Anca Vereen: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Anca approach to healing is gentle, knowledgeable and supportive. She ensures you are comfortable during your sessions and have you feeling lighter in your heart/body.
Fantastic experience: Anca has helped me to improve my gut health. I was not able to digest food properly and always had gut issues but after consulting Anca it has improved by more than 90%. she is very knowledgeable and helps to improve your lifestyle and health. Thank you Anca for your support and I highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Highly Recommended. Anca works at multiple levels for health and wellbeing individually tailored to the person's needs. In my case I'd gained significant weight post-covid and exacerbated sleep apnea. Things were Chronic to the point where I could not drive more than 20 minutes and had trouble concentrating with work. This was compounded by grief having lost my wife not that long ago. She tailored an eating, supplement and coaching plan, listened attentively that helped me work from the inside out, gut health, fitness and weight management, in an encouraging and positive approach - teaching me "how to fish rather than giving me things to eat" and get back on my feet. Anca requested bloodwork, working with my GP and tailored supplements accordingly. Having a regular consult has resulted in huge improvements in quality of life, emotional as well as physical health. Concentration, the weight came off easily, I learned to love fresh food and can cook a mean healthy meal these days. My morale is through the roof and I'm enjoying life and getting out again
Fantastic experience: Our time spent with Anca was very beneficial. We sought out her expertise because we wanted a more holistic approach to overall health. She quickly identified a plan of action and helped us source appropriate supplements and other resources. It was good to have all the symptoms my daughter was experiencing taken seriously and having connections made between symptoms that were previous not linked. Anca’s testing was thorough and resulted in a diagnoses and treatment that was effective. We’ve had a short break for holidays and awaiting final test results after treatment and plan on attending a few more sessions with Anca to focus on a one remaining concern and to learn about best ways for my daughter to maintain and support her own health moving forward. She is feeling so much better, functioning so much better and we are really grateful for Anca’s knowledge and guidance through what was starting to feel overwhelming for us. I will say there was alot of information! I found it helpful to have someone explain coherently all the things I had been reading, although it was initially overwhelming for my daughter. She got there though and once she started feeling better she was more and more able to take on new information. Thanks Anca.
Fantastic experience: I found Anca to be very knowledgeable in her many fields of expertise. I understood that gut health plays a very important role in maintaining healthy, ensuring the body absorbs all the nutrients it requires. The supplements and food Anca advised for me to take helped me on the right path in achieving weight gain in a healthy way. I now think twice when going shopping about ensuring I am not putting toxins in my body (Temple).
Fantastic experience: Working with Anca over the last 18mo has been transformative. I will admit I was sceptical at first, my body wasn't making it easy for Anca. Then I found that the sessions seemed to untangle emotional knots I didn't even realise were affecting me. The adjustments in my energy field translated into shifts in my mental and emotional state, I am feeling lighter, mentally clearer and calmer. I highly recommend Anca for anyone who is looking for a reset, growth and healing. Teresa
Fantastic experience: I originally sought Anca’s help with regards to my diet, hoping to lose a bit of weight and help me deal with pre-diabetes. However, Anca’s holistic approach, in particular her wealth of experience as a life coach helped me to be more mindful and more aware of my parasympathetic nervous system. In turn Anca helped me control and overcome my performance anxiety allowing me to be more successful in my chosen field of expertise.
Fantastic experience: Anca’s approach to health is very holistic. From our first consultation I felt supported and comforted by her knowledge, care and warm approach. Anca has helped me to balance my hormones and I was able to get desired weight loss within 4 months. Anca leaves no stone unturned. From Breathing to Exercise , Sleep and Food, every little thing was addressed during appointments and options were given which was practical in my life style . I also had a biofield tuning session with Anca ,which has helped me to release blockages and stress from my body and I feel in a better place now physically and mentally. I would highly recommend working with Anca to anyone who seeks to improve their health.
Fantastic experience: Before seeing Anca, I had awful gut health issues that were affecting every facet of my life - from debilitating reflux, teeth decay, low thyroid, low-grade Hashimoto's and sleep issues. I could go on - but this is a public forum! I have learnt so much on my journey with Anca -she is incredibly generous with her knowledge and support. So, if you're ready to work hard and put in the effort, I can't recommend her enough. You'll come out the other side feeling amazing.
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience seeing Anca. I learnt a great deal about my body and mind through a number of methods. My gut health improved greatly, and my attitude towards eating changed. I use her relaxation methods to help me sleep and take time for me when stress starts to increase. Not a day goes by that I don't think about what Anca taught me. Her knowledge and wisdom astounds me. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Working with Anca has been an enlightening and exulting experience. She has a very positive and personable personality and is a highly educated, informative and gifted practitioner. She has helped me to deepen my understanding of who I am as well as release some pretty heavy grief that i was carrying. She gets 5 stars from me and comes highly recommended for people who would like to go to the next level with personal healing and soul evolution.
Fantastic experience: Anca is wonderful to work with, and is incredibly knowledgable about. gut health and its overall impact within the body. Anca has provided me with easy to understand information and tools to feel empowered about my own health, and has supported me to work at my own pace. I would absolutely recommend Anca to anyone wanting to learn more about their health and nutrition, and particularly looking at their gut health in a holistic way.
Fantastic experience: Anca really help to to step up my gain in terms of health and general wellbeing. Beside the weight loss, that is been ongoing since October, I chang several aspects of my daily life and I see tremendous benefits. Definitely recommend if you looking to deeply improve your wellbeing and not just lose weight! Thanks Anca!!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I started our 'health' journey with Anca the beggining of this year. We wanted a holistic approach to general health and wellbeing along with diet and exercise. Anca is not just a dietician, she is also a pyschologist and this aspect is really a unique and exciting proposition for us. Rather than just go down the path of what you can and cannot eat, we explored some of the reasons why our behaviour manifests with our relationship with food. After 3 months we have developed great strategies and have the tools to really change our eating habits for the long term. The added benefit is that my husband has lost 10kgs and I have lost 7kgs. We feel great and ready to tackle life's challenge ahead, knowing we are healthier and eating well. Thanks so much Anca!
Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in early October 2022. I first started seeing Anca in mid-October. We went through a process of first putting me on a diet that does not flare up UC as well as foods that are wholesome and have anti-inflammatory properties. We then moved to providing my body the supplements it needs. We then moved on to the mental side practicing mindfulness and breathing techniques. Lastly, we moved on to the physical side ensuring the right level of exercise was being achieved along with articulation stretches. Anca takes a full wholesome approach when it comes to looking after your body. On this journey with Anca I have achieved fantastic results, I can confidently say that my guts are feeling the best they ever have. Since seeing Anca I have had 2 check-ups with my gastroenterologist were an ultrasound of my gut was completed, they were impressed as the scans showed no active signs of UC. I am not saying I am healed of UC as it is a chronic disease however due to the changes I have made with Anca my guts are currently in good shape. Thank-you Anca.
Fantastic experience: I first worked with Anca about 6 years ago, she helped me to build my dietary and nutrition fundamentals and awareness, not only did I lose weight but also controlled my PCOS. Recently I had an ultrasound and was told that there was no sign of PCOS anymore! This time working with Anca has been another level of experience, with body mind spirit integrated at one-stop shop. It's way more than just dietary and nutrition. And I love the cool stuff she recommends. Thank you Anca!
Negative experience: I completed assessments and sessions with Anca to receive some help in relation to my health. The process started off positive, however ended prematurely, with a feeling of my time being wasted, poor return for my money and having no definitive results. In fact, it has worsened my health as the many supplements and products recommended were given without any formal medical consultation, including blood tests. In my disappointment, I gained a second opinion from a medically qualified Gastroenterologist which confirmed the harm these supplements were providing. Furthermore, her claim that I would receive a Medicare rebate was incorrect, and given the circumstances, felt like false advertising. Anca explained at a later date that it is more complex and not everyone necessarily receives this rebate, but she would not assist in this process. Moreover, the second session felt generic rather than individualised, almost like using a template. I felt very talked to rather than collaborating to build a plan that works for me. In addition, she turned up almost 20min late, which she defended that this is common practice similar to when you see a doctor. However this session was online and I had not received any notification of her being late. Overall I was hopeful to work with Anca but sadly , I cannot recommend to work with Anca , as in my case and many others ( see google reviews) Anca leaves one with a very disappointing outcome, a waste of money and potential long term harm to my health if I continued her recommendations.
Hi Lisa In order for my recommendations to work you actually need to be compliant and address your health physically, mentally and emotionally. Indeed, money are wasted when you don't follow through what discussed and think you know better. Have you heard of the placebo effect? If you think supplements will cause you harm ... that is what you will experience None of the very basic supplements/nutrients prescribed to correct your multiple imbalances can cause harm. Also these are used only short term/ 4 weeks until nutrition and lifestyle are in place. Re Medicare - not sure how you thought that I have anything to do with that process of you getting a referral from you GP. Medicare rebates are available IF and WITH a GP referral. You send me the referral then I sent you the invoice to claim back online. Simple. This is stated on my website and I haven't tried to get anyone to see me based on the $55 medicare rebate. What a joke! If anything I discourage people from seeing me (see the website) if financial concerns are a problem given the lifestyle changes that are required to achieve optimal health. And optimal health is what we work for, not a quick fix which you wanted. Further I have never had anyone refuse to pay me for their 2 hour (gave you extra 30 min) meal plan personalised consultation based on running 20 min late and for using a preset template. Unfortunately I dont work for free or based on whatever fee you think my service is worth which is what you wanted. You emailed saying after you don't want to pay. Forgot to include that in your review and that you received and extra hour for your initial assessment which you loved and were blown away as you encouraged me to write a book. The template is a book which contains a lot of great information to review later, while in our consult we focus on building your personalised meal plan and weekly strategy. Which we did. I encourage you to take a real good look at your life and reconsider how you self care. While I have a lot of compassion for all people, I can't condone dishonesty, entitlement, maliciousness and manipulation present in our interaction and this review... done while you still owe me for the consultation provided. It is unbelievable. For anyone reading this... is if you are not willing to change at all levels, dont want a serious lifestyle approach and are struggling financially please dont book with me. For this to work you need to take responsibility for your life and be willing to try different things and deal with difficult topics. Willing is the key word as I can hand hold and guide the rest, but this is your journey and only you can walk it.
Fantastic experience: Anca’s advice has lead to me overall feeling better. Not only did I lose 8kgs of fat but my back, knee and finger joints no longer hurt due to my clean diet, I am sleeping better and am feeling so much better within myself. I am over 50 and my body feels great. I would highly recommend Anca to anyone looking for a holistic approach to great health.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a sound healing session with Anca and it was an incredibly profound and healing experience. I felt amazing afterwards and I highly recommend her services.
Fantastic experience: Anca has been a gem in helping me with my health journey. Her approach to weight loss is holistic which I never realised I needed. I initially came in to get help on my weight loss journey thinking it was only about nutrition. But what I've learnt alongside is invaluable and gives me trust that I will be on top of my weight and health in the years to come. I highly recommend Anca if you are looking for an informed approach to your weight loss goals with lasting results.
Fantastic experience: READY FOR CHANGE? Anca is the package deal! Post covid, I knew my autoimmune state and inflammation levels were way elevated. In searching for a dietician to support the foods I ate and supplements to take in reducing inflammation, I was drawn to Anca's bio. Having a science background, I was really looking for someone who practiced her skills with scientific backing. What Anca brings to the consult is amazingly a holistic approach, not only in dietetics but also in combining holistic strategies such as psychology, breathing, exercise, physiology, mind purpose etc. However, I stress it's all scientifically grounded as her information resonated with my understanding of the biology and science. Anca is well versed, well trained but always striving to keep learning. She's intense and very knowledgeable. At times, overwhelming and a lot to take in, but with repeated messaging and reinforcement, it all made sense to me. I lost weight, I reduced belly bloat, I reduced my stress feelings, my cholesterol levels reduced and my psoriasis redness diminished. Be prepared for intense, long and focused 1-on-1 sessions. Be prepared to listen to the information and apply it and you will benefit from sustained mental, emotional and physical changes in your life. Strap in!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Anca when I was so disappointed with my unsuccessful attempts to loose weight after my second pregnancy, and I can happily say it has been a transformational experience. Anca has changed my lifestyle is so many ways. I have lost about 11Kg in 3.5 months, and the way I eat and move has completely changed! Not only my eating has changed but also the way I see a lot of things around me! Rainy weather is no excuse not to go for a walk anymore and I don’t try to find the shortest distance when I park my car! I have 2 kids under 4 and following any diet or exercise is not easy task, what I love about Anca’s approach is that she would give you so many different ways/options to do one thing so one of these would work for you no matter what! Anca is so genuine and extremely knowledgeable, she knows what she is doing! I am so excited to continue my fitness/health journey with her.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Anca for her knowledge and for her passion of helping people getting healthier. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Anca is amazing! She has a genuine interest in what you want to achieve and has a non-judgmental approach when she works with you. She has plenty of new ideas and a fresh perspective of how to live well. She really gets you thinking to challenge your assumptions on what works for you. I'd highly recommend having a session with Anca.
Fantastic experience: Anca has taught me so much about my own health and how my body works. She is extremely thorough and tailors every session to my individual needs. Thank you Anca!
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 8-week Optimise Me program with Anca and it was a truly transformational experience. I was very impressed by her holistic and thorough approach to understanding my lifestyle and what needs to change to help me achieve my goals. She leaves no stone unturned. Some of the many benefits I achieved with this program: achieved my weight loss goal (8-9kg in 8 weeks), improved energy and sleep, healthier skin, nails and hair, lower stress levels, and being so much more educated and conscious of nutrition, balance and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Anca worked with me to ensure the lifestyle changes are doable and sustainable for me. I'm delighted that I've managed to maintain my new weight and routines months later, and I intend to live by these new principles for life as I've never felt better. Anca is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about her work - she puts in a lot of effort to help you. She is honest and will tell you what needs to change. If you're willing to commit to doing the work at your end and you're open to challenging your preconceptions and beliefs, she will absolutely help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. This was one of the best investments I've ever made.
Fantastic experience: I had few sessions with Anca as I was suffering from IBS and depression. Anca helped me to design the diet plan according to my needs rather than giving me a diet plan. She also help me in setting up my routine which works better for me to manage my anxiety and stress level. She is not only dietitian, she approach health holistically and guides on enhancing both mental and physical well being. She is one of the unique dietitian out there and you will never regret her service. Thanks Anca for your guidance
Fantastic experience: Anca is a very knowledgeable holistic dietitian who is very passionate about her work. I’ve walked away with a blueprint to work towards and have a much deeper understanding of health and nutrition. Thank you Anca
Fantastic experience: I found Anca through Internet search for helping me lose weight for my upcoming wedding. She did not only help me lose weight but changed my total lifestyle for better including my breathing, sleep apnoea, exercise routines and healthy eating habits. I got my energy back, I don't get out of bed tired any more and I don't need those afternoon snoozes. I look leaner and my face is glowing as per everyone around me suggests Strongly recommended!
Fantastic experience: *** BEST HOLISTIC DIETICIAN/LIFE COACH - DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE*** Meeting Anca changed my life. I always struggled with my relationship with food, she got down to the core. It wasn't just habits she uncovered but the deep rooted emotions and also my gut health from when I was growing up. Even to help me understand (I'm very into the detail) how my mother's gut health also influences mine, and as I am moving into the next phase of my life (motherhood in the next couple of years) I have more conscious awareness + motivation to take care of my gut health as much as possible. I felt like I could open up to Anca and not be judged. What I was experiencing was quite embarrassing (normally) but she made me feel safe and seen. I cherish her dearly and she is ever so generous with her knowledge. I came in with the goal to lose weight. Did I lose it? YES! But after 1 session with her I realised that my goal wasn't to lose weight, it was to LOVE and NOURISH my body more, to listen to what she needs, to help with my constant anxiety, to know what I put in my body and how it can benefit or impact it. I am so EMPOWERED! I have much more to learn from Anca and will continue to see her when I can (and budget allows - she is worth more than what she charges. Don't waste your time or money going anywhere else). My gut health dramatically improved in a week. I was never hungry on the meal plans she designed for me. I love that she designed it so that my husband could also enjoy it with me making it so convenient. She does recommend a lot of supplements BUT we've tapered it down now so that too is manageable, she checks in with me each time to make sure I am ok and she is so open and receptive to receiving feedback. Additionally she taught me simple and easy to remember breathing exercises which I still do! I love it so much and I have incorporated it into my coaching sessions with clients and they LOVE IT! (Thank you Anca - a credit to you!) Additionally my gut is so much happier! She communicates so much clearer to me now and I look at food so much differently. I feel healthier and even though inside I wish I was as skinny as I was a few years ago, I'm MUCH more healthier. I don't get sick or run down, I sleep better and the anxiety is mostly gone. I've been given the greatest gift of knowledge and empowerment to heal my body on all levels. Anca is incredible. If you're looking for someone who looks at all the areas of your life and connecting this back to food to help you heal (mentally, emotionally, physically) and you're willing to do the work (YES you have to do the work) don't look anywhere else but here. Sending Anca so much love for the gifts she has <3 thank you so much
Negative experience: Wish I could give 0 stars, the lack of professionalism from Anca and as a business is beyond me. I contacted Anca and sent in my lengthy questionnaire to her and my appointment was booked. A couple of days prior she cancelled on me due to “not being able to help me due to not having expertise in a specific health area of my life”. I totally understood but that specific health reason was no longer present in my life so I tried to reach out via email to explain this and see if we could still work together or have 1 session and let her decide. 2 days go by and I hear nothing. I send a follow up email and call and leave a message. A week later I have been ghosted. I have received no email or phone call in return and am just left to find someone new, not get the opportunity to work with Anca and not even the professionalism to respond or even suggest some alternative dietitions. Beyond unprofessional and beyond disappointed. Update/Warning for those wanting to work with Anca!: ~ I have been threatened to take my review down or she will have her lawyers on the case for slander (I am yet to receive anything from her lawyers as nothing I have stated is slander..) ~ Anca released my personal information which Is CONFIDENTIAL on a PUBLIC forum. ~ Her excuse as to not contacting due to contact hours and 8pm is all well and good but she had a full WEEK from my first to my second contact, that’s not professional nor a business I would want to work with if you can’t find the time for a 1 minute email. Just be careful before entering business with this woman as you will potentially receive threats, your confidential information may be released to public forums and just a beyond stressful and unprofessional experience no one has time for.
Dear Britt, while is is unfortunate I couldn't take you on as a client given I don't specialise in your medical condition.... information which was clearly communicated via email... I fail to see how harassment and making things up helps anyone move forward in a positive way. My refusal on taking you as a client resulted in slander and unfounded accusations. Well I hope you find other practitioners that can really help you. Sorry that wasn't me.
Fantastic experience: I did Anca's Optimise 10 week program and gained great results. My previous 18 months had been so stressful, while trying to deal with my life struggles I also stacked on 10 unwanted kgs. My body was in need of some attention. Anca is very knowledgeable in all aspects of health. I tried to stick to my program the best I could and exercised at least 5 times a week. The benefits I have gained are, no more ovulation pains or bloating, my brain fog has lifted, i dropped 8kg, my gut just feels so much lighter and feels like it functions more efficiently, my skin has been so clear too! Although I have finished my 10 weeks I am determined to stick to my program and continue to gain results. Thanks Anca
Fantastic experience: Anca is absolutely fantastic. She really helped me with my diet, the psychology of eating and exercising, exercises on how to deal with stress and this has all lead to me feeling and being fitter and heathier. I was also having a lot of trouble sleeping, waking up for many hours during the night. Anca's has helped me completely stop that. I highly recommend Anca if you want to improve your health, nutrition, fitness and sleep.
Fantastic experience: Anca Vereen is a lot more than a dietician. While she has helped a great deal with nutrition, her strengths are far more expansive. She has helped a great deal with well-being overall. If you are looking to improve your overall health or well-being, she is able to provide immense value in a very short period of time. I am very grateful for her support. Sometimes a few, well-timed changes can make a huge difference.
Fantastic experience: I was first introduced to Anca as a nutrigenetics lecturer. I then saw her for a number of appointments in 2021 to deal with low energy and fatigue. Within a few weeks of following Anca’s advice and protocols I felt so much better, and still follow her recommendations now. I would recommend Anca to anyone who wants to make positive changes to their diet / lifestyle and is willing to stick with her advice.
Fantastic experience: Anca was great! She was able to help me reach my health goals and introduced me to new ideas and foods which are now staples of my weekly diet. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I first reach out to Anca to help lose the weight before my wedding. Anca is very knowledgeable and helpful. Without her help, I would not be able to lose the 10kg+ for my big day. I would highly recommend her
Fantastic experience: Anca is incredibly detailed and knowledgeable. She gave me insights into my lifestyle and diet and the meal plan she developed with me is excellent - months later I still follow it closely and have never felt deprived. I always thought I ate well, but knew there was something not quite right and she helped me understand it. I'd highly recommend Anca - she's amazing.
Positive experience: Anca was fantastic with helping me with various digestion and overall health issues. She educated me and helped me understand how I need to eat in order to sustain myself and maintain my health. I’d highly recommend her services!
Fantastic experience: Anca Vereen is a very knowledgeable dietician and with her guidance I managed to lose 8-9 kg. I highly recommend her - thank you Anca !!!
Negative experience: I wouldn’t recommend booking to see Anca. I was super excited about my appointment and couldn’t wait to work with her and get some life changing results. She’s very polite and professional during the zoom call .But overall the experiences was beyond disappointing. I had my appointment during the second lockdown and I should have posted this review back then. She was running 20 min late. To sit on the phone for a first appointment just does not work for this kind of consultation. It’s such a long time and she gets in depth about the microbiota which is great but it’s hard to stay focused and take it all in and establish a connection through a phone call Not even video as she explained that wasn’t working. I understand During the pandemic there was no other option but advising me it would be a zoom call that cut in and cut out should have been advised beforehand she has you on loud speaker and it echos. A lot of what Anca explained Seemed spot on but her delivery I found to be a little harsh at times. I explained I was on job keeper and she was very accomodating and said she would keep the costs down. After our Initial phone consult which was $225 the next appointment also over the phone was a follow up and would be charged at $175. Between the 2 appointments I was advised to get a blood test and I shouldn’t be out of pocket for my gp said bulk billing wasn’t an option $3590 out of pocket ) on some of the requests for this blood test. The supplements were $500. I spoke to Anca Briefly before my first appointment to ensure she was the right fit for me . At that phone call she could have advised to get a referral from the gp as this would lower the out of pocket expenses. I then emailed Anca deeply apologizing that at this point I couldn’t continue with the treatment plan I had no reply to my email . I genuinely was upset and advised as soon as my situation changes I would love to continue to work with her. No reply or acknowledgment. It was actually a huge waste of time and money. I can’t put a price on my health but I expected better care and better service from Anca. To completely ignore the email is beyond unprofessional.
Dear Carol, COVID was a hard for all of us. And you just happened to work with me during a transition from clinic to online where many things weren't working as they should. I notified your about this prior and already apologised for that on the day. The costs involved were explained at the time very clearly and the bloods tests were free as long as your doctor chose to support you in your health. If your GP didn't want to help you, then they would make you pay for it which is why the cost for standard BB tests. The supplements vary depending on size. If you looked only at the big bottles and not the small bottles I recommended, then they can add up to that. I am not sure as I don't sell them. Your email landed in my spam which was the reason was not answered in your expected time frame. I contacted you after and left you a voicemail and I have never heard back from you. I understand you were upset not hearing back but as I said I underwent a IT transition where thing were running as they should. That was been addressed since and hasn't been a problem with anyone else.
Fantastic experience: Anca was instrumental in uncovering my underperforming and sluggish metabolism as Hashimotos disease. She developed a manageable eating plan as well as lifestyle suggestions and options to consider. I now have a very good understanding of how to manage my condition thanks to Anca. I would recommend her services.
Fantastic experience: If you are serious about wanting to improve your overall health, Anca is the person to help you guide you on your journey. She helped me improve my diet and health in general. No short term fixes. She will guide you through the process. if you want to see serious changes you have to do your bit an follow her advice to see real changes. I did and it helped me. As my diet improved so did my mood and productivity.
Fantastic experience: I first saw Anca for help with weight loss issues but came away with so much more. Her holistic approach taught me how to nourish my body, deal with gut and inflammation issues that were causing other health problems too. Not only is she a deep well of nutritional information but her approach addresses lifestyle matters like mindset, stress and environment. She is the best dietician I have ever been too and highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Anca was a pleasure to work with, she has helped create a total lifestyle change for me with outstanding results. In a few short months we have overhauled my diet with a focus on understanding proper nutrition and maintaining optimal gut health through to helping deal with stress and anxiety. I would recommend her to anyone of my friends or family.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous service - thorough from start to finish with great interpersonal skills. Anca has helped me and my kids back to good health through diet, supplements and general lifestyle adaptation. She made it easy.
Fantastic experience: I have long followed the principals of 'food as medicine' & thought I was eating pretty well until Anca set me straight! For me, among other things, it was recognizing that I was not eating nearly enough & needed much more variety. Following her advise, my children and I have seen improvements in our overall health, digestive issues & energy levels. My son's mast cell triggers are now better controlled as I understand now where those histamines are hiding in our diet. More than a dietician, Anca is a healer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Anca by my GP after having issues with gut health and severe bowel problems. I previously had been hospitalised, prescribed a plethora of prescription medication and also attended numerous specialists including gastrointestinal health, allergy and immune functioning, all to no avail. After less than a month under consultation from Anca, I have noticed great results. I now know what it is like to feel normal, my bowels are no longer a problem, a series of healthy supplements and diet/nutrition changes have changed my life. I no longer take prescription meds, my allergies are almost non-existent and I have a new energy and a much healthier lifestyle. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have been introduced to Anca a few months ago when I was struggling with my gut problem. Even tho there is a huge distance between us (me in Europe, and she in Australia), we make it possible via Zoom. She is the most amazing, genuine, kind, and knowledgeable nutritionist. She has provided me with education, counselling, she provided great guidance when I was struggling with anxiety and stress, and we work together on my diet plan. Because of her, I didn’t improve just my gut problem, but even my mental state of mind. I highly recommend her and I’m very grateful for meeting her.
Fantastic experience: Anca prescribed a very versatile plan according to my schedule and taste. After looking into my blood tests, she was able to adjust the plan and suplements to tackle the Vitamin deficits. I must say it’s a great plan and I was able to lose weight easily without starving myself as I’ve done in the past! Anca also provides you some hints and recipes (that probably wouldn’t think about doing, which is amazing!). With this, I’ve re-educated myself with regards to food and gained much more energy! Totally recommend!
Fantastic experience: Anca is a deeply knowledgeable health practitioner with a passion for good health and 'growing younger'. After 2 months working on nutrition, diet and physical health with Anca I lost 6 kg and gained masses of energy - never felt better!
Fantastic experience: I have sent a number of patients to Anca and had nothing but good reports. I highly recommend her for your health needs.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable experienced nutritionist with a helping and caring attitude. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Super personable, knowledgeable and thorough.
Fantastic experience: Anca is a versatile nutritionist who has a deep grasp of her industry. Whether helping you overcome health issues or assist you get in optimum shape, she is committed to her clients' goals.
Fantastic experience: Anca is a very caring person who loves to help people. She has taught me so much about food and has motivated me to improve my diet and exercise. Subsequently I have lost 7.6kg and have gone from being overweight to within a healthy range. I am sleeping better, have more energy, feel fitter and my skin is not dry anymore. Many of my friends have commented about how healthy and well I look as well as being slimmer. My husband who has been a borderline Type 2 diabetic for 7 years and was about to commence medication but asked his doctor for three months to reduce his blood sugar levels. He joined a gym where he exercised three times a week and followed a modified form of my eating plan from Anca. He managed to lose 14 kg. which brought his blood sugar to a normal level. We are determined to continue to live a healthy lifestyle and ride our bikes most days, go for daily long walks, exercise regularly and enjoy planning and preparing our meals together. Our doctors are very pleased with our progress and wish all their patients would do the same. Thank you Anca for helping us make such a difference to the quality of our lives.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for the useful advise on best diet during pregnancy and on how to ease pregnancy nausea!
Fantastic experience: Anca is an extremely knowledgeable and respectful health professional. She was able to adjust all treatment plans to suit my eating preferences. Anca has a view to supporting the whole person and her advice has enabled me to live an active and comfortable lifestyle, despite having a chronic inflammatory disease. Well worth the expense. Thank you Anca.
Fantastic experience: Anca is very kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. Provided great guidance and advice to improve my diet, gut healthy and overall well-being . Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Anca was very helpful with helping me understand and address a complex health problem. Her advice regarding my diet was effective, it helped me improve my health and also reach a healthier bodyweight.
Fantastic experience: Anca is an amazing dietician. She takes time to get to know you, your lifestyle and your health concerns. Anca works with you to achieve your goals and help keep you on track. My 27yo daughter with a disability has been seeing Anca for a few months and has made great improvements in her general health and wellbeing and lost a significant amount of weight. She feels and looks so much better. Anca has helped her learn to eat healthier, to exercise more and to look after herself. Can highly recommend Anca at Vereen Health.
Fantastic experience: After being extremely unsatisfied with the amount of weight that I put on during the time of my two pregnancies and after, felt that I needed to do something. After a bit of googling, I discovered Anca's website and from the information that I saw I wanted to book an appointment I found her assessment of me very thorough. Her approach is very holistic. I have numerous health issues which she also addressed. The changes she recommended were easy to do and did not make me feel like I was missing out and depressed. I never knew that I could lose weight and not feel hungry, tired, depressed, crave junk food, and lack energy. I can maintain this plan as it is for quality of life and not just for a quick weight for weight loss. I have not put on any of the weight that I lost last year. I highly recommend seeing Anca.
Fantastic experience: Working with Anca has changed our life. Genuinely interested in your wellbeing, Anca shares her wealth of practical knowledge with simple adjustments to your lifestyle and eating habits to make a marked difference to your existence. Highly recommended.
Positive experience: Anca is very helpful and encouraging. Yes she's expensive and yes she's often running late, HOWEVER I had seen a dietician previously and didn't get a lot out of it. Anca helped me to make some positive long term changes to my diet and I'm happy with the results.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Anca for the better part of a year and highly value her service and direction in working to improve my overall health and well-being. Principally, Anca has helped me shift daily drinking into a better place where I'm certainly now more in control with AFDs and breaks from booze. Anca has provided thorough recommendations to diet, exercise and lifestyle improvement (think meditation and the like) tailored specifically to my bloodwork and genetic SNP reporting. I am happier, stronger, sleep better, am clear-headed, focused, and more. I find Anca motivational and her advice sound which she'll reinforce with links to studies or articles. She takes the time to explain things in simple terms that are easy to understand and more importantly, action. If you're the type of person who is worried that a nutritionist will tell you to, "Quit everything good" don't be. Anca will push and pull in various positive directions and you will benefit. You will see a noticeable improvement. And like everything in life, you will get out of - what you put into her recommendations. It takes work but is incredibly rewarding. I highly recommend Anca across the board.
Fantastic experience: I have been given a new lease on life thanks greatly to the in depth care and knowledge that Anca provided. Such wonderful practical assistance from a dietician that truly walks the talk.
Fantastic experience: Anca Vereen is very knowledgeable and very helpful! I would definitely recommend her for everyone.
Fantastic experience: Anca is a thorough and insightful practitioner who has helped manage my insulin resistance, excess weight and foggy mind issues. I feel so much more focused and have mental clarity throughout the day. Her advise was practical and applicable to my personal and professional life, couldn't be any happier.
Fantastic experience: Anca is an absolutely wonderful clinician and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting holistic, non-judgemental, practical advice on improved wellness through food. Regardless of what your goal is, Anca will definitely be able to help. Thanks Anca for everything!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Anca! I started seeing Anca at a very difficult time and found her support and encouragement truly helpful! Nothing is more important than your health, mental and physical. I have learnt so much about the foods I am eating, how they affect my moods and how I can take better care of the choices I make, not only for me but for my family.
Fantastic experience: I have multiple health issues that Anca has helped me correct by changing my diet and the way I look at food. Her knowledge of nutrition, as well as general health, is fantastic. She's helped transform this fussy eater into an adventurous one. In so many ways, I'm am a million times healthy since seeing her.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Anca for about a year now and the results have been amazing. She is a great listener and rather than just dictating to me what I should be doing she has worked with me to create a plan that works with my busy life style. She suggested I undertake a DNA test so that we could really target the right areas and since doing so I am feeling physically stronger, energised and have better mental clarity. I can not recommend her services enough.
Fantastic experience: Anca is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate people I have ever met. She is genuinely enthusiastic in helping people with health and well being. She's made such a difference to my lifestyle and mindfulness through knowledge, encouragement and accommodating my needs. A real A-Grader that I highly recommend! 365 days off coffee and never felt better!
Fantastic experience: She was so good at listening, never made me feel silly for not seeing any dietician earlier. She considered my budget when making suggestions and helped me see what I could expect health-wise long term. She really benefited and was such a nice practical specialist. Would recommend anytime.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly service, always willing to offer assistance and advice to help
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Anca since 23 February 2019 for unexplained dramatic weight loss since the loss of my father in August 2018. She has been very helpful with her professionalism and sound advice, including appropriate blood tests in conjunction with my GP, dietary assistance including meal plans and supplements as required. I am now in much better health thanks to her personal attention and expertise.
Fantastic experience: Its life changing experience. Lots of knowledge and great delivery. Best service. Its nice to see a professional that really cares about getting people back to health.
Fantastic experience: Super good, definitely will be back :)
Negative experience: I spent $850 with Anca to get a personalized program that would suit me and be sustainable. I had 2 appointments with her and was supposed to have a third to go over my DNA test results but after losing my Mum, I was late to reply back to an email but once I did, I never heard back from her again. The program she wrote out for me was not personalized to suit me at all, it was very generic and my grocery bill to purchase everything I was told was over $250 weekly and that was just to cover myself, then I still had another 2 mouths to feed. It was also too much food for me and made me gag to be eating so many vegetables so frequently. I was also told to cut back my exercise drastically and to walk one hour daily which is something I didn’t enjoy doing. I was told to throw out all of my supplements and purchase new ones that were a different brand - despite having stocked up for the next 3 months and repurchasing new supplements would have been hundreds of dollars. I have since seen another dietician who was a fraction of the cost and who listened to me with what I enjoy doing, I have been able to maintain his program and I have seen results. Just because someone is expensive, does not mean they are good or going to help you achieve what you need
Dear Stacey You contacted me during Christmas hours which is why you didn't get a reply. Prior to that I have tried to contact you several times to reschedule your appointment and haven't heard back. Your last appointment was refunded as a gesture of good will given you already started working with someone else. My recommendations do work when adhered to, and in your case these were personalised based on you DNA test- therefore the need for new and specialised supplements to address results. I understand that given your difficult personal circumstance and following overwhelm you weren't able to do so and needed a less complex and a more minimalistic approach. I am sorry I couldn't support you in the way you wanted, given the program you selected was an indepth specialised protocol, which was not simplistic.
Fantastic experience: It’s been about a couple of months seeing Anca very nice lady.. I went to see Anca for anxiety depression ocd and my sleeping. She changed my diet and in the 2 months I’m feeling really good and off my anti depressant tablets and sleeping has improved enormously and energy levels are fantastic. Benjamin Seferler
Fantastic experience: Thank you Anca for sound, professional guidance in my health and nutrition. I learnt so much from you and am pleased to say I am seeing the benefits.
Negative experience: Bad service, 25 minutes wait with no acknowledgement even though she saw us waiting. A 25 minutes wait for a 15 mins appointment is not acceptable. Especially if you are running late, the least is to inform others you are running late.
Fantastic experience: Very good place, i did body composition analysis
