My journey to becoming a Clinical Nutritionist began with my own unexpected health crisis. Like many Melbournians, I once saw food simply as sustenance and enjoyment – something to experience in our city's vibrant dining scene. That perspective transformed dramatically when I began experiencing severe health issues more than a decade ago. What started as mild food intolerances soon escalated into debilitating symptoms. I found myself severely malnourished, spending countless nights in emergency departments and consulting numerous specialists. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, I could only find temporary relief before symptoms returned, often more intensely than before. The turning point in my health journey came when I discovered the crucial role of gut health in overall wellness. What I learned – and later confirmed through my clinical nutrition studies – was profound: the answer to my health challenges wasn't in medication, but in food itself. This realisation not only transformed my health but also ignited my passion for nutritional science, leading me to pursue and complete my Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition). Today, as a qualified Clinical Nutritionist and EFT Practitioner, I combine my personal experience with evidence-based practice to provide truly holistic healing support. My expertise extends to the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) Nutritional Protocol, while my EFT tapping work helps clients release emotional blocks that often stand in the way of their healing journey. I believe that true healing requires addressing both physical and emotional well-being. When you provide your body with the right nutritional support and release emotional barriers through EFT tapping, it has an incredible ability to heal and flourish. My journey from patient to practitioner gives me a unique perspective – I understand both the science behind nutritional therapy and the emotional challenges that often accompany health transitions. Your body has the natural intelligence to heal itself when given the right tools, both nutritional and emotional. Through proper nutrition, EFT tapping, and expert guidance, you can take control of your health and begin your healing journey from the inside out. As your Clinical Nutritionist and EFT Practitioner, I'm here to provide the expertise, support, and encouragement you need to achieve optimal wellness. Ready to Start Your Healing Journey?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), commonly known as tapping, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive therapy with acupressure points. Often described as "psychological acupressure," EFT involves gently tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on emotional or physical concerns. Your emotional wellbeing is intrinsically linked to your physical health. While nutrition plays a vital role in healing, sometimes our journey to optimal health requires us to look deeper into our emotional landscape. Past experiences, stored memories, or unresolved trauma can significantly impact our overall wellbeing, influencing everything from our stress responses to our healing capacity. Often, we carry core beliefs that unconsciously shape our behaviors and choices, potentially creating barriers to achieving our health goals. EFT tapping offers a gentle yet powerful approach to addressing these emotional aspects of health. Whether you're experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, procrastination, or self-sabotaging behaviors, EFT tapping provides practical tools for emotional healing. This evidence-based technique is non-invasive and remarkably effective, offering both in-session breakthroughs and valuable self-help strategies you can use between consultations to support your ongoing wellness journey.

The GAPS (Gut and Psychology/Physiology Syndrome) Nutritional Protocol is a comprehensive healing program designed to restore the integrity of your gut, improve digestive health, and enhance overall wellbeing. Developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, this protocol is based on the understanding that our gut health is intrinsically linked to our physical, mental, and emotional wellness. The GAPS Protocol recognises that an unhealthy gut can lead to various physical and mental health conditions. When our digestive system is compromised, it can: • Compromise our gut barrier function, leading to increased intestinal permeability • Contribute to nutritional deficiencies • Affect our immune system • Impact our mental health and cognitive function • Influence our overall well-being https://www.abbykunendra.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-04-11 https://www.abbykunendra.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-25anc monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.abbykunendra.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-jbkez monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.abbykunendra.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-fbrtx monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
