Get Started with an Initial Nutrition Consultation
Whether you've been referred by a friend, your doctor, or just found us online, we look forward to serving you. Use the information below to get started, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a call or message us.
Step 1: Choose a Virtual or In-person Appointment
We are available to do consultations via the telephone, Google Meet Video, and in person at our main office in St. Augustine or at Premier Heart Care in Woodbrook.
Step 2: Choose a Standard or Comprehensive Nutrition Consultation
Our Standard Nutrition Consultation is a great way to focus on one specific health challenge and get advice about what to eat in order to better manage your chronic health condition. This consultation lasts 45 - 60 minutes. Our Comprehensive Consultation offers an opportunity to take a wholistic nutrition and lifestyle approach to rebuilding your health and fitness. This consultation lasts 60 minutes and includes a personalised meal plan that is sent to you a few days after this initial assessment.
Step 3: Complete Your Assessment Questionnaire
Once you have your first appointment scheduled, you will be emailed 2 online forms to complete, - a Health Assessment Questionnaire, and a 3-Day Food Diary. Please take a few minutes to fill in your responses to these online forms, at least 24 hours before your appointment. This will help us get to know you a little and prepare for our first session. If you prefer a paper-based version of the Assessment Questionnaire, contact us to receive one via email that you can print and bring to your session.
Step 4: Let's Meet - What to Expect
During this initial assessment, we will discuss your history, current eating behaviors and food preferences, challenges, your goals and motivation. We will assess your body composition, nutritional status, and areas needing improvement. Then, we will make recommendations to get you started with making changes to your diet, provide educational resources to help your learn key information, and create a personalised plan of action to meet your goals and needs. You will receive meal ideas, learning resources, and worksheets to help you make your goals a reality. Additional testing may be recommended or referrals to other medical practitioners made. We ask that you show up to your appointment on time. If for any reason you are unable to keep your appointment, there is a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel your appointment less than 24 hours before your confirmed appointment time, you will be charged a 50% cancellation fee.

High Cholesterol
"I have dropped 3 dress sizes.
My posture has improved, I get up the stairs at work so breezily now. Two years ago, I would climb one flight and be breathless.
I am so proud of how much I have achieved. It wasn’t about what I lost but all about what I gained: my self respect, the belief that I am valuable, more energy to be an enthusiastic teacher, a loving mom and wife and a good friend and the ability to find something to wear in my closet for any event, any time."

“I was really in a bad place when I decided that I had to take charge of my health. I was 60 lbs overweight, my blood sugar was out of control, and my blood pressure was high even on meds. Mweia is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about what she does. With their support, I was able to lose the weight, keep it off, and reduce my medications from six drugs to two".
