What Happens During an Initial Consultation
If you are considering a nutrition consultation, you might be wondering what to expect. This article walks through what happens during an initial consultation at Leaf & Logic NutriShift.
Before the consultation
Before your appointment, you will receive information about the consultation process. You do not need to prepare anything in particular, but it can help to think about what you would like to get out of the session.
The consultation format
An initial consultation runs for approximately 75 minutes. It is available online, by telephone, in-person or travel-to-client, depending on what suits you best.
During the consultation, Cora will take the time to understand your situation, your routine and what you would like to work on. There is no one-size-fits-all approach — the session is tailored to your needs.
What is covered
During an initial consultation, Cora will typically ask about your current eating routine and food preferences, discuss your goals and what you would like to achieve, talk through any challenges you are facing with food or meal planning, look at practical ways to make everyday nutrition simpler and more manageable, and discuss practical next steps and resources that might be useful.
The focus is on practical, realistic guidance — not rigid rules or restrictive plans.
A practical, conversational approach
The consultation is a conversation, not a lecture. You are encouraged to ask questions, share what is and is not working, and discuss what kind of support would be most useful.
Cora's approach is practical and tailored to real life. She does not prescribe strict meal plans or promote restrictive eating. Instead, she helps you find practical strategies that fit your household, budget and routine.
What to bring
You do not need to bring anything specific to your consultation. If you keep a food diary or have specific questions written down, that can be helpful — but it is not essential. Just come as you are.
After the consultation
After the initial consultation, you will have a clearer sense of practical next steps. Some people choose to book a follow-up consultation to review progress and adjust their approach. Others find that a single session gives them enough to work with.
A comfortable, supportive environment
Cora aims to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you can talk openly about food and nutrition. There is no judgement — just practical guidance designed to help you feel more confident around everyday food choices.
