Nutritional Consultancy
Many states of discomfort – both physiological and psychological – can improve with simple dietary and lifestyle change. I say this as a health professional and as an patient who healed autoimmune hepatitis and anorexia nervosa without any specific protocol or pill.
That’s not a claim of cure for my own conditions or anyone else’s.
I’m just saying that in my case, it wasn’t hard to turn things around.
On the contrary, it was delicious and fun.
Like sleeping, moving, stretching, laughing and spending time with our favourite people, food is one of our most foundational medicines.
Case in point: think about how good you feel when you tuck into an insanely [high fibre] delicious meal and wake up the next day and pass what can only be described as an “immaculate” dump. Uh-maz-ing, right? Well, that poophoria you’re feeling is the result of hydration, dietary fibre and an adequate magnesium status. See, I told you … medicine!
To summarise: your body is intelligent, food is profound and nutrients influence genetic expression. Wholesome foods encourage favourable genes to switch on and less desirable genes to lay fallow.
Nutritional Consultations can help you to …
- Achieve a body composition that feels right for YOU
- Develop independence and autonomy around nutritional decisions (no second-guessing or being mislead by marketing ploys)
- Optimise your energy levels
- Feel settled in your gut, mind and heart
- Enjoy healthier bowel movements (heck yes!)
- Sport glowing skin
- Achieve a brighter disposition
- Develop a gratifying relationship with your food and body
They are also suitable if you have a diagnosis that is being managed by a medical professional who – whilst gifted in their own modality – isn’t qualified to give holistic nutrition and lifestyle support.
Nutritional consults integrate:
- Philosophy – helping you develop an ethos around food and body image that supports you in your everyday life.
- Education – learning foundational lessons, such as the role of food in keeping well, the signs and symptoms that result from depletive eating patterns (and how to rectify them) and how to shop, cook and eat economically, nutritiously and sustainably.
- Empowerment – ensuring you develop confidence to stand strong in your nutritional decisions. We call this ‘owning it’.
- Lifestyle Medicine – championing that while food is a pivotal component of health, it is best supported by creating a lifestyle that complements dietary change.
- Happy Body Image – I love who I see in the mirror. This is what I wish for everyone. Not my body specifically – we need diversity – but the desire to bust a move when you spy yourself in the mirror.
When you think about how you want to feel, consider what bodily functions need to be optimised to achieve these feelings. This is what nutrition can do for you. Nutrients unlock pathways in the body that keep you grooving along at a vibrant, gratifying pace.
The setting
I offer face-to-face, mobile consults (where I either come to your home or we meet at a central location that is convenient to us both: a park, beach etc.). If you are desperate to work with me specifically and live interstate (I am in Adelaide, SA) or in a rural/remote location, please send me an email explaining your situation, as I may make an exception for your circumstances and organise a Telehealth appointment.
Energetic Exchange
75-minute initial consult – $150*
1 hour (follow up) $100
30 minutes (follow-up) – $50**
*includes a copy of my first book: an educational resource bursting full of information and recipes to humorously guide and enchant you on your quest to life-long health. If you owned a copy of my book before our first session, you will receive your choice of my three eBooks instead.
**This option will not include an updated treatment plan. It is a short appointment for you to receive support and ask specific questions that pop up in between more comprehensive follow up consultations.
The Boring But Important Stuff
Please note that some overtime charges may apply.
If we go overtime between 1-10 minutes, you will not be charged extra (because these things happen). An extra $20 for every minute over 11 (and up to 20) minutes and $30 for every minute minute over 21 (and up to 30) minutes applies. I will make every effort to prevent us from going overtime, but am putting this in writing so that if for some unforeseeable reason, you need a little extra time, it doesn’t get awkward.
Last minute cancellations (less than 12 hours) may incur a cancellation fee, depending on your situation.
I am happy to gift you a complementary phone call before you book where you can ask questions and get to know me a little better. I want you to feel comfortable working with me before you make the investment in what I can offer you. If you’d like this complementary service, please just let me know when you get in contact.
Please keep in mind that these calls are only a space to ask me questions about how I work, and me to ask questions to gauge whether we’ll be a good fit. I cannot ethically give you any advice during these calls.

Disclaimer – I provide you with long-term strategies and education so that you develop nutritional confidence and independence. As such, consults never involve me telling you what to do. That could lead to long-term dependence, and whilst a great business strategy for me it certainly wouldn’t serve you in the long run. I’m not here to milk your money. I’m here to give you the gift of nutritional autonomy. For life.
If you desire extra support I do offer my ‘Little Miss Meal Prep’ service, which is a very affordable way to have a personal chef to take some of the mental load out of getting organised. I am happy for you to be there as I work and learn from me so that you can learn the skills to eventually do all your own meal prep for yourself.
I don’t sell quick fixes, short-cuts or nutritional mollycoddling. This is about you being okay in the long term and developing independence.
Getting your nutritional ‘mojo’ back. This is what I stand for.
