How we’ll work together
Free 10-minute telehealth call
Tell Courtney what has been happening, what you would like help with and what you have already tried. You’ll discuss whether clinical nutrition support is a good fit and the most appropriate next step.
In-Depth Initial Consultation
During your 60-minute video consultation, Courtney will explore your symptoms, health history, current diet, lifestyle and goals. Pathology or functional testing may be discussed when it could meaningfully guide your care.
Where useful, Courtney can provide a letter for your GP outlining relevant blood-test requests. Your GP will decide which tests are clinically appropriate and eligible for Medicare.
Your Personalised Nutrition Plan
Receive clear priorities for what to focus on first, next and later. Your plan may include practical food strategies, chef-created recipes, carefully selected supplements and an optional personalised meal plan.
Review, Adjust and Keep Progressing
Follow-up consultations provide time to review your progress, track relevant symptoms and goals, troubleshoot challenges and adjust your recommendations as your needs change. Repeat testing is only considered when it would provide useful information.
From kitchen to clinic
I have been a chef since I was 17, working across restaurants, aged care, weddings, pastry production and more. Food has always been my world, but my interest in clinical nutrition became personal when I began dealing with PCOS symptoms, significant weight gain and prediabetic health markers.
Changing the way I ate helped me lose a substantial amount of weight, ease my symptoms and improve my health markers. But I wanted to understand why those changes worked, not simply follow another short-term plan. That led me to complete a Bachelor of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition.
Today, I combine formal clinical nutrition training with more than 12 years of experience as a chef. My clients receive evidence-informed guidance, realistic food strategies and recipes that are designed to be cooked and enjoyed in real life.
My job is to make nutrition feel clearer, more practical and far less overwhelming, so you can stop guessing and start making changes that genuinely fit your life.
