Once you’ve decided nutrition support is right for you, together we can start the process of getting you on the path towards better health.

 

 

Learning how to actually have a healthy diet and lifestyle in real life has been the steepest learning curve of all. I firmly believe that walking my talk is the most important thing I can do to support my work, it’s the only way to road test how this stuff works in real life.

It’s my job and I love it, but I don’t always get it right. I understand that it’s not always easy, and that things don’t have to be perfect to be worthwhile. I hope this makes my advice honest and real.

Most importantly, I’ve learnt that even if you change just one tiny thing it will make a difference to your health. This belief in the incredible power of little steps sits right at the core of every aspect of my work. Every journey starts with a single step… read more about me and my journey

 

What to expect
from the
consultation
process:

Before your initial consultation

I will ask you to fill in and send back (48hrs before consultation) a comprehensive health questionnaire, BANT terms of engagement, GDPR agreement and a 3-day food diary.


1. Initial consultation

60 -75 mins, in-person or via zoom

  • To begin with we will establish your health goals, answering the question;
    what is it that you would like to achieve from a nutrition consultation?

  • As a next step I will gather a comprehensive case history, noting any significant events that may have preceded where you are now.

  • Using a functional medicine model, I will dig deep to evaluate where problems may be rooted.

  • I will establish and prioritise 3 - 4 clear aims to work on from your initial consultation and set achievable dietary and lifestyle goals based on these aims.

  • In addition, I may recommend dietary supplements & further functional testing.

  • You will receive your individualised plan within 5 days of your initial consultation.


2.Follow-up consultation

30 mins, In-person or via zoom / telephone

Follow up consultations are arranged at your pace, to review progress, build on positive changes, interpret test results and continue to work together on the path towards better health. You will receive your new individualised plan within 5 days of your follow up consultation.


3.Longer follow-up consultation

60mins, In-person or via zoom / telephone

A longer follow-up consultation may be a helpful option at some point during your health journey, especially if we have multiple test results to go through. This will be in the same format as a shorter follow up and you will receive your new individualised plan within 5 days.


4.Support calls

15 minute support calls, Zoom / Telephone

These are a helpful option for a bit of extra support on your health journey. I offer 15 minute support calls (phone / zoom) following an initial consultation, or between follow up consultations. These support calls do not include new individualised plans. Any changes to your existing plan will be added to your existing notes as an interim amendment.

If you would like to discuss whether the optimum health journey package is right for you, please get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute discovery call. There is no obligation to book following this call. The aim is to decide together whether I am the right person to guide the next steps of your health journey.


The Optimum Health Journey Package:

The consultation process works best when we make a commitment to embark on a journey together so I now work with a smaller number of clients on a package basis only. Making positive changes to your diet and lifestyle takes time and commitment from both of us. As well as the time spent in consultations I also spend time researching your case before and between appointments. And in addition to supporting you with personalised diet and lifestyle advice I am your accountability partner too. Years of supporting clients has taught me that better results are achieved when we commit to working together over a period of time rather than a one-off appointment.

The Optimum Health Journey package includes:

  • 1 x 75 min Initial consultation

  • 3 x 30 min Follow up consultation, OR 1 x 60 min longer Follow up & 1 x 30 min follow up consultation

  • 2 x 15 minute support calls

  • Email support between sessions

Total Cost - £450.00

Must-haves, Flexibility & Beyond…

Must-haves - The total package must be completed within 6 months and must always start with an initial consultation.

Flexibility - The additional components of this package however are flexible and can be adapted to suit your needs. For example if you would benefit from more 15 minute support calls and less longer follow ups, or vice versa, we can design your package a bit differently.

After the package? Once you have completed an initial 6-month package, we can add follow up consultations / support calls on an ad hoc / as and when needed basis.


Testing & Supplements

Any recommended tests or supplement costs are in addition to consultation fees. These will always be discussed and agreed upon together in your consultation, and will always take into account your individual budget.
