Nutrition Services
WELCOME
Following a significant hiatus from private practice, I am re-building my services via Telehealth. and offer nutrition consultations Australia-wide. I hope to provide some opportunities for clinic-based appointments for ACT residents in the future.
If you are contemplating making an appointment, not sure if I can support you, or otherwise are interested to know more about my approach, you may wish to book in a 15-minute complimentary call.
Have a free 15-minute chat to discuss your needs and my services

Frequently Asked Questions
You can either call me ph. 0478 599 770 or book online to make an initial appointment.
Making the appointment will trigger an email that will be sent to you with a request to complete 2 online forms:
- Consent form for Telehealth
- Client registration form
There is an option to securely upload your referral information to the Client Registration form, if your referrer hasn’t sent them directly.
A Telehealth appointment is a consultation that takes place by phone or video call.
The appointment duration is similar as for a face to face consultation. This gives time to discuss your health concerns and nutrition needs.
For more general information on Telehealth services, read here.
At this stage, I am unable to provide face to face appointments as part of my practice – sorry!
There may be opportunity to see me in an office down the track, as my clinic activity grows.
Appointments are generally offered during the following days and times:
- Mondays: 9.00am – 2.30pm
- Tuesdays: 9.00am – 2.30pm
- Fridays: 9.00am – 2.30pm
I may have openings on other occasions during a specific week, so you are welcome to email me with your preferred appointment days/times if none of the ones listed above work for you.
I endeavour to respond to all enquiries in a timely manner (please do check your junk/spam folders from time to time).
Absolutely, I’d be happy to support you if your nutrition concerns and my professional experience are a good match. Each dietitian has their area of experience, know-how and practice, and I may be able to refer you to one of my colleagues if I feel their nutrition interest or approach may better suit you.
While I have a special interest in eating behaviours, diabetes, and mental health, I can cover other nutrition areas including:
- chewing or swallowing difficulties
- undernutrition resulting from long-term health issues
- heart disease and cholesterol concerns
- fatty liver
- nutritional issues related to upper GI surgeries such as laparoscopic fundoplications, partial or total gastrectomies,
