Appointment Information
What can I expect from a consultation?
​
We will start by getting to know you, what is important to you and your goals. This may include exploring baseline information around your relationship with food, thoughts, movement and your body.
​
Together we can set some intentions which we will continue to explore and revise based on your needs and circumstances.
​​
​
Will I get a meal plan?
​
There are so many diets out there using meal plans that tell us all what should eat. This can be problematic as they don't take into account our different body types, our fluctuating daily energy needs, our genetics, how we are feeling and how much we are moving.
Therefore we can use a non-diet approach that is flexible and focuses on developing skills and confidence to nourish yourself in a way that is more intuitive or line with how your body works.
If you need a little structure to support your body in the earlier stages then we can develop a simplified plan together that is based on your needs and foods you enjoy.
​​
​
Will I be weighed?
At You for Life you will not be weighed. If there is a need to monitor weight for medical reasons then this may be undertaken with your medical provider.
​
​
How much does a consultation cost?
​
$150 per session for 50 minutes.
