Louise provides weight-inclusive nutrition counselling for clients presenting with eating, weight or body concerns. There is no prescriptive diet plan, nor a focus on weight loss but rather an emphasis on discovering what lies beneath eating habits and a prescription of self compassion.

Louise is available for face to face consultations at the following locations across Melbourne –

 

13 Keilor Road, Essendon

Suite 29, 5 Everage Street, Moonee Ponds

 

Initial Consultation:

 

Similar to the process of counselling, the initial session involves getting to know each other in order to build trust and foster a relationship. So that Louise can best understand your relationship with food and your body, she will ask questions and go into a detailed diet history to uncover any patterns of emotional eating, binge eating or previous unhealthy weight loss behaviours. She is aware of barriers and inequities that can make change difficult, and will work alongside you with these. 

 

Review Consultation:

 

Most of the time, the initial appointment can only cover the very basics, it just scratches the surface. Review appointments continue uncovering your food and eating backstory, and provide guidance and support around moving forward. Nutrition education is provided on the dangers of dieting and restriction, importance of regular eating, normalising all foods, appetite awareness, and of course diet-culture and weight stigma.

The frequency of review appointments is discussed at the initial session. 

 

Fees:

 

Initial Consultation $160

Review Consultation - Ranging From $95 - $125
