A: I currently do not accept insurance, but you can use your HSA/FSA card for these appointments. Additionally, I can provide a SuperBill for you, which does require you to submit payment first, but you may submit it to your insurance company to potentially receive reimbursement. If this was of interest, please bring it up during your 15 minute discovery call here. It is your responsibility to check your benefits and coverage with your insurance provider.

A: To ensure that you’re getting the best service, please:

Show up on time, and in a quiet environment with good wifi connection. Sessions while driving, commuting, or while in the background of another meeting are unacceptable.

Come prepared with questions or observations and ask for clarification during the appointment if needed.

Be open and honest. Nutrition is a vulnerable topic for many, but to withhold the truth or hide information can delay progress. This time is for you and is a safe space for any/all conversation and you are not being judged for anything you say (we all eat dessert so it’s okay to say if you had some ice cream!).

Review your session notes that will be uploaded within 48 hours after your appointment, and refer back to it if you need a refresher on your goals.

Chat the sports dietitian with any questions you have between appointments. If it does warrant a more in-depth response/analysis, the dietitian may save it for your next session to fully dive into the prompt and give you the best answer possible! There are no “dumb” questions - use the resources you’re investing in!

Be open to feedback, making changes, building self-awareness, and to make mistakes. Building your fueling skillset is a journey, and it is not about perfection, but rather, progress/effort.

Be yourself, trust the process, practice patience, and recognize any/all wins!

A: Absolutely not! Fueling works around your food preferences, choices, accessibility, and budget. All foods can & should fit into an athlete’s diet, especially when considering the sustainability of your actions. As the practitioner, I will always encourage you to try new foods and expand your palette, but there will never be any force-feeding, shaming, guilt-tripping, or any other unproductive modalities.

A: My philosophy is performance/health first, weight second (with the exception of weight-class athletes like BJJ, MMA, wrestling, boxing, who need to be a certain weight to compete in their sport but certainly do need to perform at a high level too). A lower weight doesn’t always mean better performance or health, and there are other measurements that have greater value to human performance than the number on the scale. Successful “weight-loss” clients under my guidance build a healthy relationship with their bodies & food which may ultimately result in a desirable body composition changes, but how they feel/perform and the sustainability of habits is what triumphs.
