Individual Nutrition Counseling

I work with couples, individuals, and families on a range of health issues. Due to Covid-19 I am currently offering tele-health video sessions only. I can work with remote clients based in many states, please inquire for details. Initial sessions are 60 minutes, follow-ups are 45 minutes.

Working with a nutritionist is more like working with a therapist than visiting a doctor, and you should expect to make a few visits to see benefits; regular sessions will likely lead to better results. That being said, my goal is to empower you to take charge of your own health, not to keep you coming back!

I do not take health insurance, but if you have medical diagnoses I can generate superbills for you to submit to your insurance provider.

Stand-alone Nutrition Assessments

Many people are curious as to whether they or their children are eating a balanced diet that meets all of their nutrient needs, especially if they avoid certain food groups (e.g. vegetarian or gluten-free), or have children who are picky eaters. A stand-alone dietary assessment involves you recording everything you eat and drink for three days, and then sending me the data to analyze.

I will look at big picture information, like whether you're getting adequate calories and a good balance of macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates), all the way down to the nitty-gritty of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) for your specific life stage (e.g. preschooler, adolescent, pregnant woman).

You will receive a report summarizing my findings, with tips for how to increase any nutrients that may be lacking, and how to change up regular items in your diet that may not be supporting your health.

 Public Workshops & Engagements

Workshops can be a good opportunity to learn more about a particular health topic. If you are a local school or business interested in hosting a workshop, please contact me!

Prior workshops and presentations have included:
  • An experiential veggie tasting workshop for preschoolers
  • Educational materials on nutrition during lactation for a postpartum wellness workshop
  • Intuitive eating workshop (fundraiser for local food bank over the holiday season)
  • How to pack a week of healthy lunches for the price of a school lunch at Woodlin Elementary school, Montgomery county, MD
  • Nutritional Impact of Birth Decisions for Baby (and you!) at a Bump and Brunch event for expectant mamas in Takoma Park

Professional Continuing Education

Sometimes people want nutrition education for professional rather than personal purposes - I love to teach, and it's a big part of what I do. Whether you are a dietitian/nutritionist looking for more of a deep dive into specific life cycle nutrition topics, or a doula wanting to understand pre- and postnatal nutrition to better assist their clients, I can create a custom education program to meet your interests. Classes will be phone or video-based.

I also have an online continuing education program under development, covering perinatal and pediatric nutrition topics for health professionals, due to a lack of comprehensive professional education in this area. If you're interested in participating in beta mode, please join my private FaceBook group: www.facebook.com/groups/793087478280322. I'm planning to get the program accredited for CEU too.
