Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who do you help?
Women moving through life's biggest transitions - fertility (natural preconception & IVF nutrition) , pregnancy, gestational diabetes (food & lifestyle only), weight loss (post-baby changes) including GLP-1 nutrition and post-bariatric care. 

​

2. Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book yourself in.
If you plan to claim Medicare (CDM), ask your GP for a referral first.

​

3. Can I claim a rebate?

• Medicare (CDM): Possible with a GP referral.

• Private health: Many Extras policies rebate dietetics—funds differ, so a quick check with yours helps. I’ll issue invoices for easy claiming.

​

4. In-person or telehealth?
Both work beautifully. See me in Perth or via secure telehealth Australia-wide—same care, same resources.

​​​

​5. Why no 30-minute bulk-billed visits?

My care model is designed for deep personalised care — not rush. At your first session, we deep dive into your world (I’ll learn your story—goals, routine, medical history, supplements, labs. lifestyle), I then build a custom plan between visits, and hand it over at the follow up—so you leave confident and start immediately. Private health rebates may apply (check your fund).

​​

6. Do you give meal plans?

I don’t do 7-day meal-plan jails. I build structure and rhythms that fit real life—personalised and flexible, built around you, not pulled from a template. Learn about my Nourish to Add™approach 

​

7. Supplements & lab tests—can you advise?
Within APD scope, yes. Expect sensible guidance (no kickbacks) and a letter to your GP/OB/endo with suggested tests when appropriate.  No affiliate arrangements: I don’t use promo codes, earn commissions, or sell products. If I recommend something, it’s because it fits you—not because I’m paid to push it.

​

8. How many sessions will I need?

Think structure, not forever.
Most clients book 3–5 appointments to build momentum, then space out—always adjusted to your life.

​

9. Do you give advice by email between visits?

For safety and quality, I use email for quick updates/admin only. Any personalised advice or plan changes happen in appointments (or with your GP if urgent).

​

10. Do you work with cultural diets, vegetarians or food intolerances?
Always. Your plan will respect your food culture and preferences—and we’ll work around symptoms and intolerances without shrinking your options.

​​​​

​11. What’s your Fees & cancellation policy?
Life happens. Changes within 24 hours may incur a fee (full policy shown at booking). Fees are shown on the booking page. 

​

Scope of practice: As a dietitian, and not a medical doctor, I am not qualified to diagnose any health conditions. I do not provide treatment for active eating disorders. I offer ED-aware nutrition care for clients not in an active ED and will refer to specialist services when indicated.
