Compassionate
nutrition for your digestive health
Welcome
I’m so glad you’re here.
As your digestive health dietitian, I'm all about helping you understand and manage your digestive health in an empowering and sustainable way. I'm here to give you the nutrition tools to thrive so that you don't have to feel overwhelmed and overrun by your symptoms.
With a trauma-informed, holistic approach, I recognise that everyone’s health journey is deeply personal—there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I work with you, your goals, and truly listen to what you need.
Ready to get that good gut feeling?

My Approach
Hi! I'm Karla Leoncini, your digestive health dietitian!
I'm a Brisbane-based Accredited Practising Dietitian specialising in digestive health and nutrition for endometriosis.
My approach integrates evidence-based nutrition with a deep understanding of how your digestive health affects your overall wellbeing. Whether you're dealing with bloating, abdominal pain, or conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), constipation or coeliac disease, I offer personalised nutrition strategies to help you manage your symptoms and improve your digestive health.
My work is grounded in compassion, and a deep respect for your lived experiences. I am committed to creating a space of inclusive, non-judgemental care where your unique needs are honoured. I take a weight-neutral approach, meaning I focus on your overall wellbeing rather than a number on the scale. Together, we’ll nourish your body in a way that respects its individuality, supports your emotional and physical health, and rejects the pressures of restrictive diets.
