Initial Nutritional Consultation
Experience your next deep-dive into new nutritional possibilities aiming towards greater health and vitality! Together, we go through your health history, goals and lifestyle practices - which you send in writing ahead of time - and then co-create suggestions for your next step, spiraling upwards, to greater capacity, fulfillment and joy! You will leave with a highly personalized protocol of suggestions for FOODS (from thinking and learning about, and categorizing them, to then shopping, storing, cooking, and planning with them), SUPPLEMENTS and lots of NEW PERSPECTIVES.
Follow-up appointments are generally 1 hour and cost $150. I don't sell packages, but rather
engage clients in the timing that best fits their needs. Typical client follow-up consultations range from yearly, to seasonally, to monthly. The most frequently that I suggest meeting is every 2 weeks. This allows for the time necessary to both obtain the suggested food and/or supplement items and then to use them enough to both have questions and to have a sense for how they are effecting them. This greater frequency is for people with a significant acute situation. I have been called "The Analytical Animal of Maryland Nutrition" - for my ability to work with complex cases. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you on your path towards greater health.
My individual nutritional consultations can also be planned as part of a larger immersive Health Home Nutrition (HHN) or Health Home Tourism (HHT) experience, on location, either in Bethesda, Maryland or in Reading, Pennsylvania.
A variety of immersive Health Home Nutrition (HHN) or Health Home Tourism (HHT) experiences, on location, either in Bethesda, Maryland or in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Let's talk! This can entail a variety of possibilities. I help clients in the kitchen, teaching and eating together, over multiple days for a "Quick Start to Health" learning experience.
This can be for one person, or several from a family or other group, or an experience with new-to-you others who are requesting a similar learning environment. You can either stay overnight in the AirBnB part of the HHT destination location or stay locally and simply come each day of the experience. Experiential learning is often the best way to be able to then replicate and DO what your next steps to health are, in your own kitchen when you arrive back home. Priced depends on the activities and time frames requested.
Shopping Excursion
Let's go shopping together! This means different store/farm/market locations, depending on where you live. We will go to food-resources which are conveniently close to your home, and discuss the pros and cons of what is available. Ideally, this service is paired with the Kitchen Visit, so that we can take what is purchased and have the experience of efficiently moving it into the kitchen to optimize healthier food preparation.
The experience is $120 per hour with a 3 hour minimum, but it can be much longer as well.
This experience is available for clients who are within 25 miles of Bethesda Maryland, or 25 miles of Reading Pennsylvania.
Kitchen Visit!
You would be my client, but I would your kitchen guest! I visit your kitchen and, respectfully, with nothing thrown out by me, we go through the organization and content of your kitchen. I make suggestions on foods and supplements to add, subtract and substitute, including shopping recommendations for my suggestions. My ideal kitchen style is the Julia Childs kitchen style - meaning that your tools of food creation are more visual than is typical, and more is easily available for use. I also make recommendations on hook and shelf systems for walls, hanging pot racks and other ways to increase access to your foods, utensils and your small appliances. The experience is $120 per hour with a 3 hour minimum, but it can be much longer as well. This experience is available for clients who are within 25 miles of Bethesda Maryland, or 25 miles of Reading Pennsylvania. The Shopping Excursions and Kitchen Visits can be life changing! They can help you to be more capable of taking charge of your health!
Nutrition Community (NC) Study Night - designed for health professionals
This is a community-building learning experience. We gather together and all contribute to a deep-dive discussion of a particular health topic. So far, the health topics which are on the agenda through 2022 are: sleep, ADHD, Vitamin A, and cancer.
This is designed for health professionals who all are capable of contributing and sharing on an academic level and clinical level with clients/patients, in addition to what they have personally experienced. The goal of this sharing of information is to come out with, collectively, a greater level of understanding for all. I hope is for an evening of many "eureka" experiences for the participants. To be included in the email list for these community experiences, please email me your relevant information: professional health qualifications, the topics that you would be interested in discussing (both from my current list of 4 topics as well as other topics which you have a special interest in), which of the two locations that you would be able to attend physically (the Bethesda, MD or the Reading, PA location), and the evenings that are generally free for you to attend.
