Hi there!
I’m Tessa, some of you may recognise me from behind reception at the gym, teaching group fitness or running coffees at Loaded Co; however, the other hat I wear is that I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Nutritionist! I completed my Bachelors of Exercise and Nutrition Science in 2018 and graduated with a Masters of Dietetic Studies from The University of Queensland in 2020.
I have always had an interest in exercise and nutrition since I was a teenager and my own health journey has led me to be incredibly passionate about helping others to build healthy relationships with food and nutrition. I work with my clients to develop evidenced-based individualised strategies to create healthy habits in order to reach your goals and harness the best version of you!
I currently enjoy working in the areas of:
- Weight management (including weight loss or muscle gain)
- Chronic and degenerative disease management
- Gut health
- IBS
- Women’s health
- General healthy eating and advice
What happens in an appointment?
Initial consultation last 45 – 60 minutes and involves discussing:
- Your health and nutrition related goals and what you want to get out of the session
- Any relevant current or previous medical history
- Any diet-related symptoms or concerns
- Your current lifestyle and commitments
- Your normal eating patterns and dietary intake
Review consultations last 30 minutes and involve:
- Check-in with your plan and making any needed adjustments
- Discussing your successes and any barriers or difficulties you experienced
- Taking measurements to track progress
- Help keep you accountable!
Complimentary phone calls (new clients only) are available if you are still unsure whether you are ready to make an appointment and would like to have a short 15-minute chat about your own personal health concerns and/or goals and how I could help you with food and nutrition.
Fees:
- Initial consultation – $110
- Review consultation – $70
- Bulk-billing available for those with a chronic disease management plan from their GP
Private health rebates are provided by most Private Health Funds for visits to APDs depending on your level of health cover.
