Suburbs We Serve

Drive times are approximate and based on typical traffic conditions. We also offer telehealth consultations for clients further afield.
Why Choose a Local Nutritionist
Working with a nutritionist you can visit in person makes a measurable difference to your results.
Face-to-Face Support
Meet your coach in person at our Pakenham clinic. In-person consultations allow for a deeper understanding of your health goals, body composition assessment, and a personal connection that telehealth cannot match.
Local Lab Partnerships
We work alongside pathology providers in the Pakenham and Cardinia region. Your blood tests can be done locally, and we review results together in your next coaching session to track real progress.
Flexible Scheduling
We understand busy lives. Our Pakenham clinic offers morning, afternoon, and selected evening appointments. We also offer telehealth for follow-ups when you cannot make it in person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral to see a nutritionist?
No. You do not need a GP referral to book a coaching session with us. However, if you are currently on medication for diabetes, blood pressure, or cholesterol, we recommend informing your GP that you are making dietary changes so they can monitor and adjust medication as needed.
Is there parking at the Pakenham clinic?
Yes. We have free on-site parking directly outside the clinic at 309 Army Road, Pakenham. The clinic is also accessible by public transport — the Pakenham train station is approximately 5 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot.
Do you offer home visits in the Pakenham area?
We do not currently offer home visits. However, we offer both in-person consultations at our Pakenham clinic and telehealth sessions via video call for clients who prefer to meet from home.
Are consultations covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
Our coaching sessions are not currently covered by Medicare. Some private health insurers may cover nutrition coaching under 'natural therapies' or 'dietetics' depending on your policy. We recommend checking with your provider. We can provide receipts for you to submit a claim.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any recent blood test results (ideally from the last 3–6 months), a list of current medications and supplements, and any health goals you would like to discuss. If you have a food diary or fitness tracker data, that is helpful too.
How long is a typical consultation?
Your initial consultation is approximately 60 minutes, which allows time for a thorough health history, goal setting, and an introduction to our low carb approach. Follow-up sessions are typically 30–45 minutes.
