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 current nutritional status and

determine what nutritional 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 manage and

prevent disease, optimize your performance

and recovery, thrive, and empower you to

take control of your health and wellness.

each session, you may browse services here

​

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 without requiring

you to go in for an office visit.  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 Book a Complimentary Discovery Call

where we will discuss the details of your particular situation.

 

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.  I will have to check for updates to your state's regulations prior to us beginning working 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 of us working together.  

 

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.  Additionally, if you do not have coverage with one of these companies, I can offer you a SuperBill for potential reimbursement if you have out of network benefits.  Learn more about insurance coverage for nutrition counseling.

 

​If you are unsure which service or package is best for you, please book a complimentary Discovery Call.  We'll use this time to get to know each other a little better so I can make sure we're a good fit and recommend the best plan of action for you.
