Meet the founder of The Digestion Co.
Michelle is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Sports Dietitian who lives in Perth, Western Australia.
Michelle’s experience of living with coeliac disease allows her to understand the frustrations, overwhelm and isolation that can be experienced by someone with a gastrointestinal condition. For this reason, The Digestion Co. was created so that people like you can feel more confident and take back control of their gut health. Michelle brings a unique lived experience to her approach. She delivers empathetic, practical and judgement-free support to all of her clients.
When Michelle isn’t in clinic helping The Digestion Co. community, she can be found at a local fun run or with her labradoodle, Donny.
The Digestion Co. is a virtual clinic.
We help people from all over Australia.
