This is your initial appointment with me where I conduct a comprehensive nutrition assessment considering body composition and weight history, review of blood test results and a plan for further testing if required. Medical and family history, medications, supplements, lifestyle and physical activity. I undertake a detailed gut health assessment and take a deep dive into your cycle health. Additional factors such as sleep, stress and mental wellbeing are considered as well as an in-depth dietary assessment.

Progress review

This is where you receive the coaching and support from me that will fast track results. Evidence shows that regular support from a Health Professional will more likely result in sustainable behaviour change. Meaningful change can be challenging, this is where review appointments yield results.

I pride myself on offering thorough and supportive follow-up. This is what one client had to say…

“Firstly I want to thank you sooooo much for your help, persistence and postivity.

You really helped break down a weightloss barrier which I had been struggling with during my fertility IVF journey. I want to say a huge thank you! Because with your help I was able to drop the weight and start a new round of IVF 🙂 This has been successful and I am now 9 weeks pregnant!” M. Christchurch

In these consultations, we will measure the results of your nutrition treatment and also make any required adjustments.

The amount of review appointments needed varies from client to client. We will discuss your personal requirements at the end of your Nutrition Assessment. I do offer programs for those requiring ongoing accountability with support and coaching for results and we can discuss this at your first appointment.
