Pinky Law
Dietitian
Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), Master of Dietetics
Pinky is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Master of Dietetics graduate from Monash University, with experience across acute, subacute, outpatient, community, and private practice settings. She is passionate about helping people improve their health through practical, evidence-based nutrition that is realistic, sustainable, and tailored to each individual.
She has experience supporting clients across a range of nutritional needs, with a particular interest in healthy ageing, digestive health, chronic disease management, and sustainable weight management. Her clinical background includes working with people with complex medical conditions, as well as providing nutrition education and individualised dietary advice in community and outpatient settings.
Her approach to nutrition is personalised, practical, and non-judgemental. Rather than focusing on restrictive diets or quick fixes, she works with clients to understand their lifestyle, preferences, culture, and goals, developing achievable strategies that fit into everyday life. She believes that healthy eating should be enjoyable and sustainable, not something that feels overwhelming or restrictive.
With experience working alongside multidisciplinary healthcare teams, she values collaborative care and clear communication between clients, families, GPs, and other allied health professionals. She aims to create a comfortable, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and confident in making positive changes to their health.
Outside of work, Pinky enjoys cooking, photography, and exploring Melbourne's food scene -always on the hunt for good food and new places, whether at home or travelling.

Marny Leo
Myotherapy
Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy; Massage and Myotherapy of Australia.
Marny is a dedicated myotherapist with over 10 years of experience in the industry, committed to helping clients find lasting relief from chronic musculoskeletal discomfort and everyday physical strain. With a clinical yet compassionate approach to bodywork, Marny focuses on uncovering the root causes of pain rather than simply treating surface symptoms, creating targeted treatment plans tailored to each client's lifestyle and movement patterns.
A primary focus of Marny's practice is addressing two of the most common challenges of modern life: persistent lower back pain and stress-induced neck and shoulder tension. Long hours at a desk, postural fatigue, and the physical toll of mental stress frequently show up as restricted mobility, tight upper traps, and lumbar stiffness. Combining focused deep tissue work, myofascial release, cupping, and trigger point therapy, Marny works to release deep muscular holding patterns, decompress the spine, and restore functional range of motion.
Believing that effective, holistic bodywork treats both structure and the nervous system, Marny blends precise myotherapy techniques with a calming treatment flow. Every session is designed not only to relieve acute aches and restore mobility, but also to down-regulate the nervous system - giving the body the space it needs to reset, recover, and move without restriction.
Outside the clinic, Marny is an avid traveller who loves exploring new destinations, immersing in different cultures, and seeking out the best hidden food spots wherever their travels take them.
