Frequently Asked Questions
Is this right for me? What kind of clients do you work with?
You want a better relationship with food and body and are ready and willing to change behaviors in your life to have it! You aren't looking for a quick fix. You understand that lasting change does not happen overnight and the real value is in slow incremental change - the kind that truly becomes a part of your life. You are able to be honest about your struggles and are open to receiving support and feedback in order to achieve new perspective.
I'm not in Atlanta. Can I still work with you?
Yes, absolutely! I have online group coaching programs and also offer remote virtual one on one sessions. All you need is an internet connection and the desire to have peace in your relationship with food!
What can I expect from the initial 50 minute office consultation?
We will discuss your goals and challenges and I will share my thoughts on a proposed plan of action moving forward. This plan will entail the combination of sessions and resources that we both feel will best support you. You should be prepared to make a commitment to the process.
How many sessions will I need and how often?
This will depend on you. Some individuals achieve their goals in a matter of a few months, however for others this is a longer term process. I have some Eating Psychology Counseling clients that I've worked with weekly for up to 2 years. For others with more specific tangible goals, the work might be 3-6 months. From my experience, the sweet spot for starting to see real change is somewhere between the 2-3 month mark.
What is your philosophy?
I believe in each individual’s ability to change, heal and empower themselves toward the greatest version of themselves. Throughout our work together, I seek to understand your challenges and to help guide you back to the things that nurture and support your happiest and highest self.
What will I need to do?
In order for this process to be most effective for you, you will need to take an active role. This means working on the things you and I talk about both during and between sessions. Generally, the more of yourself you are willing to invest, the greater the return. This is your work, and I am here to support and guide you.
What kind of program do you offer?
My programs incorporate a parallel approach that combines a whole food philosophy with eating psychology counseling and goals coaching. Have you thought or said "I know what to do... I just don't do it!"? That's the space we'll dig into... the "why" and then the "how". As far as format, I coach clients in person, over the phone, virtually and through my online group coaching programs.
Will I receive a weekly meal plan?
I do not offer a weekly meal planning service. Lasting change comes from truly learning how to create meals for yourself based upon healthy eating guidelines. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day... teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".
I will help you figure out what you need to do to be successful and will support you in the planning, but it will be up to you to implement the weekly planning, meal prep and cooking.
How will we communicate?
Email, phone and text can be used for administrative purposes and scheduling issues. Our scheduled sessions (office or phone) are the only appropriate forum to work through any content related issues, unless this has been previously discussed and agreed upon by both parties.
Do you accept insurance?
I do accept most HSA cards. I am not listed in-network, therefore all of my services are self-pay. I am happy to provide you with receipts which may be used to request reimbursement from your insurance company.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask that if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment for any reason, you do so with at least 48 hours notice. Payment will be expected in full for sessions cancelled without 48 hours notice.
