Our Clinic
Welcome. We look forward to being partners with you at this important time. Our aim is to empower you through education, resources, and support for optimal fertility, a glowing pregnancy, and a happy and balanced first year after birth.
Our team of professionals has the expertise to support you. Lifestyle Maternity was founded by Associate Professor Shelley Wilkinson.
We offer individual appointments and self-paced online programs. These are supplemented with personalised information, resources, and activities to guide you to set goals, track your progress, and brush up on the latest nutrition information.

How it all came to be…
The idea for Lifestyle Maternity was conceived during monthly water-running sessions (read: debriefs and coffee catch ups) with long term friend and colleague, Dr Terri South. Dr Terri, a dual qualified GP and dietitian, is the Director of Lifestyle Metabolic. Dr Shelley and Dr Terri wanted to create practices that educated, supported and empowered women to better health and wellness through lifestyle change. With strongly aligned values, the sister practices prioritise evidence-based innovation with a firm focus of client-centred care.
