Travelling to appointments can be time consuming.

In person nutritional counselling is a great option.  So is phone or Skype counselling.

You can choose to have your initial session in person, then switch to phone or Skype, or do everything from a distance (or in person) from day one. Either way, we will email or mail you supportive info after each appointment.

Saving travel time to appointments can be applied to cooking, meal planning, exercise, self care, play and fun.
