About
Lisa Patrick, Accredited Practising Dietitian
Welcome to Feastability!
After 14 years working as a Private Practice Dietitian throughout the Central Coast and Newcastle, I decided it was finally time to create a practice of my own, dedicated to the two areas of Dietetics that I am most passionate about - Aged Care and Disability.
Why Feastability?
Feasting isn't necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of Dietitians (except for those people who know us well). Eating, yep. Dieting, sure. Restricting, unfortunately. But feasting, surely that's the exact opposite of what Dietitians should be doing. But what comes to mind when you think of a Feast?
Abundance | Variety | Enjoyment | Family & Community | Special Occasions
All of these things contribute to the non-nutritional ways food can add to our overall health and well-being.
For a lot of people, just accessing, preparing, and safely consuming a basic, nutritionally adequate diet is enough of a challenge. With Feastability I want to make sure that all members of our community can easily and safely access the support and food they need to meet their basic needs. But this shouldn't be where the journey ends. Everyone deserves to strive for more than that, which is why I aim, not just for healthy eating, but for healthy feasting
