Energy to perform

Our experienced nutritionist is here to help you with all your nutrition needs including performance and competition nutrition, eating to optimise energy, healthy eating and disease prevention through nutrition.

An initial appointment with our nutritionist will include a diet and body composition assessment, providing you with a nutrition summary and the appropriate resources to achieve your personal nutritional goals. Analysis includes lifestyle factors, food preferences and budget.

Generally two appointments are required for assessment and programming, although on-going follow up is available for continued monitoring, adjustment of diet and on-going support when needed.
