Making dietary and lifestyle changes are rarely a quick fix, but this depends on what you have come to see me for. Some menstrual conditions can take up to 3 months to see improvements due to the nature of follicle development, others such a sleep or nervous system support may yield quicker results.

If you have access to your recent blood test results prior to your first appointment, it would be really helpful if you could email them to me beforehand to go over. They may be able to point me in the right direction of what is driving your health concern.

This ultimately depends on why you have come to see us. It is generally recommended that you have at least 2-3 consults, in order to make changes to your treatment plan as necessary and help keep you accountable so you see some improvements!

No, any supplements recommended for you will be an additional cost, however, we can work within your budget and focus on a food first approach. Supplements are not always needed!

As a Clinical Nutritionist, I am interested in how I can improve your macronutrient (energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat and fibre) and micronutrient (vitamins, minerals) intake, identify any nutritional deficiencies using pathology, get a comprehensive understanding of your signs and symptoms and provide you with a personalised nutrition and supplement prescription, along with lifestyle changes such as improving sleep and reducing stress.
I do not utilise herbal tonics as a naturopath does, however many conditions can be drastically improved by making simple diet and lifestyle changes.
