What to Expect
Your journey starts with a comprehensive health and lifestyle assessment, including discussion of your medical history, eating patterns, stress levels, and previous weight loss attempts. We may recommend functional testing to identify food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances that could be impacting your weight.
Based on your assessment, we create an integrated treatment plan that may include customized nutrition protocols, targeted supplementation, and regular massage therapy sessions. You'll receive detailed meal plans, shopping lists, and recipes tailored to your preferences and nutritional needs. Weekly check-ins allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. We also provide cooking classes and educational workshops to deepen your understanding of healthy living. Throughout your program, we emphasize gradual, sustainable changes that become lasting lifestyle habits.

Insurance & Pricing
Individual nutritional consultations start at $125 for initial assessments and $75 for follow-up sessions. Massage therapy ranges from $80-120 per session depending on the type and duration. Complete wellness packages combining nutrition counseling, massage therapy, and supplements range from $250-400 per month.
While most insurance doesn't cover nutritional counseling for weight loss, some plans may cover massage therapy when prescribed by a physician. We accept HSA and FSA payments for eligible services. We offer sliding scale fees for clients experiencing financial hardship and family packages for multiple household members. Payment plans are available for comprehensive programs.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come to your first appointment prepared to discuss your health history honestly, including any medications, supplements, and previous diet attempts. Keep a 3-day food diary before your visit to help us understand your current eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing for any physical assessments or massage treatments.
Expect gradual, sustainable progress rather than rapid weight loss. Most clients see initial improvements in energy and digestion within 2-3 weeks, with weight changes becoming noticeable after 4-6 weeks of consistent program adherence. Be patient with yourself as you learn new habits and allow time for your body to adjust to dietary changes. Stay hydrated, prioritize sleep, and communicate any concerns or challenges you're experiencing. Remember that this is a lifestyle transformation, not a temporary diet.
