Why should you consider working with a registered dietitian?

Eating right is a good idea for everyone. But changing your eating habits can be a daunting task. That's why people often look for help from me. To see more about my credentials, click here.

What happens during a consult?

Our first visit is usually 60-90 minutes. We will review your medical history, your current usual diet, your health concerns, and your short and long term goals. Then we will discuss strategies to help you achieve those goals. You will receive handouts and guidelines for use at home.

My clients have described me as enthusiastic, intuitive, and empathetic. I can help you sort through the confusing world of nutrition information (and misinformation) and focus on positive approaches to food and movement. This emphasis on “to-do” behaviors eliminates deprivation, encourages problem-solving and self-management, and supports your long-term success.

How often do we meet?

That depends on you. Some people find they can get what they need from one visit while others require follow-up visits. These can be 30-60 minutes and provide ongoing strategies and accountability.

Who can benefit from a nutrition consult?
I have counseled hundreds of people over my 30 years of experience and have expertise with the following:

Cancer prevention or preventing a reoccurrence
Celiac disease

Diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome

Digestive problems

Healthy aging

Healthy eating for infants, toddlers, children, and teens

Heart disease

High cholesterol

High triglycerides

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Menopause

Men’s health

Osteoporosis

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)

Weight loss and weight management

Women’s health issues (PMS, menopause)

Vegetarianism

How much does a consult cost?

My hourly fee is $125 and a 30 minute follow-up consult is $65.

To encourage ongoing support, I also offer a package of consults:

Five 30 minute consults purchased together is $300

Five 60 minute consults purchased together is $600

Where do we meet?

I am located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I also work with people by telephone if you live out of the area or it is more convenient for you due to scheduling constraints.

What about insurance?

My clients pay me directly at the time of our visit in person (by cash, check, or money order) or in advance for telephone consults. I do not bill insurance companies directly. I can give you a superbill if you wish to attempt to get reimbursement from your insurance company. Reimbursement varies depending on your policy. Some of my clients have received reimbursement at their out-of-network rate.
