  • How we can be thoughtful about integrating social justice ideas into our content creation.

    More about Kirsten: Fi to input

    Kirsten is a wearer of many hats.

    Anti diet dietitian. Anti diet content marketer. Digital projects manager for an eating disorder organisation.

    What ties all of these roles together is her deep sense of purpose to bring down diet culture and help folks heal their relationship with food and body.

     Kirsten’s anti diet work started during her dietetics studies (2015-2019) and as a former journalist and with a 15+ year career in marketing and communications, Kirsten used her writing background to gain work experience creating content for several Non Diet Dietitians in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.  Regardless of which hat Kirsten is wearing, she is determined to make a meaningful contribution towards dismantling diet culture and creating connected, inclusive communities.
