FAQ

For anyone outside of Colorado, yes. 

For Colorado clients- I have limited in-person availability at my office in Boulder. If you would like to meet in person, please let me know in your inquiry. 

Yes. I partner with Nourish to accept and bill insurance. 

There is a $75 fee if you cancel within 24hrs of your appointment time or if you do not show up for your appointment. This is because dietitians are only reimbursed for face to face time with patients and this is to make sure I have enough time to refill that slot. 

​

That being said, I'm human and I get that life happens. If you need to cancel, please try to get in touch with me ASAP. I will happily waive that fee if you are too ill to attend or in the case of a family emergency. 

A dietitian or "registered dietitian nutritionist" (RDN) is a legally protected title. To become a dietitian you must:

- complete a Bachelor or Master's degree in Nutrition

- pass the Commission on Dietetic Registration exam 

- complete ongoing continuing education credits annually

​

"Nutritionist" is not a legally protected title meaning anyone can call themself a nutritionist. 

​

Working with a dietitian guarantees you're working with one of the highest ranking nutrition professionals that's been trained under and follows the most up-to-date, science-backed, ethical, and clinical guidelines for patient care. 

All initial appointments are 55 minutes. This is to make sure we have enough time to review your intake form and get started mapping out your care plan. Follow-ups may be booked for 30 or 55 minutes. 

Frequency of appointments is determined case by case. Most often, I meet with clients bi-weekly for 2-4 months before transitioning to monthly or as-needed appointments. This is because lasting change takes time. Appointments are designed to support sustainable change through professional nutrition guidance while fostering autonomy and confidence over time. 

​

I always take into consideration your goals, scheduling preferences and clinical/nutrition status when determining frequency. You will always have a say in how often or little we meet. 

I do not create meal plans. I find that rigid meal plans are difficult to follow and don't allow for changes in plans, mood, appetite, or energy level. Instead, I will happily offer guidelines and structure to meal planning and adapting. After all, you know yourself and your schedule better than I ever will. 

Yes and no. Weight loss is far more complex than health trends lead us to believe (changing weight isn't simply adding/subtracting calories but more like doing college calculus without a calculator).

I encourage my clients to look at weight change as a side effect, not an end goal, as we focus on condition-specific care and fostering a positive relationship with food and body. 

No. I operate from a "foods first" approach where supplements are a supplemental option to our diet. If it's determined that a supplement is needed, I will offer guidance in selecting safe and effective supplement brands and dosages.
