Vereen Health

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

Working with Anca is intense, but in the best possible way. She is bursting with specialist knowledge, and she's willing to share it. The results of working with her to improve my health have been fantastic so far. I have enjoyed improved mood, sleep, digestive health, and consistent weight loss. I've been guided with a detailed (and tailored) meal plan to match my individual needs. I'm full of gratitude for her help to this end, and would recommend Anca without hesitation.

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.

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!

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.
