Initial consultations are for NEW clients. We discuss your current and past health, lifestyle, mental health, diet, etc. You will receive food guidance, supplement prescriptions, and herbal tinctures as needed. Pathology referrals are also issued when appropriate. Please note that Medicare will not cover these services.
Follow-up consultations are how we check in on your progress and adjust your plan as needed. The standard follow-up appointment is 20 minutes long, but different times and prices are available for shorter or longer sessions. If you need a quick check-in or have acute questions, choose a 10-minute ($50) consultation time. If you have not had a consult for longer than 6 months, you may need a longer follow-up of 45 mins ($150). Consultations with Anna-Maria are time-dependent. You will be charged based on the time spent on your consultation.
Ideal for anyone who know they need more comprehensive and ongoing support, and would like to save money. This does not include an initial consult. The package of $495 will be payable at your first consultation and receipts emailed for your health fund rebate after each appointment. Save $100!
You can have a consultation at your convenience, at home, at the office, or anywhere in the world. I will contact you at your scheduled appointment time, and after your consultation, I email all your notes and instructions so you have everything right away. Pathology referrals can also be emailed or posted to you as needed. Any supplements I recommend will be available via a simple patient order link that will post your supplements directly to your home or office. Herbal tonics will be made by myself, and I will post these to you with the courier the same or the next day.
When you book your consultation time, you can specify how you would like your online consult - via phone or Zoom. Just add it to your booking. Your personal meeting link will be in your calendar booking invitation.
Payments are required at the time of your consultation, and a tax receipt will be emailed to you right away. Payments are processed via the secure payment platform Stripe, or you can make a bank transfer. Private health funds do not offer rebates on online consultations at this stage. You can book an Initial online consultation here and a Follow-Up consultation here.

Yes, I will always try to accommodate your schedule the best I can. Email me with your preferred date and time and I will help you if I can.
Supplements vary a great deal in pricing anywhere from $10-$100+. I have a general policy of never prescribing more than 3 supplements to ensure cost efficiency and also general compliance. I also believe that supplements are not to be taken forever. Most often supplements are needed to rectify a deficiency or supply a need for a certain period of time in your life (such as pregnancy or whilst recovering from surgery) occasionally some supplements are needed for long-term use (such as chronic illness or genetic conditions)
Herbal tonics are most often given in one of two sizes: 200ml $60.00 or 500ml $150.00 typically lasting 2-5 weeks. I use a courier to deliver your herbal tonics quick and safely.
Yes, I can issue you a pathology referral to Laverty Pathology (Australia only) via post or email that you can take directly to the pathology lab. Due to the time required to issue your referral, there is a charge of $30/referral when done outside a consultation. Occasionally I may suggest we have a quick follow up (10min) via the phone so I can ensure you get the correct tests.
Great! You can email me anytime and tell me what you need. If you just need a top-up of your current prescriptions just let me know. If you haven't had a consultation for a while I may need to have a short consultation (in person or over the phone) to make sure I give you the correct formula. In any case, start by sending me an email.
Yes, if you have any previous tests (pathology results, stool tests, allergy tests, genetic tests etc) please email these to me prior to your appointment. This will allow for a more comprehensive and in-depth appointment and save you time. Please note that a fee may apply to the time I spend going through your test results. $20 per 20minutes. You will be notified if this fee applies to you before it is commenced.
Yes, 24 hours notice is required for cancellations otherwise, the full fee will be charged. No refunds on services. A late 50% rescheduling fee may be applied if you reschedule or forget your consultation.
