Our team includes registered dietitians, certified personal trainers, and wellness coaches who work collaboratively to design programs that fit your individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle. We believe in building healthy relationships with food and exercise while creating realistic, sustainable habits that support long-term success rather than short-term fixes.

Insurance & Pricing
Some of our nutrition counseling services may be covered by insurance, particularly for clients with diabetes, heart disease, or other qualifying conditions. We'll help verify your benefits and work with your insurance provider when possible. Our registered dietitians can provide documentation needed for insurance reimbursement.
For services not covered by insurance, we offer transparent pricing and flexible package options. Individual nutrition sessions typically range from $75-125, while personal training sessions are $60-90. We also offer discounted packages that combine multiple services and provide better value for ongoing support. Payment plans are available to help make our services accessible to more families.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, take some time to reflect on your weight loss history, current eating patterns, and activity level. Consider what approaches have worked or failed for you in the past and what obstacles consistently challenge you. This self-reflection will help us create a more effective, personalized program.
Come to your initial consultation with realistic expectations about the timeline for sustainable weight loss. Prepare to discuss your lifestyle honestly, including work schedules, family responsibilities, and social situations that affect your eating and exercise patterns. Most importantly, approach this process with patience and self-compassion. Building lasting healthy habits takes time, but our team will support you every step of the way. Focus on progress rather than perfection, and celebrate small victories along your journey.
