Services and Benefits
IMPORTANT: Our nutrition services are provided by a Certified Nutrition Coach, NOT a Registered Dietician. A nutrition coach can help with nutritional goals such as understanding macronutrients and building healthy habits. Nutrition coaches cannot diagnose or treat any conditions. Registered dieticians are healthcare professionals with the training to assist individuals with more complex health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid conditions, pregnancy, eating disorders, etc. If your needs exceed the scope of nutrition coaching, we will happily refer you to a more appropriate healthcare provider.

Follow-up sessions may be scheduled after completing your initial intake appointment. You may schedule these follow-ups as frequently or infrequently as you would like. You will discuss how your nutrition plan is progressing, and any necessary changes will be made to help you better meet your goals.
