No. You do not require a medical referral.

My journey into health started when I became a mum. I love working with kids (and big kids alike!). I also have a WWCC so please know that I have your children’s best interests at heart. I ask that anyone under the age of 18 is accompanied by their adult to all appointments.

You can book me here, at HealthBank. You will be prompted to firstly set up an account, and once this is done, click on my profile and select the service you wish to book. Don’t forget to complete the onboarding questionnaire so that we can hit the ground running at your first appointment.

HealthBank is an Australian-owned and run, cloud-based, patient management system. All of your information, from the time you sign up, to the files we share, the emails we send to each other and the notes I take from our consultations are stored there. Your telehealth appointment (if applicable) takes place on HealthBank’s server via a secure virtual consultation room.

Your face-to-face appointment generally includes a physical assessment. I will always ask for your permission to do so and it is at your discretion if you wish to skip this part of the assessment. Note: If you book a BIS Body Composition Assessment, this will involve physical touch (but no undressing is required).

As a Clinical Nutritionist, I provide advice and treatment via dietary and lifestyle modifications. If indicated, I can arrange for functional testing and can also prescribe practitioner-grade supplements and nutrients.

Being dual qualified as both a ‘nutritionist’ and a ‘clinical nutritionist’ has made me appreciate just how different these qualifications are. The benefit to you? When you come and see me, you get to tap into ALL my nutrition knowledge.

You can find more detailed information around the differences here and here.

If you’re open to it, and if and when it is applicable, it would be great to have a working relationship with the rest of your health care team (GP, specialists, and any other allied health care professionals that you see). While I can help with treating and advising on your diet and nutrition, we want to make sure that you have every aspect of your health covered. As a starting point, I recommend heading to your GP at least once a year for a blood test to track your health status and monitor for any deficiencies or excesses. This test is covered under Medicare, and also very useful for me to review.

I don’t specialise, and that is my superpower. Let me explain: From personal experience and in a professional capacity, I have found that confirmation bias can sneak up on us health professionals (that makes us see only what we expect, not necessarily the whole picture). This can lead to misdiagnosis/es or even delayed diagnosis of conditions; overtreatment or unnecessary interventions AND most importantly could contribute to limited consideration of holistic or interdisciplinary approaches to your health. What I can tell you is this. You and I will spend a considerable amount of time during your appointment understanding your health puzzle, so that I can provide with you a balanced, comprehensive care plan. What that means for you? No cookie cutter approach, no set and forget diet / nutrient / lifestyle prescription. You are constantly evolving and I am right there by your side making sure that your health plan is working for you, at all times.

As a clinical nutritionist, I don’t prioritise weight loss as a treatment, instead I look at it as a side benefit. Once I help you address underlying issues, such as nutrient deficiencies, chronic health conditions or metabolic imbalances, sustainable weight management is often just around the corner.

I offer both face-to-face consultations and telehealth. My preference, if you live locally, is to meet face-to-face for our first consultation. BIS appointments are delivered face-to-face only.

If you have any quick burning questions that come up after an appointment, you are welcome to contact me via HealthBank (as a registered client on there, you can send me an email directly). I will endeavour to reply within 1 business day. Alternatively, if your query requires more than a few minutes of my time, or is with regards to a new issue that has arisen since we last met, it’s best to book a follow up appointment.

I consult with people from all over the world, except for the USA. Please be aware, that if you are based overseas, I will not be able to prescribe / send any nutrients or arrange any functional testing for you.
