The Nutrition Coaching Process
01
Complete this form and I'll reach out to schedule a discovery call
Share your nutrition goals, what you'd like to get out of working with a dietitian, and I'll answer any questions you may have about working together.
02
Choose which package or service you prefer and begin the onboarding process.
You'll be invited to join your secure, private portal via email. This easy-to-use, virtual medical record system is an all-in-one platform that will give you access to your intake forms, scheduling, secure messaging, food/activity/lifestyle logging, & personalized resources.
03
Schedule your 60-minute initial assessment
Here we'll review your nutrition, health, fitness, and lifestyle history. We'll discuss your food preferences, training & competition schedule, relationship with food, any pertinent medical history, food & supplement intake, and your daily routine. You'll then receive personalized resources & recommendations based on your specific goals & needs. This may include flexible meal planning, nutrition education, competition day meal and snack ideas, intuitive eating exercises, labs, and/or supplement recommendations. ​Together, we'll then come up with 1-3 action steps which we will build on in follow-up sessions.
04
Schedule your 30-minute follow-up session
In follow-up sessions, we discuss your weekly wins and challenges. ​At each visit, we'll re-visit your goals, discuss what is and is not working for you and will adjust your plan accordingly. If you have other nutrition-related goals or concerns, we will address those as well.
FAQ's
Q: How long do you work with clients? It depends on individual client goals. I recommend committing to a minimum of 3 months to allow for individualization and creating enough tools to allow for long-term success.
Q: Is there a difference in working with a registered dietitian vs a nutritionist? Yes! Registered dietitians have extensive training in the science of nutrition. The requirements to become a dietitian include: -Master's degree from an accredited university including the following coursework: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, chemistry, organic chemistry, microbiology, statistics, medical nutrition therapy, food science, metabolism, and more -Completion of at least 1200 hours of supervised practice in various locations including: inpatient hospital settings, outpatient clinics, foodservice, community, among others -Pass a national board exam -Required completion of at least 75 continuing education hours every 5 years -Recognized by professional sport organizations, hospitals, schools, and government organizations Nutritionists have no formal training or education requirements. Since the title is unregulated, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Nutritionists are able to provide general nutrition recommendations (i.e. eat your fruits and vegetables,), however cannot provide specific sports or medical nutrition recommendations.
Q: What are my payment options? *Out of pocket à la carte services include: -Comprehensive initial assessment: $350 -Comprehensive follow-up sessions: $250 *Out of pocket concierge packages include: -Three-month package: $3500 -Six-month package: $6000 *We provide superbills for any out of pocket service that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement upon request *We accept HSA and FSA cards *We are in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield *Sliding scale pricing available for à la carte sessions *'Pay-what-you-can' spots currently available for motivated clients seeking high-quality, accessible care.
Q: Do you accept insurance? We currently accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and will be expanding to accept other insurance providers.
Q: Do you provide meal plans? I do not provide cookie cutter meal plans. If you are looking for more structured support, we can create a flexible meal plan together. This would take your food preferences, daily schedule, physical activity routine, nutrition needs, etc into account. At the end of the day, we're all human and life happens. If unexpected dinners or travel plans come up, we'll discuss tools to help you feel confident in knowing what to eat instead of feeling confused, stressed, or guilty around your food choices.
Q: Do I have to follow a specific diet or give up foods I love? I don't prescribe rigid diets and practice from an add-in approach. My approach is flexible and built around the foods you actually enjoy eating. The goal isn't to make your diet perfect, it's to make it work for you to help you meet your health and performance goals.
Q: Can I work with you if I want to lose weight? As a weight-inclusive, non-diet dietitian, I do not provide interventions for intentional weight loss. However, we live in a fat-phobic society with a very weight-centric healthcare system, so I understand the desire to change your body. I will never shame anyone for wanting to pursue this. Rather than providing weight loss interventions, we can work together to explore the motivation behind wanting to lose weight. If it's for health- or fitness-related reasons, we can create a plan to directly meet your specific health/fitness-related goal(s). If you feel uncomfortable in your body, we can include body image work in our sessions.
Q: Do you provide lab tests? Lab tests are included in our concierge package options. Your dietitian will handle the cost, ordering, and review of the recommended labs which may include but are not limited to: iron panels, vitamin D levels, omega-3 fatty acid levels, comprehensive metabolic panel, and more.
