  • Clinic provides a client-centred nutrition service using an inter-disciplinary and holistic approach, offering individuals educational, motivational and recovery management tools based on treatment comprised of psychological, medical, nutritional, cultural, social and philosophical guidance.
  • Clinic aims to create a supportive and safe environment enabling clients and their families to empower themselves, thus facilitating a healing process in which clients make their own decisions regarding 'recovery' and weight management.
  • Clinic is fully aware that weight issues, eating disorders and eating problems are complex and multifactorial and they occur in a social and political climate that fosters disturbed eating behaviours and destructive ideas about weight and shape. Since there is not one cause, each treatment plan at CAKE™ Clinic is tailored to the individual's unique needs for psychological, medical, nutritional, cultural, social and philosophical treatment and guidance.
  • Clinic acknowledges that recovery and weight management can be a long process and can occur in stages. All clients and their families attending CAKE™ Clinic will be supported throughout their individual and unique care and nutrition plan in the most preferred and convenient fashion.
  • Clinic will focus on prevention, awareness and education by providing presentations and workshops and training at universities, colleges and other interested organisations and to provide educational resources about weight management and eating disorders to all professionals such as GPs, practice nurses, school nurses and teachers.
  • Clinic believes that treatment should be offered in the least intrusive way in a compassionate, confidential and caring environment. To recover does not necessarily imply to cure - it can be helping people achieve a way of life compatible with their individual aspirations and to restore their freedom to make food choices even in the presence of continuing disease.
