One story, not two
Made for the way your brain actually works.
If you’re neurodivergent, eating and the brain are often the same story: interoception that runs quiet, sensory needs and safe foods, an appetite that vanishes on stimulant meds and arrives all at once after dark. We work right where ADHD, autism and AuDHD meet disordered eating, ARFID and body image: the place other services tend to split apart.
The overlap, held in one room.
Support for children, adolescents and adults, with family-aware care where it helps, wherever ADHD, autism and eating meet.
Autism, ARFID & food

Meet Lauren
Both sides of the chair.
Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician, and I’m ADHD myself, so I know how food, focus and the body tangle together from the inside. I’m serious about the clinical work, and warm about the human side of it.
