I like to call these sessions “coaching sessions.” These sessions are individualized to your specific needs. Typically, they are used to monitor your progress, answer any new questions you may have, continue with more education and set new goals, if needed. Time is allotted for strategizing. You will most likely be asked, “What is coming up this week that we might need to think about?” or, “Did you struggle with anything this last week or two? Are there any situations that you feel like you need help with?” Pre-planning difficult situations can be a key to success. My goal is for you to leave your follow-up sessions feeling motivated and empowered to make changes.

The frequency of our follow up appointments is individual and depends upon your current nutrition status and goals. Nutrition coaching is most effective when you have regular appointments to check in on progress, receive nutrition guidance, and develop new goals. It is common to meet more frequently in the beginning to build momentum and less frequently as time goes by. Most clients see me every week initially for the first month. Nutrition coaching provides the support you need to keep on track with your goals and gradually adopt meaningful, sustainable change. Initial follow up sessions are typically 55 minutes and gradually decrease to 25 minutes as you need less support.
