Meet the founder of The Digestion Co.
Michelle is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Sports Dietitian who lives in Perth, Western Australia.
Michelle’s experience of living with coeliac disease allows her to understand the frustrations, overwhelm and isolation that can be experienced by someone with a gastrointestinal condition. For this reason, The Digestion Co. was created so that people like you can feel more confident and take back control of their gut health. Michelle brings a unique lived experience to her approach. She delivers empathetic, practical and judgement-free support to all of her clients.
When Michelle isn’t in clinic helping The Digestion Co. community, she can be found at a local fun run or with her labradoodle, Donny.
The Digestion Co. is a virtual clinic.
We help people from all over Australia.
FAQs
What are the appointment types?
Initial Appointment
This appointment will take 60 minutes. We use this time to conduct our assessment of your medical, social and diet history. We also want to get to know you and understand your goals and motivations. Don’t stress, we’ll keep it fun!
Follow Up Appointments
We spend 45 minutes with you during follow-up appointments. We will guide you through problem-solving, keep you accountable and listen to your feedback regarding what has been working well for you and what hasn’t been. As always, this is a judgement-free zone and we address all concerns with compassion.
Can I claim dietitian appointments through Medicare or Private health?
Medicare
To be eligible to claim a Medicare rebate, you need to have a current Chronic Disease GP Management plan. This plan needs to be referred directly to “The Digestion Co,” and outline the allocated visits to a dietitian.
Please ensure that we have a copy of your care plan. We will provide you with an invoice for you to submit to Medicare to claim your rebate.
We are not a bulk billing practice.
Private health fund
If you wish to claim through Private Health, we recommend contacting your private health fund prior to your appointment to ensure you’re covered. Different health funds will offer different rebates depending on your fund and the level of cover. We will provide you with an invoice at the end of your appointment for you to submit to your private health fund.
How does a virtual clinic work?
Once you book your appointment online, you will receive an email with your Telehealth appointment link. At the time of your appointment, click the link to be taken to your appointment. It’s that easy! No additional software or apps are required.
Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?
You do not require a GP referral to come and see our dietitian.
If you refer a friend or family member to The Digestion Co., we will gift you a $20 credit voucher as a “thank you,” to be used towards any future appointments.
How do I pay for my appointments?
We process payments electronically.
Upon booking an appointment with us, we kindly ask for your bank details so that payment can be processed at the end of your appointment. These details are safeguarded using the Halaxy card capture feature.
