Follow-up 30 Minute Consultations:
Follow up consultations are typically booked 6 weeks following the initial consult and then on an as needed basis. These ½ hr. consultations are scheduled to assess how your child is progressing. During this time we will review your goals and set new ones if needed. Together, we will discuss the nutritional plan, identify areas that require more support, and make any changes if necessary. Again, you will leave with an updated nutritional plan for your child that is clear, straightforward and easy to implement.
