1:1 Nutrition Consultations
As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I help you optimise your health and manage conditions with a personally tailored nutrition plan. At your Initial Appointment we will set goals for you to work towards which will require behavioural change.
Behavioural change is not a linear process - along the way there will be road blocks which sometimes makes us feel an array of emotions. But, we can learn SO much from these “road blocks” and they ultimately help you move forward! It is often the case that multiple Review Sessions for sustainable change are required.
Are you ready to upgrade your health? - Book an Initial Appointment below.
Initial Appointment
Review Sessions
We begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history, blood/other test results, a dietary analysis and lifestyle patterns.
Realistic goals are developed with practical strategies for your short and long-term success. Nutrition counselling and education will form part of your therapy.
I will provide you with an individually tailored nutrition plan. You will also receive resources and materials to help make your progress easier.
Ongoing support to review your progress and challenges.
Further nutrition education and counselling will be implemented along with additional strategies to learn lifelong tools to maintain a nutritious lifestyle.
This process will lead you to better understand your relationship with diet and nutrition for your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Medicare
Medicare rebates are available when referred by your GP under a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan. Talk with your GP to see if you meet the criteria and are eligible.
Under a Medicare EPC plan you may be entitled for a rebate for up to five services per calendar year with a dietitian. The current Medicare rebate per service is $58.
Speak to your GP about getting an EPC plan.
DVA
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) gold card holders are bulk billed. If you are a DVA gold card holder, please visit your GP for a referral under DVA before your consultation.
Private health
Your private health insurance may provide a rebate for dietetic services. You will need to check with your provider to determine if this is included in your cover and how much you will receive back per service.
After you have paid for your dietetic consultation, you will receive an invoice which you can use to make your claim.
How many sessions will I need?
Depending on your individual circumstances and nutrition health goals, the number of sessions you need will differ from the next person.
On average, I find that most of my clients like to see me weekly to fortnightly for the first few sessions. Then, fortnightly to monthly to drive long-term success.
Behavioural change takes time to see long lasting results.

How do virtual/telehealth appointments work?
Upon booking - you will receive a confirmation email detailing your appointment time, unique Zoom link and pre-appointment information to prepare you for your session.
In your confirmation email - you will also receive instructions on keeping a food diary for three days prior to your appointment. This will help me to understand your current dietary patterns and how it impacts you. It can be a challenging task but very worthwhile in fostering change.
