General FAQs
As a Health at Every Size (HAES, pronounced hayz), I am not focused on your weight as a health indicator. I also view food in neutral terms - not as something that is good/bad or healthy/unhealthy. Food is just food, and foods serve different nutrient or emotional purposes.
What I am interested in is your relationship with food and your body, and supporting you to develop peace in these relationships.
I am also interested in helping you define health and healthy in ways that feel supportive and helpful for you.
In the context of gestational diabetes, a HAES approach helps you develop a flexible, non-punishing approach to eating and moving your body (if movement feels accessible at this phase of your pregnancy).
Instead of viewing food as something that needs to be labeled "good" or "bad", I can help you develop a gentler approach so that food doesn't feel like your enemy.
We will meet for six sessions over the course of your final trimester.
Sessions take place by secure video.
During the first session, we will discuss your eating history, how you feel about food and your body and any other relevant information you feel comfortable discussing. Depending on what your concerns are in session, you decide what manageable goals you want to set for the following session.
In follow-up sessions, we will begin any nutrition education you are interested in learning and how you can incorporate small changes into your life. We will also discuss any successes or challenges since the previous meeting or any topic that feels pressing to you that day.
Several insurers have recently decreased their reimbursement rates for dietitians. Because of this, I have made the difficult decision to stop accepting insurance.
I offer various package and payment options that we can discuss.
Please contact your insurer to inquire about out-of-network coverage using the questions in this out-of-network form. I will provide you with a superbill after each session to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
Yes! If you want to get to know me and my style, single initial consultation sessions are available.
