Hi, I’m Andrea Barcellona – Dietitian, Nutritionist, and founder of Bontá Group Dietitian.
Living with Coeliac Disease myself, I understand first-hand the daily challenges it can bring. This personal experience, together with years of professional practice, allows me to provide empathetic, practical, and evidence-based support to a wide range of clients.
I specialise in:
- Coeliac Disease & gluten free nutrition – helping you feel confident, nourished, and empowered while navigating daily life, dining out, or shared spaces.
- Healthy ageing & aged care nutrition – supporting older adults at home through My Aged Care packages, preventing malnutrition, and improving quality of life.
- Aged care facilities – menu development, auditing, and guidance to meet Aged Care Quality Standard 6 compliance while enhancing mealtime satisfaction.
- Diabetes management – from prediabetes and type 2 to gestational diabetes, helping clients understand food’s role in blood glucose control, complication prevention, and long-term health.
At Bontá—meaning goodness and wellness in Italian—my mission is to help you thrive, not just survive. Whether it’s building nourishing meals, managing a chronic condition, or supporting independence in later life, I’m here to make nutrition simple, enjoyable, and a tool for lifelong wellbeing.
✨ Let’s work together to support your health, confidence, and joy through food.
