Answers You Can Trust

The initial session is typically 60-75 minutes long.  This is where the customized approach to working on your goals begins!  During the initial consultation the dietitian will go through an in-depth lifestyle assessment to learn more about things like your eating behaviors, sleep, stress, health history, movement, individual challenges and more.  We take a holistic approach so it’s very important to us to collect a solid amount of baseline information and learn more about the different aspects of your lifestyle.

We also take the time to learn more about your mindset and go over healthy expectations and how we can make this process a truly successful one.  With every session, another priority is to make sure we are answering any questions you may have.  By the end of the initial session we will establish the first “Action Plan” which will consist of 1-3 behavioral goals that you feel confident in and that will support your progress.

Follow-up sessions are typically range from 20-60 minutes and depends on the individual. That give us the opportunity to check-in and evaluate how things have been since the last session.  We discuss how the previous action plan went and decide how we want to move forward/what the next behavioral goals will be.  Follow-up sessions are a fantastic way to stay ACCOUNTABLE, which can be extremely helpful when working on developing new or changing habits.  Since our approach focuses on building momentum at a manageable pace, checking in for follow-ups allows us to cover a variety of topics, over time, instead of receiving an overwhelming amount of information at once or crammed into a session.

We know that there are all kinds of changes and challenges that can take place throughout the year.  Meeting for follow-up coaching sessions allows us to continue building a lifestyle that supports your goals during life’s ups and downs because we’re able to work together to figure out the best way to address those times.  Building new habits and making changes takes consistency and repetition.  Follow-up session allow us to reinforce behaviors and work on how to apply those behaviors that support your goals, in various situations.
