Clinical nutritionist standing outdoors in front of a bush with dense leaves.

Hi, I’m Ilona, the founder of Elements Clinical Nutrition. My journey into clinical nutrition started from a deep desire to help others achieve better health through holistic, evidence-based approaches. I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition) with distinction, and as a proud member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA), I’m committed to providing personalised care that blends the best of science and traditional wisdom. To broaden the scope of care and support offered to my clients I am currently studying naturopathy and will be qualified mid-2027.

I specialise in women’s health, natal health, and gut microbiome function I tailor every treatment to the individual, recognising that each person’s needs are unique. My approach integrates scientific knowledge, and traditional food wisdom, to restore balance and empower my clients. Whether it’s navigating hormonal imbalances, supporting fertility, or improving digestive health, I’m here to help you take control of your well-being.

At Elements, I focus on creating a warm, supportive environment where education and respect are at the forefront. I’m passionate about giving you the tools to understand your body and make lasting changes. I look forward to working with you and supporting your journey to better health.

What is a Clinical Nutritionist?

A clinical nutritionist requires a bachelor’s degree that integrates learnings of the foundations of health science (anatomy, physiology, pharmacology), nutrition-specific knowledge (chemistry, nutritional biochemistry), clinical skills, professional and ethical practice, to specialised areas such as mental health to sports nutrition. Alongside learning about the human body in both health and disease, clinical nutrition offers a holistic path to wellness, grounded in the belief that the body possesses an innate capacity for self-healing.

  • I worked with Ilona over a few months while she was working in Endeavour's student clinic and finishing her degree. She was very knowledgeable and worked with me to address multiple concerns, the main one being long term skin reactions. Through the in-depth discussions and test results she identified SIBO which we worked on in addition to my IBS symptoms through the use of targeted probiotics and supplements. I used to be constrained to a very restricted diet but through working with Ilona I have made considerable progress and can now eat most vegetables and spices and a more diverse diet which is in turn helping my microbiome further. It has been a game changer for me to be able to experience foods that I love again without skin reactions, and be able to have a social life and eat out again. Working with Ilona has improved my quality of life and I can't thank her enough, I would recommend her to anyone seeking support and guidance in regards to nutrition/health concerns.

  • "Ilona is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and truly listens to you. I saw her for hormone imbalances and stress, and she quickly understood what was going on for me. Through her thoughtful approach using food as medicine, interpreting my test results and supplementation I am now ovulating again and my cycles have gone back to 29 days. She has also given me tools to reduce stress which I implement into my daily routine. I’m so grateful for her support and highly recommend her for your health needs."
