Hi, I’m Ingrid Currington.
I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician with over 20 years’ experience working across a range of healthcare settings.
I specialise in supporting adolescents and adults navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic gut symptoms, and persistent pelvic pain.
As a dietitian, I see my role as a compassionate listener and guide – helping you to make sense of your experiences around food, symptoms, and your body, and supporting you to find a way of eating that feels nourishing and enjoyable.
My work history
I was the senior dietitian in the Persistent Pelvic Pain Clinic at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne from 2018 to 2026.
Prior to specialising in pelvic pain, I worked in the gynaecology and gynaecology-oncology inpatient services at the Women’s (2013 - 2018), supporting people to meet their nutritional needs whilst recovering from surgeries for endometriosis and gynaecological cancer.
I have also worked at a specialist outpatient eating disorders treatment clinic in Melbourne, working closely with psychology colleagues to support individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating in their recovery.
I have undertaken extensive additional training in eating disorders, body image work, Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBIs), and the science of pelvic pain and chronic pain conditions. I also engage in ongoing clinical supervision to ensure I continue to practice safely, ethically, and within my scope of practice as a dietitian.
I understand how overwhelming it can be to feel like you are in conflict with your own body.
My aim is to support you build a more peaceful and compassionate relationship with food and your body.
