Hello and welcome. I am Sharon Jenner, accredited Nutritionist and owner of Intrinsic Nutrition.
I hold a deep passion for helping people achieve their health goals through food and nutrition. I believe that we all genuinely desire to live in a supreme state of wellness, but we sometimes need support, tools and encouragement to identify and remove our unique barriers to achieving this goal. I thrive on opportunities to navigate this process with clients – helping them get excited about nutritious eating to develop long-term habits – through dedicated and meaningful partnership.
My holistic approach is informed by qualifications spanning nutritional medicine, psychology, fitness and public health promotion. Understanding the profound effect that our dietary habits have on our psychological wellbeing, I have a special interest in guiding clients through a nutritional approach to support positive mental health, particularly as part of a holistic process to addressing stress, anxiety and depression.
Nutrition is my second-round career so I understand the challenges of trying to be healthy as a non-health professional. Following over a decade in Human Resources and a few years living abroad, I returned to full-time study to follow my passion for health and nutrition in 2014, later also completing a postgraduate in health promotion. Through my work in preventative wellness, I find great joy in supporting people to develop a deeper understanding of their own wellbeing and adopt evidence-based, though individualised, approaches to improving it.
A great believer that we are whole humans who exist outside our career, some of my favourite recreational activities include dance, fitness, cooking and podcasts. I am the proud fur mother of an elderly squishy-faced rescue cat who dramatically enhances my own wellbeing daily, and you can often find me strolling around my leafy Melbourne suburb with my (human) partner enjoying the fresh air.
If my approach sounds like the support you are looking for, I would love to hear from you.
Sentiments from my clients
Sentiments from my clients
"I started seeing Sharon a little over a month ago. Prior to seeing Sharon I was very malnourished, no energy, always tired and experience some severe stomach pains. It's safe for me to say that Sharon is the only practitioner that showed empathy, tailored her service to suit me and my needs and who's methods actually worked. I feel 100 times better. Energy has improved immensely, I have a great nutrition plan full of foods I love and the pain is improving each week. I hardly have any stomach pain now!
I cannot recommend Intrinsic Nutrition enough. Worth every penny, and for me, a life saver. Looking forward to continuing my journey!"

"I've always found it difficult to stick with healthy habits for long periods of time and excuses definitely come easier than answers! I am two sessions in at Intrinsic Nutrition and not only do I feel better informed about my body, diet and health habits, but I have a tailored plan that is directly addressing issues I've been dealing with for years. In just under a month, I'm already off heartburn meds and have a noticeable change in my energy levels. Sharon has a wonderful way of guiding and motivating that really sticks, and I after seeing the results I've achieved in such a short time, I'm looking forward to continuing with some of her FLOURISH coaching sessions to continue to stay connected to positive health outcomes I can stick with. Highly recommended!"

"Sharon not only has a wealth of a knowledge regarding nutrition but an expansive grasp on general health and well being conditions. This makes her confident in her ability to tailor her suggestions and nutrition plans to suit your individual needs. It is obvious when speaking with Sharon that she is passionate about how nutrition supports a holistic healthy lifestyle and the physical, emotional and psychological implications of this."

"My session with Sharon was very focused and productive. The pre-appointment form and questionnaire gave Sharon the opportunity to prepare some responses, and she was able to delve more deeply into my issues than a first meeting would normally allow. I finished the meeting feeling very positive that I will achieve my objectives. I felt comfortable discussing my health concerns and aims with Sharon. She is very approachable and non-judgemental and gave me some great advice, along with some follow-up activities that will be valuable for our next meeting. I'm confident we will work well together."
