Thank You

If you were happy with your consultations and wondered how to say thank you, the best way is by sending a referral our way and mentioning us to your health care team!

Dietitians can help manage and prevent the progression of a range of health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, weight management, bowel conditions such as IBS, IBD, Coeliac Disease or reflux, food allergies, food intolerances, fussy eating, nutrition deficiencies, vegan or vegetarian.

We know that managing our health has a huge impact on the way we feel.  We believe everyone deserves to get the best help to get the most out of life so we are always more than happy to help!

VARIATIONS

Vegetables – You can swap out the onion, mushrooms, capsicum, spinach, cherry tomatoes and/or baby spinach for any other vegetables like shallot, leek, grated or finely diced carrot or zucchini, rocket or bok choy. 

Spices – This can be made with an Italian flavour by swapping the cumin and smoked paprika for basil and mixed herbs. Or you can leave the spices out.
