What to expect

Your first consultation with us is usually for one hour. We can see you in-person in our clinic or speak by phone, or online via Zoom or Skype. In that time, we discuss your health concerns, what you want from the consultation, dietary approaches you have tried before, food and drink you currently consume and avoid, and your lifestyle.

We then create a dietary plan with practical meal suggestions, a shopping guide for reading food labels, tips for eating out and useful recipe books, websites and support groups.

We then meet again to review your progress and this is usually for 30 minutes.  Many people meet with us 3 to 6 times but there is no set number of consultations.  It is about what you want from us.

What to bring with you

When you book with us, you will be emailed your food, activity, and symptom diary. You can complete this either by hand or typed on the computer and bring it with you.

If you like, do bring a family member or friend. As we say, “two sets of ears are often better than one”, and especially if the other person does most of the cooking at home.

You can bring any food labels you want help reading, a list of supplements or the bottles themselves, and a list of medications that you currently take.

If you have recent blood results or a letter from your doctor, do bring these along.

Cancellation Policy

We realise that your schedule can change and you may need to change your appointment time. We appreciate it if you can give us at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule your consultation.

Cancellation within 24 hours of your appointment will incur a full consultation fee.

If the consultation is pre-paid, this will be regarded as a used appointment.
