Services
Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition therapy sessions address digestive health issues, eating disorders, and chronic conditions. Our approach combines clinical expertise with individual needs, focusing on intuitive eating principles. Clients receive evidence-based guidance to develop sustainable eating patterns that support both physical and emotional well-being.
Digestive Health Support
Specialized management for food allergies, intolerances, and conditions like IBS and SIBO. We implement Monash-trained FODMAP diet strategies while minimizing unnecessary restrictions. The program helps clients identify trigger foods through structured elimination and reintroduction protocols tailored to individual tolerance levels.
Eating Disorder Recovery
Comprehensive nutritional support for individuals recovering from disordered eating patterns. Our non-diet approach addresses food stress, restrictive behaviors, and body image concerns. Sessions focus on rebuilding trust in internal hunger cues and developing balanced relationships with food through compassionate, trauma-informed care.
PCOS Management
Targeted nutrition strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome address insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances. The program combines medical nutrition therapy with lifestyle modifications to improve symptoms while respecting individual health goals and body diversity through Health At Every Size principles.
Online Nutrition Therapy
Secure telehealth sessions provide accessible care across multiple states. The platform includes encrypted communications, digital intake forms, and resource sharing capabilities.
