Eva-Maria Heikenwalder Embrace Nutrition Nutritionist Specialist in Gut Health, Energy Nutrition and Stress Management

Hi, I’m Eva-Maria,

I’m a registered Nutritional Therapist (M.A., DipION, mBANT) and I’m on a mission to turn busy professionals’ frustration with food into a fascination with food.

Growing up on organic farms in Canada and Austria, tending to and preparing nourishing foods is in my blood. We had a veggie patch, a fruit orchard, and ate pickled, fermented, and probiotic foods year-round - so, good food has always been part of me. 

About Eva-Maria Heikenwalder Embrace Nutrition Nutritionist in Kew and Specialist for Gut Health Energy Nutrition and Stress Management

Whilst pursuing a career in international management, I lived and worked on three continents for over a decade. At that time, my work was my priority, so preparing a nutritious meal was often the last thing on my mind.

Like so many other busy professionals, I put my career before my health.

After pushing too hard for too long, I found myself on a downward health spiral. I was chronically fatigued, developed hormonal problems, began to gain more and more weight - and finally realised that I was racing towards a life of chronic health problems.

So I quit and went to study nutritional therapy.

I wanted to profoundly understand how nutrition and lifestyle choices can make the difference between excelling in life or ending up with chronic health issues.

Fast forward to today…

Using principles of intuitive eating and cutting edge coaching styles, I offer personalised nutrition consultations and bespoke corporate nutrition workshops in Melbourne and around the world (workshops are available in English, French and German).

Outside of my nutrition clinic, I am co-founder of Network Europe, the Australian network lead for BANT and I manage the Austrian Consulate in Melbourne. In my free time I’m an avid traveler, solo hiker, dancer, bookworm and I love trying out all the great restaurants, Melbourne has to offer!
