FAQs

What makes your program different?

Everyone has triggers that cause them to make poor food and eating choices. Alcohol, social situations, and sugar are just a few examples. I work with you to identify your triggers and then arm you with battle-tested strategies to overcome them.

I’m an expert AND I’m your coach. I will be with you every step of the way to support you and keep you accountable.

Food and eating should be enjoyable. I would never take that away from anyone. My plan is sustainable because it’s not punitive and you will never feel hungry. In fact, most of my clients prefer the meal plan that I create vs what they were eating before they came to me.

I teach you how to eat in the real world. Cook at home, eat out, order in, go to a friend’s house for dinner, go on vacation. You’ll learn how to successfully navigate any situation!

I want to talk to you before I commit. Can we arrange that?

YES! but only if you’re serious about working with me please! Unlike many people online, I won't send you to an assistant. You’ll get the real me. Book your complimentary consultation here.

Can I still drink alcohol while doing your program?

You can! Depending on your specific situation, I may ask you to reduce or even change your drink of choice. Remember: we make this plan work for your lifestyle, not the other way around.

Will I be hungry?

You don’t have to starve yourself to see results. In fact, my philosophy is that if you are hungry all the time, you can’t be successful. I have a number of strategies that help you feel fuller, longer and that will make you not need to eat between meals.

Do I need to see a nutritionist near me?

No. You need an experienced professional that’s going to create a personalized plan, coach you through it, hold you accountable, and be available to you wherever life takes you. My clients love the convenience, speed, and effectiveness of communicating via video and text.

Do you accept insurance?

No, but upon request and with a written diagnosis from your physician, I will provide you with a coded bill that you can submit to your insurance carrier. I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and licensed in the State of Connecticut. My NPI is 158826880 and my FEIN is 45-5436880.

Do you work with couples?

I work with couples in the same household to coordinate meals and shopping lists. Each person MUST be signed up for an active program, however.

I only want one session with you. Do you do that?

No, because I believe in long-term success and building a foundation of at least two sessions which you can get through my 14-day Jumpstart program.

I’m going on vacation. Should I wait until I return to get started?

Start as soon as possible! Why? Because learning how to eat while traveling and outside of your routine is something that you need to learn how to do anyway. I promise that this will not ruin your vacation.

Do I have to buy specific foods to do your plan?

I make a custom shopping list for you that includes many of the foods you already like. Because this is a lifestyle, we make the plan work around what you already enjoy!

Do I have to weigh myself?

This is completely up to you. Some of my clients weigh themselves to stay accountable and notice fluctuations, while others choose not to. Remember, this is about what works best for you long term.

I’m a picky eater or have food restrictions. Is this program right for me?

Sure! I work with many picky eaters and those with food restrictions to creatively map out meals that are wholesome and delicious and make them feel their best.

Do I need to exercise to see results?

No, but I am a big believer in balancing nutrition and exercise. Of course, every situation is different so let’s discuss what this means for you.

I don’t cook. Is this program for me?

Yes (and I don’t cook either btw!) My program is flexible based on your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Some of my clients cook, others dine out/order in, and others do a mix of both. I will customize your plan based on your individual routine.

What happens after our program ends?

We celebrate your success! Often, my clients will either sign up for another program or enroll in my ongoing maintenance program which offers ongoing support and accountability. As each case varies, we can discuss.
