FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I accept private pay or insurance. I am in-network with Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna and ConnectiCare. These plans often cover at least 1 but up to UNLIMITED nutrition appointments for free or a nominal fee (~$10 or less). I also accept FSA/HSA payment (remember most FSA funds need to be used by the end of the year or they are gone!) If you have another insurance carrier (not listed) and have out-of-network benefits I am able to provide you a superbill (receipt of service) for possible reimbursement. Unsure of your benefits? Just ask so we can find the most affordable option for you! Most of my clients have been struggling with their nutrition for years! Therefore I require a minimum 3 month commitment for working together to create real change, but many of my clients find they need 6-9 months (or longer!) to achieve their goals.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a free 15 minute phone call to discuss why you are looking for nutrition counseling. If we are a good fit, you’ll then complete an in-depth questionnaire followed by an initial 60 minute video-chat session with personalized nutrition recommendations. During this first session we'll create goals together that you will be excited to start working on right away. After that we’ll meet for 30 minute follow-up sessions to continue working towards your wellness and building on your new habits. In between sessions I expect you to log your food/physical activity each day so I can review it weekly and I am available to message. There are 2 options for counseling. We can meet weekly or twice/month (initial session 60 minutes and follow-ups 30 minutes). All of the video-chat sessions are held virtually through a HIPAA-compliant platform called Practice Better (accessible by computer or phone with an app).
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a registered dietitian and a licensed healthcare provider. Not just any Nutritionist can call themselves a "Registered Dietitian". I have a Master's in Health Promotion, had to complete a 1200-hour internship and pass the national Dietitian registration exam. All of my recommendations are based on research and clinical judgement from working in the field. Nutrition is constantly changing and new research coming out, I believe everyone can do things to improve their wellbeing and it is my hope to share what I’ve learned in my education and work experience with all of you to make a healthier community.
