Yes. I am in-network with many major insurance plans, and many clients have little to no out-of-pocket cost for nutrition counseling.

Benefits vary by plan, and coverage cannot be guaranteed until processed by your insurance company. Whenever possible, I verify benefits and discuss estimated costs before your appointment.

Yes. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can typically be used for nutrition counseling services.

Because plan rules vary, I recommend checking with your HSA or FSA administrator regarding specific coverage details.

For clients who choose not to use insurance or who do not have nutrition benefits, appointments are available on a self-pay basis.

Self-pay appointments are $200 per 60-minute session.

If you have questions about insurance coverage or payment options, please feel free to reach out.

A credit card is required for all clients to uphold practice policies and securely manage any outstanding balances.

Cards on file may be used for:

• Late cancellation fees
• No-show fees
• Insurance balances or deductibles not covered by your plan

Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

Appointments canceled, rescheduled, or missed with less than 24 hours' notice are subject to a $75 late cancellation/no-show fee.

This fee is not billable to insurance and is the responsibility of the client.

Most clients do not need a referral to schedule an appointment.

However, some insurance plans may require a referral or medical documentation. If needed, I can help coordinate with your healthcare provider.

Your initial visit is a comprehensive nutrition assessment where we will discuss:

• Medical history
• Current eating habits
• Lifestyle factors
• Health concerns and symptoms
• Lab work (if available)
• Previous dieting experiences
• Personal goals

Together, we will create realistic and sustainable nutrition strategies tailored to your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

Most appointments are approximately 60 minutes in length.

This allows ample time to discuss your concerns, review progress, answer questions, and develop a personalized plan that supports your goals.

What should I bring to my first appointment?If available, please bring:

• A list of medications and supplements
• Recent lab results
• Relevant medical records
• Questions or goals you'd like to discuss
• Food or symptom logs

Don't worry if you don't have these items—we can still have a productive visit.

Appointment frequency depends on your goals, health concerns, and preferences.

Many clients start with visits every 2–4 weeks and gradually transition to less frequent follow-ups as they build confidence and progress toward their goals.

Yes. I provide customized meal plans when appropriate and tailor recommendations to your unique needs, preferences, schedule, and health goals.

I also understand that nutrition does not happen in isolation. Whether you are cooking for yourself, a partner, children, or an entire family, recommendations should fit into your real life. My goal is to create practical nutrition strategies that work for both your individual needs and your household whenever possible.

In addition to meal plans, I provide education, recipes, meal ideas, and realistic strategies that help you build sustainable habits for long-term success.

Not necessarily.

While tracking can be a useful tool for some individuals, it is not required. Recommendations are always individualized based on your goals, preferences, lifestyle, and relationship with food.

For many clients, we focus on sustainable habits, meal structure, hunger and fullness awareness, and practical nutrition strategies rather than detailed tracking.

No.

My approach is not based on strict food rules or unnecessary restriction. Instead, I help you learn how to make food choices that support your health goals while still enjoying the foods you love.

I believe nutrition should add to your life—not make it more stressful.

I work with a wide variety of nutrition concerns and health conditions.

Please visit the Services page for a complete list of specialties, conditions, and populations I support. If you are unsure whether I can help with your specific concern, feel free to reach out by phone or text.

Yes.

If you have recent lab results, we can review them together and discuss how they may relate to your nutrition, symptoms, and overall health goals.

Absolutely.

Many symptoms can be influenced by nutrition, eating patterns, lifestyle habits, stress, sleep, and other factors—even when lab work appears normal.

If something feels "off," nutrition counseling may help uncover opportunities to support your health and improve how you feel.

Absolutely.

With your written permission through a signed Release of Information (ROI), I am happy to collaborate with members of your healthcare team, including physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, counselors, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and specialists.

I strongly believe clients achieve the best outcomes when healthcare professionals work together toward shared goals.

No.

Body composition analysis and metabolism testing are included as part of your nutrition counseling session when appropriate and available. There is no additional fee for these services.

Yes. I believe meaningful change happens between appointments, not just during them.

Clients have access to direct support through phone calls and text messaging for brief questions, troubleshooting, accountability, and encouragement between sessions.

I am on this journey with you and am honored to be part of your support system. My goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Yes.

I offer both early morning and evening appointment times to accommodate work, school, family schedules, and other responsibilities.

My goal is to make nutrition care as convenient and accessible as possible.

Many of my clients come to me feeling frustrated after years of dieting, conflicting nutrition advice, or repeated attempts that did not feel sustainable.

Together, we focus on realistic strategies that fit your lifestyle and address the root causes of your challenges rather than relying on quick fixes.

That's completely okay.

Many people schedule their first appointment because they know they want to feel better but are not sure where to begin. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Part of my role is helping you identify meaningful goals and creating a plan that feels realistic and achievable.

That is completely okay.

Many people are unsure whether they need nutrition counseling or where to begin. If you are dealing with symptoms, food-related stress, a medical diagnosis, or simply want guidance creating healthier habits, nutrition counseling may be a valuable next step.

Feel free to reach out with questions before scheduling.

Yes. I am happy to offer a complimentary 10–15 minute discovery call.

This is a great opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, learn more about my approach, and determine whether we would be a good fit to work together.

To schedule a discovery call, please call or text 913-513-3640.

My mission is to provide accessible, insurance-covered nutrition care that helps individuals and families create sustainable, meaningful change.
