Consultations
Initial Consultation
You’re new here, welcome! An initial consultation is for new clients.
Before an initial consultation, you will be asked to send through relevant personal information about your health and goals in a pre-consultation form. This initial session is either 60- or 90-minutes to give us plenty of time to develop a personal approach tailored for your needs.
During an initial consultation:
- We will discuss your relevant history and health concerns.
- Explore dietary and lifestyle patterns.
- We discuss your acute priority areas as well as overall bigger goals and expected results.
- We work with you collaboratively to develop a nutrition and lifestyle plan, including specific strategies to overcome certain areas that you may find particularly challenging.
- You will be given an understanding of why certain recommendations have been incorporated into your plan so that you have practical knowledge and skills that can be applied beyond our time working together.
Follow-up consultations
The level of support you may require varies depending on your goals, particular health challenges, and unique experience with your health.
Follow-up consultation involve:
- Discussion of progress including the wins and any challenging areas that you may be facing.
- Problem solving any barriers that you may see could hinder ongoing, long-term positive results.
- Review relevant biochemistry or other parameters that we’re monitoring.
- Build-on or revise the existing nutrition and lifestyle plan. Adjust strategies to ensure the approach aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
- Supplement review.
