Overview

Take control of your health, with evidence-based education and tools so that you can up-level your personal health journey and become your most impactful health advocate.

As a Certified Practicing Nutritionist I am here to provide advice and treatment, utilising dietary and lifestyle modifications. I can also prescribe nutrients and order functional testing as required. I work with patients for preventative health purposes and can also assist in complex nutritional medicine cases. No matter where you are in your health journey, I am here to support you.

APPOINTMENT TYPES.

- New Client? Book an 'Initial Consultation'.

- Existing Client? Book a 'Short' consultation if you need your script refilled or if it's time for a check-in. If you have new health concerns / goals / pathology results to discuss, or would like more time to review your case, please book a 'Long' consultation.

- Meal Planning Service. This service is available to EXISTING clients only. The consultation includes a 15 minute review to determine your dietary requirements / cooking abilities / access to facilities so that I can provide you with a personalised, actionable meal plan to suit your needs. As part of this service, you will receive a 7 day meal plan (breakfast, lunch, dinner, 2 x snacks), with a minimum of 20 recipes / meal ideas in PDF format. The plan will be sent to your email address within 2 business days after our appointment.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT.

- Have a think about the top 1-3 symptoms / health issues that you are currently experiencing. We will prioritise these during your appointment.

- Be sure to fill out the form linked to your scheduled appointment (this will pop up at the time of booking).

- Upload any recent pathology, test results, etc that you would like me to review during your appointment.

- Get clear on your goals, values and available resources (think - time, money, headspace). The treatment plan that I will develop for you is highly personalised and it is important that we work together on a plan that is achievable and relevant to you and your needs.

YOUR APPOINTMENT.

- Aim to arrive at your appointment a few minutes prior to our scheduled meeting time (NOTE: I am currently available via telehealth, and can see patients Australia wide).

- Your comprehensive health assessment will include a review of diagnosed medical conditions, recent pathology results, current symptoms, medications/supplements, medical history, diet and lifestyle review, a detailed body systems review as well as a physical evaluation.

- I am trained to look at your health holistically, in order to help address the root cause of your health complaints AND / OR help you address your health goals. Think of me as your partner in health!

YOUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING IS A PRIORITY THROUGHOUT OUR TIME TOGETHER.

- Everything that we discuss during our time together is confidential, and all information that you share / notes that I take, are kept on HealthBank's secure, cloud server.

- If required / requested, I can provide referrals and welcome the opportunity to work with your wider health team to ensure your continuity of care.

- I am available via email, in between appointments should you wish to clarify ANY details of your prescription ([email protected])

During our initial consultation it will become clear as to the level of support you require and the ideal timeframe to check back in again. Generally, a follow- up appointment is recommended to take place 2-4 weeks after your initial consultation. Thereafter every 4-6 weeks, or as required.
