FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to get a strong understanding of your current habits first with a few questionnaires. I believe classifying foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ may foster unhealthful eating behaviors because we want what we can't have. I prefer monitoring calorie intake with some instruction on better food choices and nutrient balancing. My counseling is very individualized because I believe that everyone is individual. I have some websites that I love that will give you some menus with grocery lists and we can do a few menus based on your food preferences so that you know how to create your own. So to summarize, I will likely give you a calorie prescription based on your height/weight and desired weight loss. We will review portions and food groups and design a meal pattern based on your environment.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors Degree from Florida State University in Nutritional Science and many years of experience counseling patients and clients.
