Question 1

What should I expect during nutrition sessions?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is all about getting to know you — your relationship with food, your health history, your goals, and what support feels most helpful right now. Together, we’ll explore your eating patterns, medical and mental health background, and any challenges you’re facing, always at your own pace and without judgment.

Follow-up sessions focus on ongoing support and guidance. We’ll work together to strengthen your connection to hunger and fullness cues, build confidence around food, and navigate any medical or emotional barriers that come up. Whether you’re recovering from an eating disorder, managing a medical condition, or using a GLP-1 medication, our work centers on nourishment, flexibility, and sustainable well-being — not perfection or rigid rules.

Question 2

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

Many clients start with sessions every 1–2 weeks, then space them out as they gain confidence. The frequency depends on your needs and goals — we’ll decide together what works best for you.

Question 3

How long are sessions?

Accepted Answer

Initial sessions are typically 60 minutes, and follow-up sessions are 45–50 minutes.

Question 4

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Question 5

Do you take insurance?

At the moment, Winstead is an out-of-network provider. I can provide superbills for potential reimbursement for sessions. I hope to accept at least one insurance plan beginning in early 2026 — stay tuned!
