Taking a sustainable approach to your wellness

If you want to make healthy, sustainable and positive changes in your health through simple lifestyle and behaviour changes, a consultation at Vitality Lifestyle Medicine is right for you .

Our difference

What makes Vitality Lifestyle Medicine different?

I started Vitality Lifestyle Medicine after years of seeing patients living with chronic health problems who didn’t feel well despite using the most up-to-date medications. They wanted to get the most out of their lives, yet they didn't know how to achieve the holistic health they were looking for.

I noticed this most over the Covid years. Often stuck at home and without their usual routines, my patients had more time to reflect on their health and what they value most. Many discovered they had been so busy with the business of life they had entirely neglected their well-being. With my support, goal-setting and encouragement, they found that holistic well-being isn’t complicated and is achievable for anyone.

Chronic health issues are primarily caused by dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors. With knowledge and guidance, you have the power to steer your health in the right direction. Changing our routines can be daunting, but if nothing changes, nothing changes, so you do have to be prepared to review the habits that aren’t serving your health. At Vitality Lifestyle Medicine, I offer personalised appointments to explore your concerns and create an evidence-based action plan based on your health goals.

During your appointment

During your face-to-face appointment at Vitality, we’ll start by discussing your health and goals. In our session, we’ll address your concerns, perform any needed check-ups, and create a personalised plan. I’ll support you with follow-ups and regular check-ins to help you stay on track with your health journey.

Assessment

Before your appointment, I will email you a detailed questionnaire to assess your health, medical history, lifestyle habits, and health goals. I will review your questionnaire before your appointment so we can hit the ground running!

During your initial one-hour appointment, we can discuss your concerns in detail, and if needed, I can perform a physical examination and order any relevant tests. If you have any recent test results, please email them before your appointment.

Goal Setting

Together, we create a personalised plan so you can start implementing healthy lifestyle changes immediately. This plan will cover any areas relevant to you, including nutrition, movement, sleep habits, stress management, help reducing risky substances and social connectedness. I like using the ‘Healthy Habits’ app created by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Feel free to check it out before your appointment at https://healthyhabits.racgp.org.au/apps/.

Action Plan

My mission is to offer you practical and sustainable strategies to incorporate into your life NOW so you can be (and stay) the healthiest, happiest version of yourself. You are in the driver’s seat; you control the changes you make. I'm here to provide expert advice, guidance, and support along your journey.

Support and monitoring

I recommend a follow-up appointment lasting 40 minutes within four weeks of your first appointment. We can discuss test results and review your lifestyle plan. I can also discuss the need for further appointments with you at that time. You may benefit from a short-term, monthly, 15-minute face-to-face or Telehealth appointment for ongoing support to reach your health goals. If you wish, I will provide a letter to your regular GP to inform them of your treatment plan.
