Your Initial Consultation (60-90 minutes)

Here is where you tell me your story. I’ll ask detailed questions and leave ample space for you to tell me your authentic experience. I’ll review your medical history, labs, and current food and lifestyle habits, but recommendations will come during the follow-up sessions.

Follow-Up Sessions (45-60 minutes)

We’ll discuss your custom plan and implement strategies to help you reduce your symptoms, feel good about your nutrition choices, and confident about your ability to manage your own health. We’ll create a plan together as I guide you through each step, making alterations as needed as we go.
