy lifestyle and how to make that work while maintaining good nutrition.
Response from the owner: Amazing. Thank you Suzy!
Sylvia is amazing and was incredibly valuable to my journey. I loved the breakthroughs and that my overall health and mindset will benefit from this new knowledge going forward. Sylvia went above and beyond to tailor the approach/recommendations for me, and she’s really responsive and accommodating. Thanks Sylvia!!
Sylvia was amazing. She quickly assessed my daughter's food/gut issues. We implemented her suggestions and it has made a huge difference. Highly recommended!
Sylvia provides excellent suggestions and advice which are presented in achievable and realistic terms.
Sylvia is awesome - has supported me and kept me accountable to lose 15 kgs over a year. Couldnt recommend her enough!
Highly recommend!!!! I came to Sylvia with gut issues and low energy. I’d been to the doctor and had tests done. I was told nothing was wrong. Sylvia looked at my symptoms and found a lot of the issues were caused by my diet. She was extremely knowledgeable and taught me a lot of things that have helped immensely. She tailored a low fodmap diet so it was high protein and vegetarian - not an easy task! She provided fantastic resources and advice, replied quickly to emails when I needed additional help. I’m so glad I finally took the plunge to see a dietitian!!!!
My experience with Sylvia was amazing! Her approach towards my nutrition has worked for me as I can see results already! I am really happy I made this choice to see her and I will continue doing so if I need a refresher. Thank you Sylvia for your kind manner and how you have helped me.
Sylvia was respectful, responsive, professional and insightful. I cannot recommend her enough.
It was my first experience working with a dietician and I really enjoyed it. I needed to make a few changes in my diet, and Sylvia’s advice was very helpful and easy to apply to my daily life.
Sylvia’s meal plans are excellent. Primarily built around the healthy food you’re already eating, making the lifestyle change easy to sustain. I thoroughly recommend her nutrition services.
Sylvia is great! She empowered me to be a healthier version of myself, by providing me with an eating plan, alternative options to sate my cravings, and directed me to my new best friend, the Nutribullet. 😊 Nutrition has always been a rocky journey for me as I love my junk food, but I've learnt through Sylvia that healthy and nutritious doesn't mean you have to compromise on deliciousness!
Sylvia is knowledgeable and professional and I can tell she is very passionate about nutrition and helping her clients!
Sylvia was fantastic & so supportive in helping me make a great plan for my nutritional goals 🙂

Sylvia was wonderful to work with, she is knowledgeable and passionate about nutrition. She took the time to understand my individual needs and concerns and developed a personalised plan that was easy to follow. She was always available to answer my questions and provide support along the way. I highly recommend Sylvia to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and caring dietician
My significant other and I were struggling with our nutrition, we wanted to change our lifestyle so we can one day run around with our future children. One day we done a google search and Sylvia popped up I was skeptical at first because I had never opened up to a complete stranger about my struggles with food but Sylvia was absolutely amazing! She listened to what we were struggling with health wise and helped us come up with tools so we could make the right decisions with our nutrition. If something wasn’t working for us she came up with a plan of something different. Because of Sylvia we now have the tools and confidence needed to make healthy choices for our bodies. Within the first two months I had gone down two dress sizes. Months later both of us are feeling healthier and have so much more energy to enjoy our life together. I can’t thank Sylvia enough. I would highly recommend getting Sylvia’s guidance if you are struggling to make the right choices with your nutrition, she will give you tools to help you in your journey to a healthier you.
Response from the owner: Thank you Stephanie. You're amazing! xx
Sylvia is amazing! She helped me so much with my diet and health generally. It’s really nice to work with a young health professional who is sympathetic, knowledgeable and on the pulse of research.

Sylvia was recommended to me by a friend to help me overcome my Diverticulitis. My condition was further complicated and compounded because of the cancer medication I am taking. Sylvia was able to take all the variables into account and through a combination of diet change and supplement use I am happy to report a marked improvement in my general wellbeing and health outcomes. Sylvia is a lovely person as well as a fantastic communicator. It is also very evident that Sylvia cares deeply about her clients and has continued to remain available for any follow up questions that I may have. I have no hesitation in recommending Sylvia to anyone requiring dietary advice. Thank you Sylvia for all you have done. Stay well.
Fantastic, professional and very helpful. Highly recommended ❤

I have consulted with many other health care professionals over my PCOS symptoms and I feel like Sylvia’s advice has helped me make the biggest difference. I am very grateful to have found a fantastic dietician!

Sylvia has been instrumental in helping me with my diverticular disease. Diet change wasnt anything major and that combined with the supplements Sylvia recommended, her advice and amazing support, has helped me get the correct balance. Sylvia is so easy to talk to and such a lovely person.
