If you’ve ever wondered what to expect in a dietitian appointment, you’re not alone. Many people are unsure how personalised nutrition counselling works or what happens when you work with an online dietitian.


At Sage Dietitians, our appointments are designed to be supportive, practical, and tailored to real life. Here’s what working with our dietitians looks like, step by step.




Free Discovery Call With a Dietitian


Your journey begins with a free 15-minute discovery call, held online.

This initial call helps you decide if working with a dietitian is the right fit for you. During the call, we will:


  • Discuss your health and nutrition goals

  • Talk through your current challenges

  • Explain how we can support you

  • Help you choose the best next step


These free discovery calls are confidential, relaxed, and completely pressure-free.




Initial Dietitian Appointment 


Your first appointment is a 60-minute online consultation focused on understanding you as a whole person.


We will cover:

  • Your nutrition and health goals

  • Medical history

  • Medications and supplements

  • Relevant blood test results

  • Activity levels

  • Usual eating patterns

  • Previous approaches you’ve tried

  • What your day-to-day life looks like


This allows us to provide evidence-based nutrition counselling that is realistic and achievable.




Your Personalised Nutrition Plan


After your appointment, you will receive a personalised nutrition plan emailed directly to you.


Your plan is created after the session so it is never rushed. It is tailored to:


  • Your goals

  • Your lifestyle and schedule

  • Your food preferences

  • What feels manageable and sustainable for you


This personalised approach ensures your nutrition plan fits into your real life.




Review Dietitian Appointments  


Following your initial consultation, we recommend booking review dietitian appointments to continue your progress.


Review appointments are 30 minutes, are held online and help us:


  • Adjust your nutrition plan as your needs change

  • Work through challenges and setbacks

  • Provide accountability and ongoing support


Review frequency is flexible. Some clients book weekly, while others prefer fortnightly or monthly sessions.




Support Between Dietitian Appointments


When working with an online dietitian in Australia, support between sessions is just as important.


Between appointments, you can:


  • Email your dietitian with questions as they arise

  • Access optional weekly email check-ins for added structure and accountability


You are supported throughout your journey, not just during appointments.




Our Evidence-Based, Weight-Neutral Approach


At Sage Dietitians, our approach is:


  • Evidence-based

  • Weight-neutral and non-restrictive

  • Practical and supportive

  • Designed to fit real life


We focus on sustainable change, not perfection.
