FAQ
Program & Fees:

Program:  
As a nutritionist I educate and guide you on how to make better choices about the food
you eat and your eating patterns.
 Your unique biochemical needs and lifestyle are the building
blocks for the individualized program provided.  Your program may include a customized food
plan, nutritional and herbal supplementation, stress-reduction and relaxation techniques, and
exercise recommendations.  We work together to develop a program to help you achieve your goals.
Fees:
The Comprehensive Assessment, or initial visit, is usually 2.25 hours.  I do request you bring with you
at least a three-day food diary.  In addition, I suggest you take along any vitamins and herbs you are
taking at present so I can provide my recommendations.  

Comprehensive Assessment - initial consultation (includes meal planning guidelines & basic supplements
review)
2.25 hours $160 (
WholeHealth Networks 10% discount applicable)
Due to the fact that my initial work on your case begins with review of your basic information and food
diary, a non-refundable
$50 deposit is required upon scheduling the Comprehensive Assessment.  This
does not affect your ability to reschedule your appointment with 24 hour notice if necessary.  Prior to
your appointment (no less than 3 days before), you must email me a 7-day food diary which includes
meals and snacks eaten and the approximate time of day.  I also would like for you to indicate exercise
performed, if any, on these days.  You can mail me this information, but I must receive it no later than 3
days prior to the assessment.

Individualized 7-Day Food Plan, Summary of Guidelines, In-depth Supplement Analysis
This is designed to meet your specific biochemical needs & lifestyle and is provided by email or regular
mail subsequent to the Comprehensive Assessment (must be requested within 2 weeks of assessment)

Since many insurance companies do not reimburse for nutritional consultations or only for specific
health issues, insurance is not accepted.  Please ask your insurance company about your particular plan.  
Usually nutrition consultations can be submitted under Flexible Spending Accounts, but be sure to
check with your insurance company for the specifics.  You will be provided with a receipt which you can
submit to your insurance company for any such reimbursement.
