Lauren Carmichael, APD

Hi there, my name is Lauren and I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian and a member of the Dietitians Association of Australia. I have worked as a dietitian within private practices, research and in the public hospital system.

I am born and bred from Victoria completing my tertiary education in Melbourne. I have since trekked up to the NT after making Darwin my home in 2021. I have a big interest in mental health and disordered eating, however I hold an interest in various other areas of health in which I adopt a weight neutral lens. As a health professional I can respect that our health encompasses a myriad of things and because of this I am passionate about ensuring my practice is holistic and individualised while creating a safe and inclusive space for all bodies.
