Supporting every phase of health and performance through evidence-based nutrition and personalised support.
NUTRUITION - HEALTH - PERFORMANCE
The phase to perform approach
Founded on the belief that health looks different in every season of life, Phase to Perform provides evidence-based nutrition support tailored to the individual.
Our nutritional needs are not static. They change with our age, lifestyle, activity levels, health, hormones, goals and the demands placed on our bodies. What supports you through one phase may need to evolve as you move into the next.
Whether your focus is enhancing performance, supporting hormonal wellbeing, improving energy, or simply feeling your best day-to-day, Phase to Perform meets you where you are. We take the time to understand your circumstances and translate nutrition science into practical strategies that fit your real life.
There are no rigid rules, quick fixes or expectations of perfection. Instead, our goal is to help you better understand your body, feel more confident in your choices and build sustainable habits that support your health now and into the future.
Every phase has different demands. Your nutrition should evolve with you.
Hi, I’m Emma
I’m a qualified nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutrition and Exercise and the founder of Phase to Perform.
My approach to nutrition is grounded in evidence, but centred around the individual. I understand that nutrition is never one-size-fits-all—our needs are shaped by our health, lifestyle, life stage, activity levels, goals and relationship with food.
I created Phase to Perform to make nutrition feel practical, personal and easier to understand. Whether you want to improve your everyday energy, support your health, feel more confident around food, fuel an active lifestyle or prepare for competition, I’ll help you turn nutrition science into realistic strategies that work in your life.
My background in sport and coaching has given me a strong understanding of performance nutrition and the demands placed on active individuals. I’m also passionate about supporting women as their nutritional needs change and helping people build sustainable habits without unnecessary restrictions or the pressure to eat perfectly.
My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood and equipped with the knowledge to make confident decisions about your nutrition.
Whatever your starting point, Phase to Perform is about helping you move forward—one practical, sustainable change at a time.

Your Questions, Answered
A nutritionist can help you better understand your nutritional needs and develop practical strategies that support your health, lifestyle and goals.
At Phase to Perform, this may include support with everyday energy, balanced eating, meal structure, women’s nutritional needs, active lifestyles, sports performance, game-day fuelling, hydration and recovery.
If your needs require medical nutrition therapy or support outside my professional scope, I will recommend referral to an Accredited Practising Dietitian, GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.
What can a nutritionist help me with?
Your initial 60–75-minute consultation is an opportunity to discuss your health, lifestyle, current eating habits and goals. We’ll identify your priorities and develop practical, personalised strategies to help you move forward. Following the appointment, you’ll receive a written action plan outlining your recommendations and next steps.
What happens during my first consultation?
Your consultation fee includes a comprehensive assessment, personalised nutrition recommendations and a written action plan outlining your agreed priorities and next steps. It also covers the preparation and professional review completed outside your appointment.
What is included in the consultation fee?
If a structured meal plan supports your goals, this can be included in your personalised recommendations. However, not everyone needs—or wants—a prescriptive plan.
We can instead focus on practical lifestyle changes, balanced meals and nourishing whole foods that help you feel better without unnecessary restriction. The goal is to create an approach that works in your real life and is sustainable long-term—not another fad diet.
Will I receive a meal plan?
Phase to Perform offers in-person consultations in Shepparton, Echuca, Nathalia, and Southbank, Melbourne, as well as online consultations via Microsoft Teams. Choose the location or online option that best suits you when booking. Appointment availability varies by location.
Are appointments online or in person?
Some private health funds may provide rebates for consultations with a recognised nutritionist, depending on your level of cover and the fund’s eligibility requirements.
Phase to Perform is currently completing the professional registration and provider-recognition process. Please contact your health fund directly before booking to confirm whether your consultation will be eligible for a rebate.
Do you offer private health rebates?
Can you help with game-day fuelling and recovery?
Yes. Phase to Perform can help you develop a personalised strategy for the lead-up to competition, pre-game meals and snacks, hydration, fuelling during activity and post-game recovery.
Recommendations are tailored to your sport, training load, exercise intensity, competition demands, schedule, preferences and individual needs. This ensures your nutrition strategy reflects the actual demands placed on your body and is practical to follow.
What is the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian?
Both nutritionists and dietitians work with food, nutrition, and health, but their qualifications and scope of practice can differ.
A qualified nutritionist can provide evidence-based guidance to support everyday health, balanced eating, active lifestyles and sports performance. A dietitian has completed an accredited dietetics qualification and is also trained to provide medical nutrition therapy for diagnosed health conditions.
Emma holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutrition and Exercise, is currently studying towards her Master of Dietetics, and works within her professional scope as a nutritionist. Where medical nutrition therapy or more specialised clinical care is required, referral to an Accredited Practising Dietitian or another appropriate healthcare professional will be recommended.
