Services We Offer
Individualised Nutrition Assessments & Medical Nutrition Therapy
We take the time to understand your health history, medical conditions, dietary habits, and personal preferences to assess your nutritional status. We aim to improve overall health and quality of life through realistic and achievable dietary strategies.
Ongoing Review and Support
Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress, reassess goals, and adjust your nutrition plan as your needs evolve.
Creating and Reviewing Meal Plans
We develop practical and personalised meal plans that align with your preferences, cultural needs, and any dietary restrictions. Our plans are designed not only to make everyday eating easier and more enjoyable but also to address any nutritional inadequacies and improve your overall nutritional status.
Oral Nutrition Supplement Prescription and Reviews
Where food intake alone is insufficient to meet your nutritional needs, we provide oral nutrition supplement prescriptions to help optimise your intake. We also assess current supplement use to ensure it is clinically appropriate and tailored to your individual requirements.
Nutritional Education
We offer practical, easy-to-understand nutrition education tailored to each person’s needs. Our goal is to empower clients and their caregivers with the confidence, knowledge, and strategies to support everyday food and nutrition decisions that promote health and wellbeing.
