Work With Me

Personalised clinical nutrition support to help you understand your body, address what may be driving your symptoms, and feel nourished from the inside out.

At Happily Nourished, nutrition support isn’t about restrictive diets, quick fixes or trying to eat “perfectly”.

It’s about understanding why you may not be feeling your best, looking at the bigger picture, and creating a practical plan that supports your body in a way that works in real life.

Whether you’re experiencing digestive symptoms, fatigue, hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, stubborn weight changes, or simply feel that your body isn’t responding the way it used to, I work with you to help make sense of what may be going on.

My approach combines clinical nutrition, current nutritional science, food-as-medicine strategies and functional testing where appropriate, alongside your individual health history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals.

The aim is simple: less confusion, more clarity, and a plan that feels achievable.

How you’ll feel…

More confident and clearheaded with increased energy and deeper sleep.

How Can I Help?

You may benefit from clinical nutrition support if you are experiencing:

  • bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea or digestive discomfort

  • reflux or food sensitivities

  • IBS-type symptoms or changes in bowel function

  • fatigue, low energy or poor recovery

  • low iron or other nutrient deficiencies

  • perimenopause or menopause-related changes

  • stubborn weight or metabolic changes

  • cravings or blood sugar fluctuations

  • poor sleep, stress, mood changes or brain fog

  • inflammation or joint discomfort

  • confusing blood tests or functional test results

  • uncertainty about supplements or what you should be eating

  • a sense that you're doing all the “right” things but still not feeling well

Rather than looking at one symptom in isolation, we consider your diet, digestion, health history, pathology, medications, supplements, stress, sleep, movement and lifestyle to help identify the areas that may need support.


My Approach

Food first, personalised and evidence-informed

Food is one of the most powerful tools we have to support health, but nutrition also needs to be realistic, sustainable and individual.

There is no single diet that is right for everyone.

Your recommendations may include:

  • personalised food and meal strategies

  • digestive and microbiome support

  • menopause and hormonal nutrition

  • blood sugar and metabolic support

  • nutrient repletion

  • strategies for inflammation and healthy ageing

  • lifestyle, sleep and stress support

  • interpretation of pathology results

  • functional testing where it may add useful information

  • practitioner-grade supplementation where appropriate

  • clear education around why recommendations are being made

I don't believe in overwhelming you with a long list of things you suddenly need to change.

Instead, we prioritise what matters most and introduce changes in achievable steps.


Consultation Options & Fees


Initial Nutrition Consultation

60–90 minutes | $185

Your initial consultation gives us the time to properly explore what has been happening with your health and what you would most like to change.

Before and during your appointment, I consider your:

  • health and symptom history

  • current diet and eating patterns

  • digestive function

  • energy and sleep

  • stress and lifestyle

  • medications and supplements

  • recent pathology or test results

  • health goals and priorities

Together, we start identifying patterns and possible drivers behind your symptoms and determine the most useful place to begin.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to the way you feel and practical recommendations for your next steps.

Best for:
New clients wanting an individualised clinical nutrition assessment and clear direction.




Follow-Up Consultation

30–45 minutes | $110

Health changes over time, and your nutrition plan should too.

Follow-up appointments allow us to assess how you are responding, review symptoms and progress, interpret any new pathology, and adjust your recommendations as needed.

We may review:

  • what has improved

  • what hasn't changed yet

  • tolerance to foods or supplements

  • digestive and bowel changes

  • energy, sleep, mood or hormonal symptoms

  • new pathology or test results

  • what we need to adjust or focus on next

Follow-ups are often where we can refine your plan and build on the progress you have already made.

Best for:
Existing clients continuing their treatment plan.


Quick Check-In

15–20 minutes | $55

Sometimes you don't need a full consultation — you simply need some guidance about what to do next.

A Quick Check-In can be used to discuss a small change or question between your regular appointments.

This might include:

  • adjusting a supplement

  • checking how you are tolerating something new

  • discussing a food reaction

  • reviewing one or two simple pathology markers

  • deciding on your next treatment step

  • troubleshooting something that has changed

Available to existing clients only.


Results Review Consultations

Test results can provide valuable information — but a page full of numbers doesn't always tell you what they mean for you.

Rather than looking at markers individually, I interpret your results alongside your symptoms, health history, diet, medications, supplements and overall clinical picture.

Results Review

$165

Suitable for blood pathology and less complex test results.

This may include:

  • iron and ferritin

  • B12 and folate

  • vitamin D

  • thyroid markers

  • cholesterol and metabolic markers

  • glucose and insulin-related markers

  • liver function

  • nutrient markers

  • general pathology trends

We will discuss what your results may mean, what deserves attention, what is reassuring, and practical nutrition or lifestyle strategies based on your findings.

Best for:
Clients who have pathology results but would like greater explanation and a practical nutrition plan.


Comprehensive Results Review

$220

Some tests require considerably more interpretation before we even sit down together.

This consultation is designed for more comprehensive functional testing such as:

  • Microba microbiome testing

  • comprehensive gut testing

  • nutrigenomic or DNA reports

  • food sensitivity testing

  • mineral testing

  • multiple pathology reports

  • complex functional test results

Your results are reviewed prior to your consultation so we can use our appointment time to focus on what the findings actually mean, how they may relate to your symptoms and what we should do with that information.

Where appropriate, we will also discuss:

  • food and nutrient strategies

  • microbiome or digestive support

  • lifestyle recommendations

  • practitioner supplementation

  • whether anything requires further investigation with your GP or healthcare provider

You won't simply receive a list of abnormal markers. My role is to help you understand the bigger picture and turn the information into an achievable plan.

Best for:
Clients wanting in-depth interpretation of more complex functional testing.


Foundation Nutrition Package

Initial Consultation + Personalised Plan + 2 Follow-Ups (the favourite)

$395

For many health concerns, one conversation is enough to identify where to begin — but meaningful change often requires a little more time and support.

The Foundation Nutrition Package gives us the opportunity to assess what is happening, put your initial plan into place, and then refine it based on how your body responds.

Your package includes:

Initial Nutrition Consultation — 60–90 minutes

A comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, diet, health history, lifestyle, medications, supplements and goals.

Personalised Report & Treatment Plan

Clear nutrition, food-as-medicine, lifestyle and supplement recommendations tailored to you.

Two Follow-Up Consultations

We review your response, track symptoms and progress, and adjust your plan as needed.

The package allows us to introduce recommendations gradually rather than trying to change everything at once.

The Foundation Package may be particularly helpful for:

  • digestive and gut concerns

  • ongoing fatigue

  • nutrient deficiencies

  • perimenopause and menopause

  • inflammation

  • stubborn weight or metabolic changes

  • food sensitivities or food confusion

  • multiple or long-standing symptoms

Best for:
Clients who want a supported starting point rather than a single consultation.

Ongoing Nutrition Support Package

3 × 30–45 minute follow-up consultations

$305

Designed for clients who have completed their initial plan and would benefit from continued support as we monitor progress, adjust recommendations and work through the next stages of their treatment plan.


Signature Areas of Support

Gut Clarity

Understand what your gut may be trying to tell you.

Digestive symptoms can be frustrating — particularly when it feels as though foods that were once fine suddenly aren't, or when you are constantly trying to work out what is triggering your symptoms.

Gut Clarity support may be helpful if you experience:

  • bloating or excessive gas

  • constipation

  • loose stools or diarrhoea

  • IBS-type symptoms

  • reflux

  • food reactions

  • abdominal discomfort

  • changes after antibiotics

  • ongoing digestive symptoms without a clear explanation

We may explore factors such as:

  • food patterns

  • digestive function

  • bowel motility

  • microbiome balance

  • fibre intake

  • inflammation

  • stomach acid and upper digestive function

  • nutrient status

  • stress and the gut-brain connection

Where it is genuinely useful, functional gut or microbiome testing may also be considered.

Testing is never done simply for the sake of testing. It should help answer a useful clinical question and guide what we do next.


Menopause Reset

Nutrition support for the body you have now.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than your menstrual cycle.

Changes in hormones can influence:

  • body composition

  • appetite and cravings

  • insulin sensitivity

  • sleep

  • mood

  • digestion

  • muscle mass

  • bone health

  • cholesterol

  • inflammation

  • energy

  • recovery

And sometimes the things that worked for your body in your 30s and 40s simply don't work in quite the same way anymore.

Menopause Reset focuses on nourishing and supporting your body differently — not simply eating less and exercising harder.

Together we may work on:

  • protein and muscle support

  • blood sugar balance

  • metabolic health

  • gut health

  • fibre and hormone metabolism

  • healthy fats

  • inflammation

  • bone-supportive nutrition

  • nutrient sufficiency

  • sleep and stress

  • sustainable body composition changes

  • healthy ageing

The aim is to help you feel strong, nourished and confident about how to support your body through midlife and beyond.



Functional Testing

Sometimes your symptoms and health history give us enough information to know where to begin.

Sometimes we need another piece of the puzzle.

Functional testing may be considered when it is likely to provide information that changes or improves the way we approach your treatment.

Testing may include:

  • microbiome analysis

  • comprehensive digestive testing

  • intestinal health markers

  • nutrient testing

  • food sensitivity testing

  • mineral status

  • nutrigenomics and DNA

  • hormone-related testing

  • selected pathology

Testing is not required to work with me and it isn't appropriate for everyone.

If testing is recommended, I will explain:

why I think it could be useful, what information we are looking for, and how the result may influence your plan.

You can then decide whether it feels right for you.

Please note:

Any recommended functional testing or supplements are additional to consultation fees. These will always be discussed with you first, so you can make an informed decision about what feels right for you.


What to Expect

Before Your Appointment

Before your first consultation, you'll complete a New Client Registration Form.

This gives me some background on your health history, symptoms, goals, medications and supplements before we meet.

You're also welcome to send through recent pathology, test results or a current supplement list.

During Your Consultation

Your consultation is a supportive, non-judgemental conversation about what's been happening with your health.

You don't need to have a perfect diet.

You don't need to know what is wrong.

And you certainly don't need to arrive knowing what you should be doing.

That's my job.

Together we start making sense of the patterns, identifying priorities and deciding what your body may need more — or sometimes less — of.

After Your Consultation

Depending on your consultation, you may receive:

  • personalised nutrition recommendations

  • food and meal suggestions

  • food-as-medicine strategies

  • lifestyle recommendations

  • supplement guidance

  • educational resources

  • pathology or testing recommendations

  • a staged treatment plan

We then review how your body responds rather than assuming a plan should stay the same indefinitely.


Is This Right For You?

Working together may be a good fit if you:

  • want to understand what may be driving your symptoms

  • prefer a food-first approach

  • value evidence-informed nutrition

  • want recommendations tailored to you

  • appreciate understanding the why

  • are looking for realistic rather than restrictive changes

  • want guidance rather than continually trying to work things out yourself

  • would like someone to look at the bigger picture

  • are interested in functional testing when there is a genuine reason to use it

This may not be the right approach if you are looking for a strict meal plan, a quick fix, or a one-size-fits-all diet.

Ready to Feel Clearer About Your Health?

You don't need to have everything figured out before you make an appointment.

That's where we begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need testing before my appointment?

No. Most clients do not need testing before their first appointment.

We can begin with your symptoms, health history, diet and existing pathology and then decide whether any additional testing would genuinely be useful.

Can you review my blood tests?

Yes. Pathology can provide valuable context and can be reviewed alongside your symptoms, diet and health history.

For clients wanting a more detailed interpretation of their pathology, a Results Review consultation is also available.

Do you prescribe supplements?

Where they are appropriate, practitioner-grade supplements may form part of your treatment plan.

However, supplements aren't used simply because there is a supplement for every symptom. Food, nutrition and lifestyle foundations remain an important part of my approach.

Can I see you if I'm taking medication?

Yes.

Please include your current medications on your intake form so these can be considered alongside any nutrition or supplementation recommendations.

Is nutritional support suitable if I'm already seeing a GP or specialist?

Absolutely.

Clinical nutrition is designed to complement appropriate medical care — not replace it.

Where required, I may also encourage you to discuss particular symptoms or pathology findings with your GP or relevant healthcare provider.

Do you offer online consultations?

Yes. Consultations are available online, allowing you to access support from home.


Please note: Any recommended functional testing or supplements are additional to consultation fees. These will always be discussed with you first, so you can make an informed decision about what feels right for you.


FAQs
