The Nutritionista Clinic
Work with me
Our focus is on guiding you to achieve optimum health & wellbeing.
Welcome to our specialised approach to women’s health and hormones. We use nutrition and lifestyle tools to help you achieve optimum health and wellbeing.
As a clinical nutritionist, women’s health and reproductive medicine specialist, life coach, and NLP practitioner, my passion is to peel back the layers to understand why we do what we do and how to reaffirm positive behaviours.
In every consultation, we prioritise listening to your unique health concerns. Rather than offering quick fixes, we delve into the root causes of any health issues you face, aiming for comprehensive solutions.
During your initial 60-minute consultation, we thoroughly investigate your health concerns, asking the right questions to identify the root cause. Together, we develop a personalised plan to empower you to feel your best.
We cater to a wide range of women’s health needs, specialising in areas such as fertility, preconception and pregnancy support, perimenopause, menopause, weight loss, hormonal balancing, gut health, mental health, and food intolerances and allergies.

In our online clinic, we are committed to creating lasting change and supporting your journey to optimal health, hormone balance, and overall wellbeing. Our comprehensive consultations focus on identifying root causes and providing continuous education for sustainable lifestyle changes, steering clear of quick fixes.
While we may not solve everything in one consult (just as Rome wasn’t built in a day), our goal is to guide you through positive changes over multiple sessions, helping you achieve long-term, realistic healthy changes that seamlessly fit into your lifestyle. Embracing your unique path, our collaborative approach leads you towards lasting wellness and a vibrant, balanced life.
With our simple, convenient, and professional process, achieving your health goals is within reach. Embrace a journey of lasting wellness – book your consultation today!
1. Getting Started
Our thorough consultation process ensures we address the root of your symptoms and concerns. We don’t believe in quick fixes or band-aid solutions. Instead, we delve deep to understand your unique needs, setting the foundation for lasting results.
2. Education & Assessments
Empowerment through education is crucial. Throughout our ongoing sessions, we provide the knowledge you need to make lifestyle changes that stick for the long term. Our approach is all about sustainable well-being, not temporary fixes.
3. Positive, Long-Term Changes & Ongoing Support
We know that just one consultation might not do it all, but we’re here for you every step of the way. Our series of consultations guide you towards long-term, realistic healthy changes that seamlessly fit into your lifestyle.

How many appointments will I need?
This is different for everyone. The number of consultations required, will depend entirely on your initial nutrition assessment, your goals of treatment and your results. Within your initial appointment, it will be discussed, and you will get a better understanding on how often your case will need to be reviewed. If you simply present with an acute illness, like a cold, we can simply make a few therapeutic nutritional tweaks, give a few lifestyle recommendations, and possibly prescribe a supplement that can be delivered to your door (Available Australia-wide) if that’s what you’re after. Or if your case is complex and you require ongoing care then we will discuss your requirements and work in what’s best for you in your individual case.
What should I bring to my appointment?
The more information that can be provided, the better your consultation will be. We strongly suggest that you provide:
A copy of your most recent blood tests (highly recommended),
All medications, over the counter supplements, that you consume regularly,
Details of any meal plans or diets that you are following,
Any other relevant medical reports/records.
Do I need to have a blood test? Or my GP said my results were all normal?
We do not recommend getting unnecessary testing. If you have had blood tests done within the last 6 months then please forward a copy, even if they are within the ‘normal’ ranges. Please be aware that just because your results are within the normal ranges that does not mean you are free of symptoms. The ranges are overly broad and with the assistance from Megyn, as a skilled Nutritional Biochemist, identifying low-normal or high-normal results can be a key indicator that there is something going on that needs specialist attention.
What conditions do you work with?
With such a vast range of clinical experience, from general healthy eating to assisting with:
eating disorders,
emotional & intuitive eating,
hormonal imbalances & conditions,
a range of women’s health concerns such as PCOS, endometriosis, irregularities within the menstrual cycle,
all stages of reproduction from fertility, IVF & ART, pregnancy, postpartum recovery and repletion,
dietary allergies and intolerances,
gut conditions (IBS, crohns, coeliacs, FODMAP, etc),
paediatric nutrition from failure to thrive to fussy eating, meeting growth/nutrient requirements and disordered eating for teenagers, sports nutrition, and so much more!
Our core values are based on a non-diet approach framework and will work with you on incorporating a balanced diet while also listening to your body and choosing foods that work for your individual needs. We strongly believe this encourages and maintains a healthy relationship with food and your body.
Can I use my Private Health Insurance?
We sure can. However, we have no way of checking your own nutrition coverage. We will provide you with a detailed receipt after your consult so you can forward it on to your private health insurance provider to claim your benefits. We are accredited providers for many funds including HBF, CUA and AHM but please be aware that they are rolling out ongoing changes due to telehealth provisions during lockdowns and we are not held liable for any changes they may issue in terms of your coverage. We recommended you confirm with them prior to booking your appointments.
