Personal Consulting
We provide individualised dietary assessments, medical nutrition advice, meal plans and motivational counselling. A one-to-one consultation will allow us to assess your needs and provide you with a personalised plan to help you achieve your health goals as soon as possible.
We offer consultations where it suits you, at home, at work or other locations that may suit. You don’t need to rush to get to us, organise transport or child minding, or take additional time out of your day.
Skype and phone consults are also available upon request.
During our initial meeting, we will ask lots of questions to complete a detailed nutrition health assessment.
This will allow us to collect information about your medical concerns, lifestyle habits, dietary pattern and current health and wellbeing goals. We look into your food preferences to make sure you have lots of delicious meal and snack options and to ensure you don’t feel you have to cut any foods out of your diet. We also ask questions to better understand the presence of any problem areas and triggers for food intake so they can be worked through in future sessions and incorporated into your plan.
From this, we develop a dietary plan that combines practical and achievable strategies that are personalised to your specific needs. By the end of your first visit, we will provide you with either a tailored meal plan or personalised action plan – depending on your preference.
We may ask to do some basic body measures and weight (if required) so that we have a baseline to work with and a starting point from which to make goals.
Managing the way you eat usually involves ongoing care and attention. Some clients find they are able to get all the information and help they need in their initial appointment, but most will benefit from ongoing appointments. The frequency of appointments will be discussed with you in your initial consultation, usually these appointments are between 1 and 4 weeks apart.
In your follow-up sessions we will help you monitor your progress, continue to motivate and help you towards your goals, and provide you with extra information and advice.
The number of follow-up sessions will be determined by your personal needs and confidence, and any extra motivation or information you might need.
You are able to claim Medicare rebates towards the cost of your consultations if you are referred to Breeze Nutrition by your GP under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Chronic Disease Management plans are designed to help people access the services of a range of health providers to help them manage their chronic (ongoing) health conditions, which can include diabetes or high cholesterol.

Most private health funds will provide rebates for Dietitian consultations. The rebate will depend on your level of cover. Please contact your health fund to check what rebate you will be entitled to.
No referral is needed to see us when claiming with private health.
We understand life is busy and things can come up at short notice.

We are happy to reschedule appointments and try to be as flexible as possible to fit in with your lifestyle.
