If you'd like to finally find ease with food, discover comfort with your body (without needing to change it!) and improve your overall health and well-being, I'd love to support you. See below for details.
For your convenience, I offer online appointments on Thursdays 9am-8pm, Fridays 9am-5pm and Saturdays 9am-12pm.
Online appointments are a great way for us to work together, no matter where you live. You will receive the same support as you would for in-person appointments without the hassle of driving, finding a park, paying for a babysitter or even getting out of your PJs (no judgement here!).
At the time of your appointment, we will catch up via a secure telehealth program called Doxy. This program allows us to connect via video online, with no need to download anything or purchase any fancy equipment. You can simply click on the link provided when it's time for your appointment, and you'll be all set!

What to expect
I understand that it can be a little intimidating seeing a dietitian for the first time, particularly if the non-diet approach is new to you. You can learn more about what to expect in your initial assessment and review appointments here, and you might also like to check out this blog post for some further information as well.
Fees
Your first appointment will be $140 for 60-75 minutes and follow up sessions are $110 for 45-60 minutes.
Referrals
You do not need a referral for us to work together. However, if you would like to claim Medicare rebates, you will need a Chronic Disease Management Plan or Eating Disorder Plan from your GP. If you are seeking support for an eating disorder it is also recommended that you see your GP to assess your medical stability prior to booking your first appointment.
Rebates
Please note that Medicare rebates for online appointments are currently available until December 31, 2021.
If you have a chronic disease, you can claim Medicare rebates of $54.60 per consultation (up to 5 visits) if you are referred by your GP via a Chronic Disease Management Plan. If you have an eating disorder, you can claim Medicare rebates of $54.60 per consultation (up to 20 visits) if you are referred by your GP or psychiatrist via an Eating Disorder Plan. Please speak with your GP to determine if you are eligible for either plan. Click here if you would like to learn more about the new Eating Disorder Plan.
Your Medicare rebate will be processed following your appointment. Please note that I do not bulk bill appointments.
Please check with your private health insurer to determine your level of cover and eligibility for rebates. You will be provided with a copy of your appointment invoice to provide to your private health insurer to process if eligible.
It is not possible to claim a Medicare and private health insurance rebate on the same consultation.
