Your Path to Peak Performance & Lasting Health

About Me

Hi, I’m Danielle De Francesco—an Accredited Practising Dietitian and lifelong athlete. I hold a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics from Griffith University (2019), and I bring over a decade of elite sport experience to my practice, having represented Australia in four Open-Water Swimming World Championships and competed professionally in triathlon and road cycling.

My athletic journey began at 14 in athletics and triathlon before I moved into open-water swimming, finishing 8th in the 5 km at the 2011 World Championships. I then transitioned back to triathlon—racing Super League events—before discovering my passion for road cycling. I’ve ridden with Specialized Women’s Racing, ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast, and now Arkéa-B&B Hotels Pro Cycling Team (2023–2025). Highlights include a solo victory at the 2021 Tour de Brisbane, a podium at the 2022 Oceania Road Championships, and top-five finishes at the 2023 Tour Down Under and Tour de France Femmes.

As a dietitian, I specialize in endurance sports nutrition, female athlete fueling, and injury-recovery support. My own experiences as an elite swimmer, triathlete, and cyclist give me first-hand insight into what athletes need to perform and recover at their best.

I’m passionate about translating the latest science into practical, personalized nutrition plans—because I know from experience that the right fueling strategy can make all the difference. Let’s work together to optimize your performance, health, and well-being.
