Caitlyn Ribbons
Perth Accredited Practising Dietitian
Specialising in gut health, women's health, weight management, disordered eating & sports nutrition — Claremont, Perth
ACCREDITED PRACTISING DIETITIAN (APD) | GUT HEALTH & WOMEN'S HEALTH SPECIALIST | PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Caitlyn Ribbons is an Accredited Practising Dietitian based in Claremont, Perth, with a warm, evidence-based approach to helping clients build a genuinely balanced and sustainable relationship with food. She consults from the Nutrition Nation clinic at PROmotion Health and specialises in gut health, women's health, weight management, disordered eating, and sports nutrition — making her one of Perth's most versatile women's health dietitians.
Caitlyn's philosophy is simple: food should be both nourishing and enjoyable. She works with clients to find practical, realistic approaches to eating that align with their health goals and their lifestyle — without restriction, guilt, or one-size-fits-all meal plans.
Gut health is one of Caitlyn's core areas of expertise, and it's easy to see why — the gut underpins so much of overall health, from energy and mood to immunity and hormonal balance. For clients struggling with bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhoea, food intolerances, or unpredictable gut symptoms, Caitlyn takes a thorough and methodical approach to identifying triggers and building a long-term management plan.
This includes guided low FODMAP dietary trials for IBS, assessment of gut microbiome health through dietary diversity, and practical strategies for reintroducing foods and expanding variety without triggering symptoms. For women whose gut symptoms are connected to conditions like endometriosis or PCOS — where the overlap with IBS is well documented — Caitlyn's dual expertise in gut health and women's health means she can address both dimensions of a client's experience simultaneously.

"Whether you’re aiming to improve your relationship with food, navigate a chronic disease, support your fertility journey, or optimise your performance, I'm here to guide you with practical, compassionate advice"
Women's health is close to Caitlyn's heart. She works with women across a broad range of concerns — from fertility and hormonal health, to weight management, to the more emotionally complex territory of disordered eating and difficult relationships with food and body image.
In the disordered eating space in particular, Caitlyn's compassionate, non-judgmental approach is a genuine point of difference. She understands that for many clients, eating is never purely a nutritional issue — it is bound up with identity, emotion, control, and self-worth. Her goal is never to add another layer of rules or restriction, but to help clients develop a way of eating that feels freeing, sustainable, and genuinely theirs.
Caitlyn consults from the Nutrition Nation clinic at PROmotion Health, 9 Leura Avenue, Claremont WA 6010 — opposite the Claremont train station and easily accessible from Nedlands, Subiaco, Cottesloe, Swanbourne, Dalkeith, Mosman Park, Shenton Park, and across Perth's western suburbs.
