Accredited Practising Dietician and the founder of Body Fusion, Mia Ballenden specialises in advising dancers and performers. A career as a professional ballet dancer in Europe and a lifetime’s enjoyment of food has formed the basis of Mia’s dietetics career.
Mia completed her Bachelor of Science (Nutrition) and went onto complete first class Honours in dietetics from The University of Sydney. In addition to this Mia holds her Certificate 3 in Gym Instruction, her Associate in Classical Ballet and is a qualified Pilates instructor.
Today, Mia continues to develop her skills with particular interest in weight management, sports dietetics, diabetes, eating disorders and working with dancers.
Mia’s interest in working with dancers had lead to her delivering lectures to dance schools on the “Nutrition edge”, writing and consulting to many professional and pre-professional dancers.
