Consultation Overview
Sessions are “all-about-you”, and in your duration and time frequency. Charges are per visit, but there are options for a package deal for longer term weight loss intentions, since research suggests that frequent monitoring achieves more consistent and maintained lifestyle change.
Group talks for general nutritional topics can be arranged.
