Food Intolerance and Gastrointestinal Health - If you are experiencing bloating, excess wind, gas, abdominal discomfort, constipation or diarrhoea or have been diagnosed with IBS, there is a chance you have a food sensitivity or mal absorption issue that is the cause for your symptoms. I can help you work out which specific foods may be the problem and show you how to remove them from your diet without compromising your nutritional intake.

Nutrition for Pregnancy - If you are pregnant, or thinking about becoming pregnant, there are a number of dietary considerations you need to be aware of. Michelle will discuss all these with you and show you how to ensure your diet is optimal for the development of your unborn child and for yourself.

Insulin Resistance & High Cholesterol - Michelle can guide you on the best food choices for your condition and provide a diet plan to help bring you back to optimal health and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Weight Loss - Michelle believes that the key to successful weight loss and ongoing health is related to establishing healthy eating habits. She doesn’t believe in fad diets that exclude important nutrients from the diet. Michelle will provide a personlised eating plan that caters for your individual constitution. Fat burning nutrients can also be provided to help with initial weight loss.

Anxiety, Depression & Fatigue - sub optimal nutrition can have a negative impact on neurotransmitter production. After completing an extensive interview Michelle will give dietary, nutritional and lifestyle advice to help you get back on track.
