FAQs

Why choose a concierge dietitian over a regular dietitian covered by insurance?

Let’s just say not every professional in any industry has the same background, passion, or experience. If you want a basic nutrition explanation and limited support, the regular dietitian might be a fit for you. Most insurances will only cover a couple of visits which may not offer all of the support you will need to make lifestyle changes or coaching support to help you overcome road blocks.

When it comes to medications, most times they are only a band-aid approach and never correct the root cause issue or allow for permanent weight loss or health changes. In most cases once you go off weight loss drugs or medications, the weight comes back plus some or a disease symptom may return. My approach is to TEACH you how to manage your body and to bring it back to balance. Weight loss or a disease state is never a focus for me. Both of those are a result of a body that is out of balance. Once you discover your DNA blueprint, lifestyle habits that are causing inflammation, and a plan on how to recover your energy and vitality, you can begin to restore balance and rejuvenate the organ systems to become healthy again. Why waste time, life is short, it doesn’t take long to recover health when you have a guide to teach you how to maintain health for life.

What makes your program different?

I invest my time and energy into each client. Your health is my priority and my job is to figure out your system and educate you on your body’s user manual. I am a detective searching through each body system assessing weaknesses and imbalances. With my 26 years of experience I have many tools in my tool belt to create a self-care plan that will be designed specifically for you, not only that, but a plan that will work for life. I am tired of seeing people waste their time, energy, and money on cookie cutter programs or fads that offer limited results. Make your investment count and get the results you want! I will help empower you to learn how to master your body, live with vitality and energy, and find a whole new respect for your body and how it is designed to win and heal on its own. My approach is not only about LIVING, it is about THRIVING!

Do you work with a specific age group?

From birth we are all born with a DNA blueprint. I am passionate about working with people at ANY age and it is never too late to focus on health. I do feel the earlier we understand our body and follow a plan that is designed to create a healthy foundation will allow for the maximum quality of life. Just like a tree, you start with a seed, but need a strong root system to grow the trunk for stability, but the leaves and blossoms are not possible without the proper sequences. I will help you bloom in all areas of your health from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

​

Which areas of nutrition and diet counseling do you specialize?

I have a strong background in metabolic issues, diabetes/pre-diabetes, weight loss, cardiovascular health, renal issues, auto-immune diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, autism/ADHD, detox, anti-aging, menopause/peri-menopause and postpartum, chronic fatigue, allergies and food sensitivities, skin problems, sleep issues, stress management, gluten free/celiac, genetic/nutrigenomics, children’s nutrition, sports nutrition, emotional eating and cancer.

​

Can I meet with you in person?

I am absolutely a people person and love meeting with my clients in person! However, to be efficient with both of our time, I have found that virtual meeting can be very effective! It allows for a comfortable learning experience (in your own home), it allows us to continue our visits even if you are traveling, and it cuts out any travel time for you. I will have learning videos for you and through those and our live virtual calls, you will feel as if I am right there with you cheering you along the way!

I only want one session with you. Do you do that?

My philosophy is that it is impossible to give you all the tools you need for success in 1 hr. I am not Amazon Prime and cannot fix or balance the body that fast. This is a commitment to your health and I have spent thousands of hours investing in my practice, education, and research to continue learning on how to better help my clients. I feel it would be a disservice for both of us if we did not make the time needed for success. I want my clients to not feel pressure to make all the changes in one to two visits. This is where the mindset needs to change. It has taken years to solidify unhealthy choices or rituals taught by parents. It will take time to rewire the brain and when you try to rush the process, it often fails.
