Susie Burrell

Susie is one of Australia's most respected dietitians and is able to develop and deliver a range of individually targeted presentations for corporations. With her background in both nutrition and psychology, Susie is able to speak on a wide range of topics including fat loss, positive psychology, behavioural change coaching, health and nutrition and wellbeing.

Susie completed both her dietetics and psychology degrees at Wollongong University; her Honours Project investigating the relationship between childhood obesity and parenting styles. Since graduating, Susie has held the position of specialist Weight Management Dietitian at The Children's Hospital at Westmead in which she develops and evaluates programs aimed at managing and preventing child and adolescent obesity.

In her private work Susie specialises in fat loss and sees clients each week in her private rooms at Kogarah in Sydney's south. Susie balances this clinical work with consulting to key food industry groups; groups who have the ability to positively influence the food supply with her primary love, writing for both print and electronic media.

Susie currently has a weekly column in The Daily Telegraph's Simply Food lift out as well as columns in Good Health & Medicine, ALPHA and Dolly magazine. Susie is also a regular guest on FRESH television and The Today Show.
In a past life, Susie was a prominent sports dietitian and has consulted to a number of elite sporting teams including the Super 14 winning 2007 South African Blue Bulls, St George Illawarra Dragons and Sydney University Rugby. Susie is currently consulting to the Parramatta Eels to maintain her sports nutrition skills.

Susie offers a range of consulting services to meet the needs of busy professionals and their children. Susie understands that while good quality food nurtures optimally functioning bodies; the vast majority of people need their nutrition and fitness advice to be delivered via a supportive nutrition program that fits each person's lifestyle. Susie draws on coaching psychology models to ensure that health and nutrition changes are self directed and do-able, to ensure each persons' health and lifestyle goals are met long term. Nutrition coaching may be done through individual consultations, email or via the phone to ensure each person meets their targets.

In her spare time, Susie loves to escape the rush of Sydney to run around Wollongong's beautiful beaches, spend time with her beloved Burmese cats Henry and Charlie, indulge in watching tacky American TV series and reading anything she can get her hands on.

Susie's keynote presentations range from 30 to 90 minutes.
