Initial consultation

75 minutes / $175.00 

A comprehensive assessment of your current state of health and wellbeing where we discuss your health history, current health complaints, symptoms, eating habits, lifestyle so we can establish realistic goals towards your better life.

As a food-focused nutritionist, I believe correct dietary practice is often the best starting point in assisting you. Supplements will only be prescribed if indicated necessary and I truly believe will help. 

Knowledge and understanding of foods that help or hinder your health whilst discovering more nutritional foods you can enjoy is my goal.

Your treatment will include 

  • Depending on symptoms and health history, you may need to undergo one or more physical examinations such as a weight measurement, body composition, fat and muscle analysis, blood pressure, zinc test, nail and tongue analysis.

  • If necessary, referrals are made to local health practitioners such as general practitioners (GPs), psychologists and psychotherapists. As well as pathology laboratories for functional testing to identify underlying causes of a condition to assist with diagnosis. Tests include saliva, hair, stool, urine, blood, hormone profile, liver profile, food intolerance, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), Complete Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA) and adrenal fatigue test.

  • If necessary, prescription of nutritional supplements (additional fees apply)

  • A comprehensive, bespoke treatment plan will be emailed within 3 business days with recommendations, referrals if applicable and a 15-minute phone follow-up consult to discuss the treatment plan. 

Follow-up review consultation

$90.00/45 minutes sessions

A follow-up consultation is important for us to review your progress with the previous treatment plan, keep you motivated, and ensure you’re on track to reach your long-term health goals. It is also the time to reassess and identify areas where you may need more attention or support, make necessary changes and answer any questions. 

Your treatment will evolve and progress with each consult, making your long-term health goal realistic and achievable.

Your treatment will include:  

•       Discuss and evaluate your progress, looking deeper into any uncovered issues.

•       Review pathology results and specialist reports and recommend other relevant diagnostic tests if necessary. 

•       All concerns or questions you have will be discussed.
