Consultations

What to expect

The initial consultation
Once your booking is confirmed, I will send you a pre-consultation questionnaire and food diary to complete prior to your first appointment so we can make the best of our time together. During the initial consultation we will have an in-depth discussion of your main health concerns and history, review your food choices, patterns and habits and establish your primary goal. I will look to identify and explain any underlying nutritional imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms. 

Sometimes I may refer you to your GP for further investigation or blood tests. I may also recommend specialist lab tests to help explore your health issues more thoroughly and to help me develop a more targeted plan. These tests are entirely optional but come at an additional cost to be paid directly to the laboratory.

Tests to support your individual plan may include:

  • Digestive function and microbiome analysis

  • Hormonal profiles

  • Nutrition status assessments

  • Food intolerance testing

  • Cyrex Immunological testing

Following your consultation, I will spend time writing up your individual plan which will include specific guidelines for the agreed dietary and lifestyle changes, as well as food ideas and recipes if you desire.
The initial consultation includes a brief check-in 10 days after your initial consultation via phone, email or Skype so I can answer any questions you may have or for some additional encouragement and support to help keep you motivated.

Follow-up appointments
A shorter follow-up session is usually scheduled 4 weeks after the initial consultation to review the plan, discuss your progress and address any challenges you may have experienced. Subsequent appointments depend on the complexity of your health concerns and on the level of support you require.

Locations

My practice is entirely online so I can work with you wherever you are in the world.

Cancellations

I understand that from time to time it may be necessary for you to change your appointment. You can cancel or reschedule your booking any time up until 24 hour prior to your consultation. A cancellation fee of 50% will be charged with less than 24 hours notice.
