- Email support between consultations – $2 per minute. This can be used if you have any new questions between consultations – for example if you’d like to adjust your treatment or would like my input about something. If a question is to clarify something already discussed in a consultation (eg. dosing information), there is no charge.
- Treatment plan changes between consultations – $20 flat fee. This is only used for small changes. This covers my time choosing supplement/s, updating your prescription in Vital.ly and your treatment plan.

Changes or cancellations to consultation bookings require a minimum of 24 hours otherwise 30% of the fee is payable. As a small business owner, I appreciate your understanding.
Pathology and Supplement Costs
- Pathology testing (eg. blood, stool, urine) is often required to confirm a nutritional diagnosis and/or to monitor treatment. These costs are not included in consultation fees – costs will be provided to you up front.
- Nutritional supplements are prescribed if appropriate, but only if absolutely needed. Costs for supplements are available via the relevant website (eg. Vital.ly or iHerb) – costs are not included in consultation fees. If a supplement is ordered by me specifically for you, payment must be made upfront.
- Prescription repeats are only available to ongoing clients who have an appointment every 2-3 months.
- No refund is available after pathology or supplements are ordered/purchased.
- If you require an individualised meal plan or a written pathology interpretation (eg. for organic acids or comprehensive stool testing), this can be provided at additional cost as these take time to prepare outside of consultations, based on your needs and personal preferences. High quality standardised meal plans are also available.
