Question 1

Are your services in-person or virtual?

Accepted Answer

Both!!
In London: I offer year-round in-person sessions here, since it’s home for me.
In New York City: I return seasonally for longer trips, and love seeing clients in person while I’m there.
In other locations: I host in-person retreats and mini-retreats for deeper community and practice.
Online (Zoom): I work with clients worldwide through virtual sessions – no matter where you are, we can connect.

Question 2

What are your credentials?

Accepted Answer

I received my Master's of Science in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. I also received my Bachelor's of Science in Applied Psychology and Nutrition from New York University.

I also am a:
Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist through the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist in New York State
Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor through the Original Intuitive Eating Professionals
Certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise
Registered Yoga Teacher through the Yoga Alliance
Certified Somatic Breathwork Facilitator through Somatic Release
​

Question 3

What is the difference between a "Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist" and a "nutritionist?"

Accepted Answer

As a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, I have completed a Bachelor's and Master's degree in nutrition. I have also completed American Dietetic Association Accredited clinical internships and passed national board exams. I also have the ability to diagnose nutrition-related problems.
 
A "nutritionist" is a blanket, unregulated term that anybody can claim themselves as. There are no credentials required to be considered a nutritionist, but there is a Master's, Bachelor's, clinical internship, and board exam required to be a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I operate as an out-of-network provider. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be provided with a Superbill at the end of each month, which can be submitted to insurance carriers for potential reimbursement. You should check with your insurance carrier for details of your coverage.
​
If you would like to inquire about Out of Network Reimbursement, call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions to verify reimbursement before booking your first appointment:

Do I have out-of-network benefits to see a Registered Dietitian for the following CPT codes: initial session 97802, follow-up sessions 97803.
If yes, what amount of the fee will you cover?
Is pre-authorization required in order to submit an out-of-network claim?
What is the deductible, and how much of the deductible have I met?
​
​You may also ask exactly how to submit your Superbill for reimbursement.
​
If your insurance plan does not cover nutrition counseling but you do have a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account (HSA/FSA) card, you can use that to pay for your sessions.

Question 5

How would you describe your approach to nutrition coaching?

Accepted Answer

My work is holistic and layered. Yes, I bring the nutrition science (that part doesn’t go anywhere!) – but I also weave in body image counseling, somatic practices, mindfulness, and spiritual tools. I don’t just hand you a meal plan; I help you create a whole new way of relating to food, your body, and yourself

Question 6

What if I don't want to work on food with you?

Accepted Answer

Totally welcome here. While I'm a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, that's only one of the hats I wear...and plenty of my clients have never done a scrap of food work with me. I've worked with people as a life coach, an energy healer, breathwork coach, and a body image coach. And those relationships stand fully on their own. I have a dedicated "energy work" track and a "body image" track for my 1:1 counseling work, neither of which is about meal plans, macros, or what's on your plate. That said, I'll be honest with you: food and bodies live close together, so I can't promise the topic will never wander in. If it does, we'll meet it gently and only ever on your terms: no agenda, no fixing, no lab coat unless you ask for it. You get to decide what we touch and what we leave alone. Always.

Question 7

Do you provide weight loss plans?

Accepted Answer

The pursuit of weight loss is not the same thing as the pursuit of health. So I do NOT use weight loss as a marker of progress in our work. To mark your progress, I use things like energy levels, quality of life, mental/emotional state, blood pressure, lab values, digestion, rate of perceived exertion...and MANY other factors besides body weight, shape, or size.

Instead of pursuing weight loss, I believe in pursuing better energy levels, less stress, a better relationship with food, better digestion, and holistic wellbeing.

**If you are in recovery from an eating disorder or another medical condition, weight trends might be tracked, but only as a marker of medical safety.

Question 8

I am feeling like counseling services are too expensive - what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

My services are meant to help you feel less stressed and more empowered. If you have to choose between basic needs and investing in my services, then please prioritize those forms of self-care. But if making the investment in yourself just feels like a bit of leap, please remember that releasing dieting and learning to take care of yourself in a sustainable, accessible, and enjoyable way will ultimately save you THOUSANDS of dollars over the rest of your life.
 
You will never spend money on a dead-end diet again. You will never be pulled into buying expensive supplements and teas that don't do anything. With the knowledge, tools, and processing space that we provide, you will be able to customize your wellness in a way that works for YOU and your budget. Also, the payout of being free from body shame is HUGE. If this is something you desire, please say yes to yourself!
 
If you would like to propose a payment plan that makes my services more affordable for you, please don't hesitate to do so. And if you are serious about healing your relationship with food and your body, but can’t make any of my services work financially at the moment, check out my free monthly workshops (registration links are always shared on Instagram). And finally, keep in mind that you can use is an HSA/FSA card to pay for services.

Question 9

Do you offer sliding scale rates or scholarship spaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Yearly, I offer 5-10 sliding scale spaces for 1:1 counseling and scholarship spaces in my group coaching program. If you have a financial need, you may inquire about sliding scale and scholarship availability!
