Free Initial Consultation
In our free initial consultation we will discuss your unique situation in depth and determine how I can help you reach your personal goals. We will determine whether we are a good match and if my approach will work for you. This first session will demonstrate how a holistic, individualized approach can make a major difference in your life.
Your Personalized Holistic Nutrition Program
The goals of your personalized Holistic Nutrition Program are to radically change your life, to resolve health concerns specific to you and your body, and to provide you with nourishment tools for a lifetime of balance. We will work together to find the right foods for your body and medical condition, and to strengthen the areas of your life that bring you joy, peace, and inspiration. Diets don't work because they neglect to nourish the deeper parts of yourself. Integrative Nourishment offers a unique approach that feeds the whole you. It's founded on awareness, freedom of choice, and self-compassion, and thus provides meaningful, lasting results.
Your Program covers...
- Creating goals and a wellness vision
- Customized nutrition therapy
- Nourishment vs. deprivation
- Understanding cravings and barriers to change
- Taking consistent action
- Eating for emotional balance and mental clarity
- Cultivating emotion regulation skills
- Transforming negative self-talk
- Making simple lifestyle changes
- Being healthy on the road and on the go
- Surviving celebrations and holidays
- Satisfying all your senses
- Creating lasting balance
- Ease in cooking whole foods
- Menu planning
- Feeding your spirit
Like most of us, you have probably tried a variety of diets. However, the emphasis that most diets place on willpower, deprivation and denial is unrealistic, unnecessary and unnatural. Unless you have a plan that is practical, works with your lifestyle, and accommodates for your individuality, the changes you work so hard to make will not last. My expertise is in helping you to figure out what works best for you.
Your Program includes...
- Two, one-hour sessions a month, including detailed recommendations
- Monthly wellness group with my other clients to celebrate successes, share tips, and discuss health topics important to you
- E-mail support between sessions
- Access to my extensive lending library of health and wellness books, CDs, and DVDs
- A monthly newsletter
- A variety of handouts, recipes and other materials
Conventional dietary theories present you with food restrictions and limitations that are difficult to sustain over time. Such quick fixes do nothing to help you achieve life-long health and happiness, nor do they bring out the body's natural inclination toward balance. Based on your needs, I will gradually introduce new and healthful foods and activities into your lifestyle. As you start to feel better, these habits will have a natural tendency to remain with you, and will crowd out the less healthful ones.
In becoming healthier, other areas of your life such as relationships, career and creativity start to improve. You will naturally begin to crave the foods and activities that make you feel better, and you will feel more motivated to make time in your life for those things that are truly important to you.
Consultations are available in person or over the phone. Certain insurance plans accepted.

Your Seasonal Nourishment Cleanse Program
Did you know that in a lifetime, you’ll consume about 60,000 pounds of food? That’s about the weight of six elephants! It is estimated that the average American consumes over 100 pounds of refined sugar and 55 pounds of fats and oils per year in the form of soda pop, gum, candy, potato chips, corn chips, popcorn, pretzels, donuts, pastries, cakes and cookies, and ice cream. And then there's the 4 billion pounds of addictives, pesticides, and herbicides dumped onto our foods each year...
With all that we ingest, it’s a good idea to periodically cleanse, to give the body the loving attention, rest, and vital nutrients it needs to restore itself. This mini-retreat allows you to eliminate the accumulated waste matter and toxins that contribute to so much physical and mental illness in this country.
Common symptoms of toxicity that can significantly improve with cleansing:
- Addictions (cigarettes, caffeine, sugar, junk food)
- Allergies (food and seasonal)
- Bad breath or body odor
- Candida
- Chronic pain
- Constipation
- Cravings (sugar, caffeine, junk food)
- Depression, anxiety, hopelessness
- Digestive problems (bloating, gas, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome)
- Dull skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions
- Fatigue, lethargy, sluggishness
- Headaches and migraines
- Hormone imbalance
