Initial Session

An initial session includes a one-on-one appointment with you to complete a nutrition assessment. This involves asking information in relation to your child's day-to-day routine, background and nutrition intake. I will liaise with your child's GP/Paediatricians or other allied health professionals, if needed.

Review Sessions

A review session provides the opportunity to create a nutrition care plan in collaboration. This involves discussing your child's overall goals and tailored strategies to support your child with achieving them. I will provide you with a nutrition care plan, resources and a feeding plan (if appropriate).
