Work with me

Nutritional Therapy Practitioners are trained to interpret foundational imbalances in the body and use diet, lifestyle, and supplemental nutrients to bring the body back into balance.

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner I help you achieve results by:

  • Beginning our work with a thorough health history and re-assessing whenever necessary

  • Focusing on the root cause, rather than managing each individual symptom

  • Working systematically to address foundational body systems in order of importance

  • Educating you on lifestyle modifications to compliment your nutritional protocol

  • Empowering you to embrace your own agency in the process of resolving your health symptoms

This approach is fundamentally different than the medical model, and relies on you being an active and open minded participant in your health journey. You will get out what you put into this process. 

Step 1: Initial Consultation, 15 minutes (by phone), Free

This consultation is an opportunity for you to tell me about your symptoms and health goals and ask any questions you may have about nutritional therapy. I will tell you about my philosophy, and ask you some questions about your expectations of the process, and your needs in a client-practitioner relationship.

Together we will decide if you are a good candidate for the nutritional therapy process we will move on to the intake scheduling process.

In some cases I may not feel that I am the best practitioner for you, based either on the type of care you require or your readiness to participate in a functional nutrition process. In this case I will make a referral or provide you with resources that best suit your needs. 

Step 2: Comprehensive Intake Appointment, 90 minutes (in office or via secure video chat), $180

Once we have decided to work together, this is the first step for all new clients. Prior to booking your appointment I will ask you to complete the following paperwork:

  • 3-Day Food and Mood Journal

  • Health History Questionnaire

  • Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (comprehensive symptom survey)

  • Nutritional Therapy Disclaimer/Consent Form

After completing and submitting all of your new client paperwork we will schedule a time for your first appointment. Local clients are encouraged to come to this first appointment in person (107 Wilcox Rd. Stonington, CT). For distance clients, the appointment will be conducted through a secure video chat. 
In this appointment I will:

  • Review and analyze your intake paperwork

  • Conduct a 90 minute interview with you reviewing all relevant symptoms, health history, and lifestyle factors

  • Generate a comprehensive written protocol for you including:

    • Customized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations

    • Supplementary resources such as meal templates, shopping lists, books, youtube videos, worksheets, etc.

    • Motivation and behavioral strategies for accountability and stress management

    • Recommendations for functional lab work

    • Referrals when appropriate

All appointments include a 10 minute follow up phone call, ideally scheduled halfway between your last appointment and your next. I highly encourage all clients to take advantage of this included service to seek clarification, hold yourself accountable, and increase your likelihood of success with your current protocol. 

Step 3: Follow-up Appointments, 45 minutes,  (in office or via secure video chat), $150

After completing the Comprehensive Intake Appointment you will be able to book follow up appointments in packages or a la cart. Each follow up appointment includes:

  • Food and Mood journal analysis and guidance

  • Review and update of your comprehensive written protocol

  • Detailed education around your symptoms and my recommendations

  • A 10 minute between appointments follow up phone call

I encourage all clients to book blocks of appointments to honor the incremental nature of nutritional therapy, wherein a commitment to long term diet lifestyle change will yield the best results.

Package 2: 6 appointments, 6 follow up calls, $810 ( 10% discount) - to be used within 6 months*

Payment

I manage my weekly caseload to ensure you receive the highest quality of care. For this reason, you will be asked to reserve your appointment time with a credit card number. In the case of a no-show or late cancellation your card will be automatically charged the late cancellation fee. 

Credit/Debit is our preferred method of payment. If you choose to use the card on file it will be charged at the time of purchase for packages and after your appointment for a la carte services.

Clients may use their HSA/FSA accounts to pay for clinical services, but generally not supplements (check with your individual insurance provider). Itemized invoices will be provided for all appointments. I do not participate with insurance plans and am unable to provide insurance billing codes for reimbursement.

Late cancellations, (less than 48 hours in advance of the appointment) will be automatically charged a $50 late fee. This applies to pre-purchased appointments as well as a la cart services. Missed follow up phone calls will not be charged but will not be rescheduled.
