The consultation process is typically divided into three stages.

Stage 1: Before your Consultation

After booking your consultation you will be sent a questionnaire which will require you to complete your medical history and record a three-day food diary. The completed questionnaire needs to be returned to me at least three days before your consultation. This enables me to build a picture of their health history and consider how I can help you achieve your goals. It also ensures you get more value from our consultation time as much of the analysis is carried out in advance.

Stage 2: First Consultation

The first consultation lasts for fifty minutes. We will discuss your goals, health concerns, and agree a personalised programme that fits in with your child’s lifestyle and dietary preferences as well your family’s time and budget constraints. Your full programme will be emailed to you within two working days of our consultation.

The programme will include the following:

• A personalised nutrition programme.
• Recipes, shopping lists and sample menu plans.
• A supplement programme (if necessary).
• Where necessary, a referral for testing to gather more information about your health or nutrient status. 

Stage 3: Follow-up Consultations

I usually recommend you attend a follow-up consultation between four and six weeks after your first consultation. The aim of this consultation is to review progress to date, and to adapt the programme as required. Follow-up consultations usually last between thirty and forty-five minutes. Further consultations may be required depending on progress. Most clients require two to three consultations over a three month period.
