Nutrition Counseling

Welcome!  I am so excited you're here!  I offer

1:1 virtual nutrition counseling services as a

California based Registered Dietitian, tailored

to your specific health, fitness, and wellness

needs.  These services are provided via

Practice Better's Telehealth system using

secure video chat and a HIPAA compliant 

online portal.

 

During our sessions, we will work together to

assess your nutritional status and determine

what nutrition and lifestyle changes need

to be made to help you reach your health

and fitness goals.  Together, we will create a

plan that allows you to make permanent

lifestyle changes to lose weight, manage

and prevent disease, optimize your 

performance and recovery, thrive, and

empower you to take control of your health

and wellness.

All MNT (Medical Nutrition Therapy) services

in California require a physician referral

based on California laws regarding 

registered dietitian services.  If you are

located in California and seeking help for a

medical condition or health concern, or are

looking to have your services covered by

insurance, including preventative services,

please have your physician fax their

referral to:

​

(650) 878-6893, or Complete This Form 

​

and fax it back to me.  Most physicians will provide this referral online requiring nothing more from you than a quick email or phone call to their office to make the request.  If you are seeking fitness or wellness only services, no referral is needed, but please be aware that insurance will only cover MNT services, which by California law, require a referral for MNT.  If you are unsure whether or not you need a referral, or what to ask your doctor for, please

Dietitian licensure laws for Medical Nutrition Therapy are dictated by the state the patient lives in.  At present, I am able to provide MNT services to clients located in California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, and weight control only services in certain other states including Georgia and North Carolina.  If you are located outside of California, Illinois, or Montana, I will have to check for updates to your state's regulations prior to us beginning work together.

 

​Sustainable lifestyle change requires habit development.  For this reason, I recommend meeting every week to every other week for a minimum of 3 months.

Insurance Coverage

​​​

I offer insurance covered nutrition counseling and insurance covered weight loss counseling, and currently accept Blue Shield of California, most other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans nationwide, United Healthcare, Aetna, and TriWest health insurance.  Most insurance plans do cover nutritional counseling for weight loss, chronic disease prevention, and healthy diet counseling, but please verify your coverage with your insurance provider prior to booking your first session by calling the number on the back of your card.  This is your responsibility, as you will be responsible for the cash price of the session if your claims are denied.  Additionally, if you do not have coverage, I can offer you a SuperBill for potential reimbursement if you have out of network benefits.  Please click the link below for more information on how to verify your benefits prior to booking your first session.
