Weight-Inclusive
and Fat-Positive
Nutrition Counselling.

It depends. Meal plans are really useful and important for some people, and not for others.

Ultimately, this will be a decision we will make together after getting curious about a few things (e.g. Have you had a meal plan before? Do you currently have one? How has it served you so far or previously?)

And we may experiment with some gentle structure to eating, rather than a meal plan.

Not much! I’ll send you a link to the registration information and forms for you to complete before we meet for the first time.

If you have a GP, psychologist or psychiatrist, it can help for them to send me an overview of their treatment with you or a reason for referral.

If you have an eating disorder, your GP needs to be involved in your care to monitor your health regularly.

Nope.

If you need to restore weight, and knowing your weight trajectory is clinically important, I recommend your GP or another trusted member of your team take on that task with you.

I invite you to contact me for all the ins and outs around fees.

If your financial situation impacts being able to receive the care you need, individual payment options are available.

Initial session (60 mins) – $205

Standard Session (50 mins) – $180

Short Session (30 mins) – $110

If you are eligible for a Chronic Disease Management Plan or Eating Disorder Treatment Plan through your GP you can claim a partial rebate through Medicare.

If you have private health insurance you may be eligible for a rebate if covered for Dietetics under your extras.

Please note there will still be an out-of-pocket fee.

I work with people anywhere from a couple of appointments to several years. It depends on the level of support that will move you closer to your goals or recovery.

Generally, we might meet weekly for 1-3 appointments, then fortnightly, and then move to monthly. It really is different for everyone!

Take a peek at what working together will look like and my approach and style of nutrition counselling.

For many people, attending a first appointment with a new provider feels scary. Or you may feel nervous, uncertain, or anxious. This makes particular sense if you’ve had tricky experiences with providers in the past.

I know it’s a BIG STEP to reach out for support, so whatever you’re feeling is normal, and we can spend as much time as you need to chat about it when we meet.

I’d also invite you to plan your time before and after your appointment, to allow yourself to settle, ground or transition in and out of our appointments.

Yes, but not in the way you probably mean (I’m guessing you’re after help to lose weight?).

Given the world we live in, the (untrue) messages we hear about what kind of bodies are right and wrong, and the stigma my clients have helped me understand is often experienced when living in a larger body, it makes complete sense that you may want to change your body.

And, I don’t deliver or engage in weight loss strategies.

From an ethical perspective, supporting some people to lose weight while supporting others to heal from eating disorders just doesn’t align. When we take a look at the evidence, there’s no weight loss method that works in the long term and is risk-free. So, weight loss is not something I feel comfortable delivering or supporting.

Many people I see still want to change their bodies– it’s a really hard desire to shift. Desiring it and acting on it are different things and I’m here to help you to understand and unpack your relationship to your weight and body, understand your body story, and support you to shift from a place of body hatred to body respect.
