ABOUT ME

Hi, I‘m Erica

I’m a dietitian based in Devonport, lutruwita /Tasmania and my mission is to help people develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies.

I started my nutrition career working in private practice in 2016. Along the way, I have worked in hospitals, aged care homes, oncology, a specialist feeding clinic, and with individuals with disabilities.

I have a genuine passion for food, and I firmly believe that achieving good nutrition doesn't have to be complicated or restrictive. Whether you're looking to overcome a disordered relationship with food, navigate food intolerances, or develop a fueling strategy for your next marathon PB, I am excited to go on this journey with you.

I work with a diverse range of people, but my areas of expertise include:

~ Eating disorder/disordered eating recovery
~ Gut health and digestive disorders
~ PCOS and women’s health
~ Nutrition for neurodiverse people
~ Sports Nutrition
~ Enteral/tube feeding
~ Paediatric nutrition

I am an introvert at heart, when I am not working I enjoy drawing, walking my cat, and hiking with friends. 

If you are interested in working together, book an appointment with me below. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

MEDICARE REBATES, DVA, NDIS & THIRD-PARTY FUNDING

~ Private Health Insurance rebates are dependent on your fund and level of cover. The treatment code for an initial consultation is ‘500’ and for review appointments ‘600’. I can rebate most health fund claims on the spot using HICAPs.

~ Medicare rebates are available if you have been referred by your GP under a GP Management Plan/Team Care Arrangement using the correct Department of Health referral form. The Medicare rebate is $58.00. HICAPS claiming is also available for Medicare rebates. Erica Cunningham Nutrition is unable to bulk bill. You will be required to pay for the appointment on the day.
