Lara Nowland

Nutritionist & Dietitian

Lara is a dedicated and creative dietitian with over 14 years of experience. She provides in-person consultations for women, couples and parents with young children (up to age 3) in Adelaide and also in the Adelaide Hills. Virtual appointments are also available for those who live locally, in Australia or abroad.

She also has a library of ideas, practical tips and recipes for parents to make food preparation and feeding as easy as possible.

Her approach when working with clients is of a non-diet nature, holistic, caring and personal. Lara does not provide meal plans nor does she encourage any food restriction or diets, rather she helps clients to focus on nourishing themselves with wholesome fresh food in a way that is sustainable, enjoyable, and promotes optimal health and wellbeing. When working with parents with a child with specific nutritional needs and/or food intolerances or allergies her approach is evidence based, very personal and practical. She goes to lengths to ensure parents are well supported on an ongoing basis.

A little bit more about Lara..

• Over the past 14 years Lara has worked as a Dietitian in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne across a diverse range of settings – hospital, community and private practice, focussing mostly in the areas of women’s health and children’s nutrition.

• After moving to Melbourne in 2009, she established her private practice, providing consultations, workshops and developing recipes for a number of online women’s health platforms and food businesses. In 2019 she relocated to Adelaide (her hometown), where she now runs her private practice.

• Alongside nutrition work she has also enjoyed involvement in Farmers’ Market Management (both in Adelaide and Melbourne). The benefits of buying and eating fresh local food (wherever possible) are endless – for our community, economy, environment, health and wellbeing.

• As a lover of flowers and nature Lara also occasionally freelances as a florist. This hobby turned into a side business years ago after completing part-time study and work in the industry. Experience with flowers has enriched her knowledge and understanding of the natural world, seasonal change and the many benefits (including health benefits) of working with and being surrounded by nature. She now incorporates certain elements of floristry into her nutrition practice, retreats and workshops.
