Catherine Chong is an accredited practising dietitian with Dietitians Australia and a certified dietitian in fertility and prenatal nutrition by the Early Life Nutrition Alliance.

Our initial consultation is primarily focused on the individual. However, we highly encourage your partner to participate in the consultation to gain insights into the vital dietary and lifestyle changes that can enhance fertility for both of you.
If you choose to enrol in our Mastering Egg Health Program following your initial consultation, it includes an initial assessment and a tailored plan for your partner at no extra cost. This ensures that both of you are supported and informed throughout this journey.
The initial consultation is usually 90 minutes. A subsequent follow-up visit will take around 45 – 60 minutes.
The fee for an individual initial consultation is $550.
Each follow-up consultation is priced at $350 per session. These sessions are crucial for providing individually tailored reviews and nutrition strategies designed to educate and support you in making sustainable improvements to your dietary habits.
After your initial consultation, you’ll have a couple of options for your next steps:
- Enrol in the Mastering Egg Health Program: This 12-week follow-up package is the most popular choice for many clients. By choosing this program, you’ll gain access to our comprehensive online learning portal, which includes a variety of resources to optimise your egg and sperm health and six follow-up consultations with Dietitian Catherine Chong. These resources include personalised meal plans, fertility-friendly recipes, expert-led masterclasses, and unlimited support throughout the 12 weeks. We recommend scheduling follow-up sessions every two weeks to help reinforce and refine the strategies and skills you’ve learned, with a dedicated focus on maximising your fertility potential. Click here to learn more about the program.
- Opt for Single Follow-up Consultations: Alternatively, if you prefer more flexibility, you can book individual follow-up consultations as needed. This option allows you to address specific concerns or questions following the initial consultation.
Both options are crafted to provide ongoing support, guidance, and expert knowledge on your path to enhanced fertility.
The one-time investment in our 12-week Mastering Egg Health Program is $1,500. It’s important to note that an initial consultation, priced at $550, is required before enrolling in the program. This ensures we can provide personalised and effective care tailored to your needs.
This 12-Week Program Offers:
- Six individual consultations with Dietitian Catherine Chong via Zoom. These sessions focus on creating a personalised nutrition and supplement plan tailored to your unique needs and goals, including an initial fertility consultation with your partner to discuss sperm health.
- Access our online training portal to discover our science-backed 4-step system to enhance egg and sperm health. Enjoy masterclasses by fertility health experts that provide comprehensive knowledge and strategies.
- Personalised meal plans, recipes, and detailed shopping lists to simplify meal preparation and ensure optimal nourishment. Access to our dietitian-approved online meal planner offers flexibility to swap meals as needed.

- Stay motivated and on track with instant messaging support for accountability and guidance between your consultations.
While we do our best to tailor each recipe to suit your nutritional needs and food preferences, we recognise that it’s impossible to meet every client’s expectations perfectly. That’s why we offer access to our online meal planner, allowing you to choose and plan your meals according to your preferences and needs. This way, you can enjoy a personalised meal plan that works best for you.
Absolutely! We offer a payment plan for our program. Contact our team to find out more.
We take great pride in the quality of our Mastering Egg Health Program and are pleased to share that we have had a high level of satisfaction among our clients, with no refund requests to date. However, we understand that every individual’s situation is unique. If you find that the program does not meet your needs, we offer a 14-day refund policy starting from the date of your enrollment. For detailed information about our refund policy, we encourage you to review our terms and conditions.
Every client is unique, and while we strive to provide the best possible support, we cannot guarantee a successful pregnancy. Factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and individual circumstances can all influence fertility. Even IVF cannot guarantee success. Our goal is to equip you with the nutrition knowledge, tools, and support to optimise your fertility, giving you the best possible chance of achieving a successful pregnancy.
