Unfortunately Medicare doesn’t cover consultations with nutritionists at this time. However, some private health insurers may offer rebates, depending on your level of cover.

Contact your health insurance provider for more information about your individual circumstances.

Initial consultations are 75 minutes, giving us time to cover your existing health and nutrition habits (or lack thereof!), any concerns you have, and your goals. You’ll complete a pre-appointment questionnaire before your session so we don’t waste any time - we’ll get right into the business side of things, giving you maximum bang for your buck!

Follow-up consultations are 50 minutes. During this time we’ll revisit your unique goals, addressing each one with tailored, personalised and effective strategies and tools - all of which require minimal effort, for maximum impact.

Follow-up consults are the action sessions. You’ll walk away each time with new practical, powerful tools to add to your health toolkit for life.

Each session includes any follow-up documentation or prescriptions if required. You’ll receive a comprehensive, personalised plan after each session, guiding you through the strategies and tools we introduced, prescribing any products you may need, and noting down next steps towards achieving your health goals. There’s a lot that goes on in the background before and after each face-to-face consult, trust me!

I’m impatient, so I say book NOW! Seriously though, nothing will ever offer the same value and personalised guidance as a 1:1 consult. Yes, the programs will be fabulous and inspiring and helpful, but if you want targeted, effective and simple solutions tailored specifically to your individual goals, concerns and circumstances, there’s no beating an individual session. And as if you don’t want to work with me one-to-one!

Good question - I created empathic nutrition because I truly believe my approach to health and nutrition is different to anything else that exists.

I have a “less is more” approach to health and nutrition, meaning I’ll show you how to elevate your health but I’ll only implement tools and strategies that demand less of your time, effort, energy, money and brain space.

I’ll streamline your health practices, so you know exactly what you have to do to support your wellbeing, but also what you don’t have to do - so you can ditch all the unnecessary, expensive, rigid regimes and practices you’ve been told you need in the past.

Health is much simpler than we’re led to believe. You’ve got enough on your plate without all the endless protocols, steps and routines the health industry tries to sell you.

I’ll do the heavy lifting, giving you the most effective tips and strategies to support your health. I’ll free up your time and brain space, so you can dedicate your newfound free time and energy towards the things in life that bring you happiness.

For me, physical and mental health are equally important. And this is how I’ll approach your health goals. I’ll talk to you like a human - I’ve been in your position, I’ve felt how you feel and struggled with the challenges you’re navigating. And I want to help, from the bottom of my heart.

You’ll get no unnecessary product pushes or sales pitches from me. I’ll never coerce you to keep coming back when you no longer need me.

I want to empower you to take your health into your own hands, and feel confident in doing so. I want you to leave me… when the time is right, of course. And no, I’m not like an app that claims it’s “designed to be deleted” yet has an algorithm designed to keep you on the platform forever…

I want to send you off into the big, wide world to enjoy your life, secure in the knowledge I’m always in your corner and here to support you whenever you need me - now, and in the future.

If you don’t need supplements or vitamins, you best believe I won’t prescribe them. I’m not here to make you buy seventy seven supplements you don’t need. That’s essentially selling you expensive pee.

I very much have a “food first” approach. Most of us can get all the nutrients we need from our diets alone. But when we delve deep into your health tests, results and history, if anything indicates you aren’t getting enough of certain nutrients from your diet, I’ll consider whether you need a supplement to help fill any gaps.

At the end of the day, I’ll never tell you to take or buy anything you don’t genuinely need. So if you don’t need supplements, then no I won’t recommend them. But if you do, I am primarily here to improve your health - so of course I’ll prescribe anything you actually need - if it will truly make a positive difference to your wellbeing.

Ahhh the age-old question, and a good one to understand. It takes a little explaining, so I break it down in an entry on the journal for you. But first, it’s important to note that not all nutritionists are equally qualified. Make sure you’re working with someone who has completed a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Nutrition Science, Dietetics or similar at a reputable institution (pick meee - I have a Bachelor of Nutrition Science and Dietetics from the University of Sydney!) and not just some dodgy online course than took 2 hours, or a “degree” from some alternative health college that values “woo woo” over what works.

Read the journal entry here to discover the difference between a nutritionist and dietitian.

See the question above for my (somewhat brutal!) answer to this question…

It’s true, I’m not the best at sugarcoating things… I’m more of a “say it how it is” gal.

No referral necessary! Book away, friend, it couldn’t be easier!

There’s no need to do tonnes of preparation or planning before your first session.

After you’ve booked an initial consultation, you’ll receive an email from me including a pre-appointment questionnaire. Fill it out with as much or as little detail as you like - just remember, the more info you give me in advance, the less background I’ll have to ask you for during our first meeting, meaning we can dive right into the fun stuff!

Other than the questionnaire, there is zero prep required from you. Leave all the heavy lifting to me!

If you do have any recent (within the last 6 months) blood test results, health reports, or anything you think is relevant to your health concerns or goals, I’d love for you to shoot these over to me via email along with your questionnaire before we meet. The more you share with me in advance, the more you’ll get out of your first session. But as with everything in my clinic, it’s entirely up to you - I’ll meet you wherever you’re at!

In your first session, we’ll establish your specific, individualised health and nutrition goals, and a plan of attack for how we can make them happen! Other than that, you can expect empathy and warmth, some serious support and science-based suggestions, plenty of knowledge and information, all delivered by a real person who’s been where you are - and knows exactly how to help you!

At this stage, all consults are held over Zoom - which means you can talk all things nutrition and health with me from the comfort of your own couch! I’ve found most of my patients prefer this - it cuts out travel time, and helps some people feel more comfortable and relaxed - especially in the first few sessions.

And I can assure you, it doesn’t take away anything from the personal connection we’ll build. You’ll get the same approachable, friendly, fun (but serious when it counts, don’t you worry!) version of me you’d get IRL, I promise!

Of course! Life happens, I get it. Just make sure you adhere to the cancellation policy to prevent being charged any no-show or cancellation fees:

• If you can no longer attend your appointment, please provide at least 48 hours notice so other patients can claim your time slot. Before this cancellation window, you’re free to reschedule your appointment to any other time that suits you - no questions asked!

• Cancellations within this 48 hour period are difficult to fill. To ensure as many patients as possible can book in and receive the support they need, cancellation fees may apply.

• If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, you may be charged up to 100% of the full fee.

When you book in for your initial consultation (or follow-up), you’ll need to purchase a session or package to allow you to lock in your chosen time slot. This means after your consult, you won’t have to pay a thing - you’ll have taken care of it in advance. What a gift to Future You!

If you do need to cancel your appointment, you’ll have a session credited to you (unless you’re within the 48 hour cancellation window) so you can to rebook for a time that suits you in the future.
