Dietitian Services
Expert nutrition support, built around you.
I'm Riley Macela, a dietitian in Cairns. Whether you just need a plan, support for a specific health concern, or care through a GP referral, I'll help you find the right starting point. In person or online.
Who I work with
I work with everyday people who want to eat better and feel better, and with people managing a health condition who need proper, evidence-based support. If you've had advice that didn't fit your life, or a plan that fell apart the moment things got busy, you're in the right place.
- Adults who want a clear, personalised plan they can actually follow
- People managing a nutrition-related condition or specific health goal
- Clients referred by their GP or specialist for chronic disease support
Qualified, evidence-based, and on your team
A dietitian is a university-qualified nutrition professional. I use evidence, not trends, and I work alongside your GP or specialist when that's part of the picture. You get advice that's genuinely tailored to you, and safe for your situation.

Why not just use an app or an AI meal plan?
Generic tools give generic answers. They don't know your health history, your routine, or the reason the last three approaches didn't stick. I can see what's actually going on, adjust in real time, and make sure the advice is safe for your situation. That's not something you can prompt your way into.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book the Personalised Nutrition Plan or Clinical Nutrition Support Package directly. If your GP has referred you, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates.
In person or online?
Both. See me in person in Cairns or by video/phone call anywhere in Australia.
What happens on the first call?
It's a free, no-pressure chat about where you're at and what you've tried. You'll leave knowing the right option for you, even if that's not working with me.
Is my information private?
Yes. Everything you share is confidential and handled with care.
