A long appointment to support your symptoms is a gift to yourself to ensure you are supporting your health concerns so that they are not only managed, but improved.

…then this consultation is for you. I can help!

There is such an incredible amount of advice on the internet, on television, in magazines and on social media, but none of this advice caters to your individual, specific needs. Everyone reacts differently to the food they eat and the times of day in which they eat it.

I use evidence based research to create helpful tools to help you reach your goals. I will help you to understand how your system is reacting to foods and how to make nutrients bioavailable for your body to use, repair and prevent.

• Prior to appointment questionnaire.
• Please allow 90 minutes plus follow up appointment as necessary ($55).
• Assessment of current state of health, including current medication and health history and symptoms.

Find My Happy Weight Consultation

I have spoken many times about why diets don’t work and I am absolutely ‘ anti-diet ‘. However, that does not mean we can eat whatever we want whenever we want. Over the course of our life, we have a ‘number’ that is our set point weight. We can move from this set point 2-3 kg either side for various reasons e.g. stress, a holiday, an injury, winter – there’s many reasons. Our body is smart enough to get us back to our set point over time. It’s when we put on a sneaky few kgs each year and struggle to lose it or lose a fair bit for no apparent reason and struggle to gain it back that it can become a health problem. Not only can this affect our self esteem and relationships, it can correlate with high cholesterol, gall stones, gastro distress, systematic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, joint problems, stress fractures, this list is long.  

What to expect from your appointments:

• Prior to appointment questionnaire.
• Please allow 90 minutes for first appointment plus follow up appointment of 45 minutes spaced apart as necessary.
• Assessment of current state of health, including current medication and health history.
• Detailed assessment of systematic health, gastrointestinal health, nervous system, immune system, endocrine health, lifestyle and stress.
• Short and long term goal setting to incorporate change that is achievable at your level.
• Thorough analysis of current diet and explanations on improvement and ‘why’.
• Optional measurement for your accountability IF you choose and are comfortable.
• Discussion on the factors that could be affecting your weight and food choices.
• Food plans with gradual steps to reach your goal respecting budget, lifestyle factors and time, cooking skills etc. Options for ongoing food plans structured to reach your goal.
• Personal support and access to recipes suitable to your needs.
• Confidence that you can eat this way for life and happily reach your goal.

At Your Home Consultation

A unique experience in that real life is incorporated into your health change.

This can be a single or family appointment where you firstly learn the foods that will help you reach your health goals with consideration to the health concerns you have. For example, you may have decided to or have a need to eat vegetarian or gluten free and need some help in this change.

After a thorough pre-visit questionnaire and video call, I will visit you to ensure healthy change by helping you to improve your kitchen, fridge and pantry.

Together we will then cook recipes off your food plans and learn ways to make the household run more smoothly in regards to food and it’s preparation, whilst considering time constraints, budget for shopping, cooking skills and appliances. If the children are home, they too can learn to make things that they like to eat to support their growth and needs also.

What to expect:

• Video call appointment to discuss concerns, goals, current state of health, combination of food preferences of family members.
• Food plan to suit needs.
• Home visit with fridge and pantry tidy and sort with education on product and a “ good, better, best “ approach.

Intuitive Eating Consultation

• Are you sick of dieting?
• Do you find that you’re an emotional eater or a person who has a lot of rules around their food and then ‘falls off the wagon’ and begins to binge eat?
• Do you find yourself worrying about your daughter or son and their approach to body image and control of the food they eat or don’t eat?

…then this consultation is for you!

Statistics provide numbers that are not realistic in this regard as not all of us admit we eat like this. It is much more normal than you think. However, the fact is, for these people, we want it to end. These clients say to me that they are preoccupied with food, that it consumes their spare time. They say they criticise their bodies and cancel social plans to avoid eating or having to choose what to eat. They say they have a desire to experience freedom and wish to find flexibility with eating.

This is a journey worth taking…a relearning of trust and listening to your body. Learning when to eat, what to eat for satiety and when to stop eating. To learn the intelligence of our amazing body.

We are born as intuitive eaters, but our culture has sent us messages that we have adapted as habits. This consultation will help you learn to have a peaceful relationship with your body.

What to expect from your appointments

• Prior to appointment questionnaire.
• Please allow 60 minutes for first appointment plus follow ups.
• Assessment of current state of health, including current medication and health history and symptoms.
• Understanding your body image.
• Exploring your barriers.
• Discussion of history of relationship with food and factors inhibiting intuitive eating.
• Learning to discover your ‘fullness’.
• Exercises and strategies to integrate instinct, emotion and rational thought in food choices.
• Detailed assessment of systematic health, gastrointestinal health, nervous system, immune system, endocrine health, lifestyle and stress as necessary.
• Short and long term goal setting to incorporate change that is achievable at your level.
