Consultations with Clinical Nutritionist Maria Allerton

Maria Allerton is a highly experienced Clinical Nutritionist passionate about her work and fully committed to optimising your health.

True healing takes time- there are no magic pills! Restoring your health is a commitment. Please note, Maria now only sees patients who are ‘complex cases’ and are ready and committed to working together closely to resolve their health concerns over a period of at least 3 months. Following the initial consult, your commitment is a minimum 3 month consultation package (details below). All consults are via Zoom. Maria regularly works with clients from Australia, NZ, USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Spain, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria and many others.

STEP 1:  Initial Session is 1 hour 15 mins in duration (AUD$425, approx US$289). Payable upon making a booking. 

• This includes time for Maria to review your intake form and previous test results prior to the session, as well as 15-30 mins spent by Maria after the session to organise any testing, supplement recommendations and treatment plan.
• During this session, we review your health history, current symptoms and concerns as well as lifestyle and dietary habits and discuss your health goals. We formulate a strategy together that will address each of your health goals. We will agree together on a general treatment plan to be reviewed and refined at the follow up consultations. Appropriate handouts/reading materials as well as food guides will also be provided.
• Maria prides herself on being able to quickly put together the 'puzzle pieces' of your health conditions and symptoms and get to the root causes. Maria often uncovers issues and test findings that previous practitioners have missed and puts together a detailed action plan. You will have a clear path forward after the initial consultation.
• Prior to the consultation, you will receive an email with a health history questionnaire and a 3 day food diary. These should be completed and emailed back at least 24h prior to the appointment – this facilitates a more in-depth consultation and frees up time during the consult to work on the treatment plan. Please note ALL parts of the intake form including the 3 day food diary must be completed.
• Maria regularly asks patients to conduct blood testing (usually via their GP/physician) and orders various functional medicine tests (hair, stool or saliva) that provide information that allows her to identify the underlying causes of health issues and resolve them through having scientific data about your health. This approach avoids guesswork and yields effective results.
• Nutritional supplements are also prescribed- Maria prescribes and provides directly to you -practitioner only brands that contain ingredients at therapeutic doses and are of the highest quality (for Australian and NZ clients). For US and other countries, Maria will provide recommendations for supplements for you to source. These are always personalised for your needs.

To book your initial consultation, pls complete THIS FORM and Maria will be in touch within 48 hours with appointment time options.

STEP 2: Three Months Follow up Package (AUD $990, approx US$675). Payable within 48h after the initial consult.

Usually the first follow up appointment is 3-4 weeks after the initial. Then every 3-4 weeks depending on your needs. The follow up sessions include: review of test results, detailed dietary plans and treatment. As part of your treatment package you will receive:

• Three 45-60 min sessions with Maria over 3-4 months
• Detailed treatment plan outlining all aspects that will lead to recovery
• Supplement prescriptions (reviewed at each consult)
• Personalised food guide tailored to your needs, food preferences and condition
• Helpful handouts about your condition/treatment
• Other tools to help achieve your health goals
• Email communication between consults
• Priority booking in my calendar to ensure you never have to wait for weeks for an appointment

Please notes all functional medicine tests and supplements are extra/not covered by the program. There are no added GST tax charges for consultations. Health fund rebates may apply, please check with your insurance provider.

STEP 3: Ongoing support - after the 3 month package:

These include: Gilbert's Syndrome, CIRS, Detoxification, Pyroluria, Methylation issues, Autism spectrum disorders and Autoimmune conditions as well as others. For ongoing support, you can book in a 30 or 45 min appointment in her calendar after the 3 months package as needed.   Follow up appointment pricing: For Australian clients: 30min follow up: AUD$159, 45min follow up: AUD$209 For International clients: 30 min follow up: AUD$199, 45 min follow up: AUD$279
