Nutritional Therapy Consultation Services in Letchworth, Hertfordshire
I typically offer Nutritional Therapy to clients from my clinic space at Studio 180 in Letchworth (or elsewhere in Letchworth if you require an accessible visit). Alternatively, I can occasionally visit clients at home or in their office, up to a reasonable distance. For follow-up consults, I’m happy to do by phone – or preferably online.
Initial nutrition consultations: £139
I will ask you to complete a diet and activity diary prior to your appointment to help establish your health goals, medical conditions, and eating habits. The first consult includes a thorough diet analysis where I feed back to you where your diet might be missing or low in various nutrients and the impact that may be having on various aspects of your health. This initial appointment lasts approx 90 mins and will result in a practical and delicious food and lifestyle plan and also includes a supplements/medication check. Your nutrition plan is sent to you the same day or the following day.
My fees include any research I do on your behalf, as well as ongoing email support to keep you motivated and your therapy on track, in between appointments. Please note there is a 15% discount for Carers’ first consultation showing their Hertfordshire Carers’ Passport Card Scheme – available from Carers in Herts. If you choose a package, I will honour the £20.50 Carers’ Card discount off of the price of the first package price you buy – regardless of the number of sessions you purchase at that time.
Follow-up nutrition consultations: £79
Includes a complete review of progress, agreement as to the next steps plus practical suggestions for meeting those nutrition and health goals. Allow approx 50-60 minutes.
Ongoing reviews: Shorter reviews will be scheduled for clients undergoing a longer nutrition programme. Where appropriate, 30 minute reviews are £45.
Laboratory tests are extra, are performed by professional third party laboratories. Tests offered can include gut microbiome testing, digestive function assessments, gut parasite testing, stress and adrenal health testing, Vitamin D testing, blood tests for iron and other nutrients, DNA stool testing, male and female hormone panels including thyroid panels, among others – Nutritional Testing.
Initial breastfeeding nutrition consultation for mothers whose babies are 6 months+ and on solid food: £159, follow-up £89
These cost more as Sarah devises a nutrition plan for both mum’s and baby’s nutrition, taking into account both their nutritional needs.
Nutrition consultation packages according to individual requirements
Package of 3 Consultations: £265 (£36 saving on pay as you go) Includes one initial consultation & 2×1 hr follow-ups, or 4 x 30min follow-ups.
Package of 6 Consultations: £485 (£49 saving on pay as you go) Includes one initial consultation and 5x1hr follow-ups, or 10 x 30 min follow-ups.
I highly recommend a package option, as it reinforces your commitment to following the agreed nutrition plan. This usually means you are more likely to get the results you are seeking! My most successful clients are typically those that see me regularly.
Ongoing consultation fee packages (for clients who have had their initial consultation)
Package of 3 consultations: £209 (£28 saving on pay as you go) Includes 3 follow-up consultations, or 6 x 30min follow-ups.
Package of 6 Consultations: £429 (£45 saving on pay as you go) Includes 6 follow-up consultations, or 12 x 30 min follow-ups.
Package consults must be used within 4 months (for 3 consults) or 7 months (for a 6 consult package), with the exception of the Healthy Menopause Programme.
Package fees are not transferable or refundable.
Fees do not include supplements or referrals, where suggested. You will receive 15% off any nutritional supplements that I suggest. The recommended supplements are practitioner-grade – meaning they typically come in higher or more absorbable doses, or are ‘food-state’ – that is they come as part of a food source. It is essential that you make your GP and or consultant aware of all nutritional supplements you are taking if you have a condition, or if you are on medication.
Prices valid from all sessions booked from 19th April 2024.
Brand new! Nutrition with Health Coaching
Behind the scenes, Sarah has been working hard to become a Zest Certified Health Coach. Coaching can be helpful with or without Nutritional Therapy to help clients achieve their health and wellbeing goals.
Initial client feedback suggests these are enjoyable and rewarding sessions. Coaching offers clients tailored advice and encouragement – in a supportive environment – to clients wishing to improve their health, for example by improving how you deal with stress, helping you to increase exercise, and of course improving the diet! I provide education, motivation, and a supportive environment to enable clients to make enduring lifestyle changes. If you would like more information, please subscribe to the newsletter using the box on the right of the page.
Prices are the same as Nutritional Therapy. Much of the time, I use Health Coaching techniques within my nutritional therapy sessions to help a client reach their health or weight goal, or any other goal, but we still use nutrition education. More info coming soon.
Weekly Meal Plans
Bespoke weekly meal plans are available for an additional fee. I can design these for your particular needs including weight loss, heart health and food restrictions, including gluten, food intolerances or allergies, low-oxalate diets, low histamine diet – or for those who simply prefer that the task of weekly meal planning fell to someone else!
Sarah + Client Meal Planning Sessions
This is a joint session lasting between 45-60 mins where we discuss your favourite foods and what you’d like in a meal pan, we discuss specific recipes. This can really help the client who has got a bit ‘stuck’ with meal planning and who is finding themselves making less healthy choices as a result. This session is typically given as part of a nutrition package.
Gift Vouchers (Pls enquire for last order date for Mother’s day, Christmas, etc)
Gift vouchers for nutrition sessions are available year round. Please get in touch to discuss personalising your gift card. Vouchers can be for any amount from £25 upwards with a £1.50 charge for P&P within England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Expiry date is *6 months* from the date of purchase except where a 6-session package has been purchased and you get a little longer.
Nutrition Seminars / Webinars
Please contact me with your company’s objectives and to discuss pricing. I have given talks to organisations and charities in the Hertfordshire area and also via Zoom to more distant organisations on a variety of topics including Mood + Food, Understanding the Menopause and nutrition to support a Healthy Menopause, Better Bones – Can We Prevent Osteoporosis?, Eating Healthily in Lockdown, Supporting the Immune System, and the Importance of Vitamin D. Seminars can be adapted to your needs. They are interactive, inspiring and are based on scientific evidence.
Nutrition Talks for 2024 are expected to include the following topics: Eating Healthily on a Budget, Better Bones, Healthy Ageing, Eating for a Healthy Menopause…. more on nutrition seminars. I am also a nutrition course trainer for the ‘caba’ charity. caba supports the wellbeing of the chartered accounting community with training, workshops, as well as personal, legal and financial services.
Nutrition Articles & Factsheets
I have written articles on supporting mental health using nutrition.
I can typically turnaround a 1000 word article in 3-4 days – depending on the topic. I can write final copy for nutrition pieces or guest edit nutrition or food articles.
Please contact me for further information and prices, and some sample copy.
Cancellation policy
I understand that there may be unavoidable reasons for cancellation such as illness, and in these circumstances I will always reschedule nutritional therapy appointments at no charge, even at relatively short notice. *However, if the appointment is cancelled within 24 hours, a 50% cancellation fee applies. This helps to cover the clinic fee – and the prep work I have already done on your behalf.*
