Private Consultations

I’d love to help you achieve your health goals and feel your best. No matter where you are starting from or how far you want to go I’m here to help.

I’m currently available for private consultations on Saturdays. I offer face-to-face consultations at my Ryde office and consultations by video chat or phone. I can also come to your home or workplace if you live within a 20 km radius of the Sydney CBD.

Important Notice

Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, I am available for private consultations by video chat or phone only.

What to expect?

An initial private consultation involves building a detailed picture of your diet and lifestyle. I’ll address any concerns you may have about your health and review your eating, sleeping and exercise habits, weight and medical history. Based on this, I’ll help you put together a plan to help you achieve your health goals.

I recommend that you follow-up with a least one consultation to review your progress. Often people like to continue with follow-up consultations for as long as they feel necessary.

Private health fund rebates

I am a registered as a dietitian with Australian private health funds. Rebates may apply for dietetic services depending on your level of extras cover. No referral is required if claiming under private health cover. Contact your private health fund for more information.

Please note I am not registered with Australian private health funds for exercise services.

Medicare rebates

I am also a registered provider with Medicare. Medicare provides rebates to people who have been referred to a dietitian by their GP on a Chronic Disease Management Plan or an Enhanced Primary Care Plan. The Medicare rebate for dietetic services is $53.80 per consultation. This does not cover the full cost of your consultation so there will be an out-of-pocket cost to you.

Please note I am not registered with Medicare for exercise services.
