“More than ever, women want to build a lifelong relationship with food and their body based on respect, appreciation and love…and I’m here to help.”
- Caroline Trickey Dietitian & Eating Psychology Coach
Meet Caroline
Hello! After nearly two decades of trying to “eat less and exercise more,” I ended up feeling frustrated and completely out of tune with my body.
But now, with a deep understanding of how the brain really works, I can see that the issue wasn’t me—it was the way we’re taught to approach eating. The typical advice creates stress and confusion, making it tough to build lasting habits that genuinely support health and wellbeing.
It’s been almost twenty years since I stopped dieting and relearned how to eat in a way that feels natural. Today, I enjoy food without second-guessing or obsessing. My meals are deeeliciously satisfying and I don’t overthink every bite.
Eating this way even helped me navigate menopause. I’m now in my mid-50s, my weight is steady and I feel fantastic!
I approach food with ease and joy and I’d love to show you how to experience the same freedom.
As well as my training to be a dietitian, I’ve also studied eating psychology, hypnotherapy and life coaching.
You see, most people know roughly 90% of what to do. Where they struggle is with being able to actually do it.
I know how to help with that too.
A little bit more about me…
I used to run a cafe.
When I was young and had far too much energy (in my early 20’s through to mid 30’s), I ran a very busy and successful café and catering business in Melbourne, where I was also head cook. I used this experience along with my nutrition knowledge to run healthy cooking classes in Sydney.
I stopped them when Covid occurred and instead decided to focus on a permanent weight loss solution for women that doesn’t involve dieting or deprivation. One where you work WITH rather than against your body.
And The Perfect Gauge process came about. Your body is your ultimate guide when it comes to eating. Just like a gauge on a dashboard tells you important information—like how much fuel you have—your body naturally signals hunger and fullness. You don’t need someone else telling you what to do. Your body already has the tools to guide your eating habits, helping you make decisions about when to eat, how much and what feels good. The Perfect Gauge process helps you reconnect with this wisdom.
I’m no longer running cooking classes, but you can still access a whole lot of my recipes on this website.

– checking out new restaurants with my lovely husband
– travelling overseas and immersing myself in the culture through doing cooking classes
– or enjoying a champagne (preferably French) whilst socialising with friends!
