Casey Conroy
Holistic Dietitian, Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher
Master of Nutrition and Dietetics
Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours) Yoga Teacher 350RYT; Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher; Fertility Yoga Teacher; Certified AcroYoga® Instructor Member ACNEM, AIDNSoc, ASDAH, DAA, HAES Australia |
Casey has been an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Nutritionist since 2012, and a Yoga Teacher since 2006. Her passion is helping women to free themselves from body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and weight preoccupation. She also loves working with pregnant women, new mums and their bubs. She believes that we can learn a great deal about how to best care for ourselves from observing nature's cycles, from ancient traditions, and from listening to our bodies.
In her work she draws upon her parallel life as a yoga teacher of 10 years; her childhood growing up exploring forests, picking bush foods, watching her Chinese-Malay mum incorporate Traditional Chinese Medicine into everyday cooking and life, and exploring remote corners of Australian wilderness with her meditation-addicted dad; her past life as a veterinarian and environmental researcher; and her lived experience with and full recovery from disordered eating.
Her practise is strongly aligned with the Health at Every Size® paradigm. Her treatment draws upon additional studies in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, yoga psychology, the Non‐Diet Approach, Motivational Interviewing and Art Therapy. A passionate holistic dietitian, she has both undergraduate and postgraduate training in herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, and functional medicine. Casey loves to integrate the effective treatment of eating disorders and weight concern with counselling, evidence-based natural medicine and mind-body modalities such as yoga.
In her spare time Casey loves to write – she is a feature columnist for Living Now magazine and an avid blogger. She enjoys painting, napping (every mum's fantasy), crafting, trying not to kill plants in her gardening attempts, sageing the hell out of her home, herbal medicine, 80’s glam metal, prop-heavy yoga, campfires, travel, and exploring forest trails with her family.
