Nutrition Counseling and Diabetes Education

Receive personalized nutrition and diabetes advice, tailored to your body and your past medical history. We will work toward making realistic changes that you can continue for the rest of your life. For best results, a minimum of three visits are recommended - we can't do everything in one day! All clients receive access to Nourish's Client Portal, which allows you to log your food intake (optional), document your workouts, and ask questions.  Please note, we do not work with eating disorders.

Choose either in-person sessions or virtual sessions (via confidential and HIPAA-compliant video). 
Initial Assessment: $110 (often covered by insurance). See insurance information below for details.
During this one hour session, we will discuss your health concerns, challenges, and goals. If you feel comfortable, we will measure your body fat percentage also. We will review any relevant lab work that you bring to your appointment. ​
We will discuss what foods to include, what foods to avoid, ideal portions for your body, guidance on how to eat at restaurants, and the best time to eat. Exercise will also be addressed. If you have diabetes, we'll be sure to address all 7 areas of diabetes self-management throughout our visits.
You'll receive a detailed list of meal ideas and recipes. Need a meal plan to help you get started? No problem! Your meal plan will be designed to help you see what delicious and healthy meals you can enjoy and still reach your health goals, however, we know that meal plans are not something anyone can follow forever. You'll be able to deviate from the meal plan anytime with the advice that you receive.
Follow-up Sessions: $40 (often covered by insurance). See insurance information below for details.
During these half-hour sessions, we'll measure your success, review your meal photos (or food log), and troubleshoot any challenges you encountered along the way.  We're looking for progress, not perfection!
​Each session you'll receive encouragement, new ideas, time-saving meal prep tips, recipes, and more. We'll also set new behavior goals so that you're continuously improving your habits. This is what leads to lifelong weight maintenance and a nourished life! I recommend a minimum of three sessions so that we can cover enough information and develop sustainable behaviors.

Insurance and Fees

Insurance often covers individual nutrition counseling! Each insurance plan is different, so the easiest way to find out if it's covered is to call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask! Request to find out your benefits for "preventive nutrition counseling." If you have diabetes, you may want to ask if your plan covers "nutrition counseling for diabetes." If you have any problems finding out what your benefits are, just let us know and we can help. Read more about fees and specific plans below. The information below is based on what usually happens with these insurance companies. We cannot guarantee coverage because we must submit claims based on your weight and medical history.
