F.A.Q

The word 'Nutritionist' isn't a legally protected name in Australia. Due to this, it is important to make sure the Nutritionist you would like to see is a fully qualified health professional. University qualified Nutritionists have undertaken study in food science, eating behaviour and how nutrition affects our health. They will also be registered with a governing body, for example, I am a registered practitioner with the Complementary Medicines Association (CMA). The best way to make sure you are seeing a qualified Nutritionist is to check that they hold full membership with a governing body.
Yourself, of course! It is also encouraged that you bring a note pad with any questions you may have (this is purely so you don't forget to ask; this consult is your time so we want to make sure you get all the information you need from us).

You are welcome to bring a note pad and pen if you would like. However, be assured that we will send out a consultation summary for you after the appointment. This way you will have access to all the information discussed!
Yes.
I am a registered provider with the following major health funds: AHM, CUA Health, gmf, MDHF, Westfund Health Insurance, Apia, Health Partners, Suncorp, Quantas Assure, AAMI, Australian Unity, CBHS, Grand United, HBF, Medibank and NIB.
If you have health insurance with any of these providers, and are covered for consults with a Nutritionist, then you will be able to get a rebate. 
During your Initial consult we will discuss the following:
  • any supplements and medications you are taking
  •  any medical conditions or food allergies you have
We will then discuss your current dietary and lifestyle habits and how they are affecting your health and well being. During your consult you are encouraged to ask any and all questions you may have as this is your time! We will then discuss your goals and tailor an individual plan encompassing eating and lifestyle recommendations best suited to your needs.
No you do not. We recommend that you pay through bank transfer or paypal once your booking time and date have been confirmed. However, you can pay cash at the time of your consult or be invoiced. We do not have eftpos facilities.
