What Our Customers Say
The Initial Consultation
An initial consultation will take fifty to sixty minutes.
We will begin with a complete assessment where you will be asked about your medical and family history, recent blood tests, medications, supplements, gut health, skin health, physical activity levels, and your current diet.
Following this, realistic and achievable changes for you to make to your diet and lifestyle will be discussed. A dietary and lifestyle plan, based on the above information, will be devised. This acts as a starting point to guide you in a healthier direction.
Completing the food diary and medical questionnaire prior to your initial appointment will helps us to get the most from your scheduled appointment time.

You do no need to go through the GP. The GP reception can provide this information which your GP can sign off on if needed.
Containers of nutritional supplements are needed as there are 1000s of nutritional supplements on the current market and it can be difficult in clinic to find the actual nutritional content of these supplements without looking at the containers they come in.

No, you do not need a referral to make an appointment. However, having a copy of any recent blood results and a list of current medications would be useful for a more comprehensive assessment.
Can I claim fees back from health insurance?
Yes, I am a member of the Irish Nutrition and Dietetics Institute, recognised by health insurers. Receipts are issued after every consultation. Check with your health insurer to see if these are covered on your policy. If these are covered take a picture of your receipt then upload it to your member area on your insurer's website. Your insurer will then process the claim and you will receive a refund within five days.
Can I claim tax back?
You can claim tax relief at the standard rate of 20% on qualifying medical expenses, including fees paid to a CORU registered dietitian. This means that if you spend €100 on a consultation with a registered dietitian, you can claim back €20 in tax relief. The MED1 form is no longer used to claim tax back on medical expenses in Ireland.
The process has been streamlined, and you can now claim tax relief on medical expenses directly through the Revenue Online Service (ROS) or by using the myAccount service on the Revenue website.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Log in to myAccount: If you haven’t already registered, you’ll need to do so. This service is available on the Revenue website.
- Go to 'Tax Credits and Reliefs': Once logged in, select this option.
- Select 'Health': Under the 'Health' section, you’ll find the option to claim tax back for medical expenses.
- Enter your expenses: You’ll need to provide details of your qualifying medical expenses for the year. Be sure to have receipts or proof of payment, as you may be asked to submit these.
- Submit your claim: After entering the required information, submit your claim. Revenue will process your claim, and any tax relief will be applied.
Revenue will usually allow claims for the previous four years, so you can still claim for expenses incurred in those years if you haven't done so already.
