INITIAL ASSESSMENT

FOLLOW-UP

The follow up sessions are based on the goals determined during the initial nutrition assessment.  The direction of the session is based on progress of goal completion; both successes and challenges are used to promote change.  The frequency of follow up sessions is agreed upon in the first session, regularly assessed for necessity  and ultimately is decreased as progress is achieved.  

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

One-on-one in person, phone/FaceTime or Skype distance sessions for out of area, state and/or international clients

GROUP COUNSELING

Periodic groups offered on various topics related to food/nutrition and body issues.

SUPERMARKET SESSIONS

When there is a need to provide a more hands on, direct experience in a supermarket setting, the session is held at a local grocery store.

MINDFUL MEAL OUTINGS

There is a difference between discussing food, food habits, eating patterns, etc and actually having support during an actual meal or snack. These sessions are typically held at local restaurants/cafes.

INTUITIVE EATING

Intuitive eating is an evidence-based model, an integration between mind and body that works by either cultivating or removing obstacles to body awareness, known as interoceptive awareness.  The way in which people respond to this awareness can provide a powerful portal to tap into for identifying his or her needs at any given time or situation.  

FOOD EXPOSURES

Clients can bring in challenging/forbidden foods to the session.  Exposure means ‘facing your fears’ and is the opposite of avoidance. When we avoid a food that we fear, the fear only gets stronger: by avoiding we don’t get to learn anything about our ability to cope.
