Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with women who are tired of how much space food and body image take up in their lives. Many of my clients are navigating TTC, pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood and want to care for their health, feel more at peace around food, and raise kids with a different relationship with food and bodies than the one they grew up with.

    You don’t need to love your body, stop wanting weight loss, or have intuitive eating figured out before reaching out. I work with clients in the messy middle—where you know you don’t want to keep living this way, but you’re not sure what comes next.

  • No. Many of my clients know dieting hasn’t worked for them—or isn’t safe for them—while still wishing their bodies were smaller.

    I’m not here to shame you for wanting weight loss or tell you how you should feel. We can make space for those feelings while working toward caring for yourself without needing to wait for your body to change.

  • No—and I know that can feel frustrating when you’re looking for someone to finally tell you the “right” way to eat.

    We’ll absolutely talk about nutrition and practical ways to feed yourself and your family. But my goal is to help you build the skills and trust to make decisions that work for your body and your life—not hand you another set of rules.

  • Sessions are collaborative, individualized, and shaped by what’s happening in your life.

    We might talk about a binge, a food rule, a difficult photo, pregnancy body changes, feeding your kids, gentle nutrition, an upcoming vacation, or a doctor’s appointment.

    Some sessions are practical. Some are emotional. Most are a little bit of both.

  • Most clients begin by meeting weekly or every other week. Because this is process-oriented work, there is no universal timeline.

    We’ll continue to check in and decide together what frequency and length of support make sense for you.

  • Yes. All sessions are held virtually via a secure telehealth platform, so you can meet with me from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

    Eligibility may depend on where you live due to state regulations. If you’re unsure whether I can work with you in your state, feel free to reach out.

  • I do not currently accept insurance directly. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

    Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about out-of-network benefits for nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian.

  • A discovery call is a free 15-minute conversation where we’ll briefly talk about what’s bringing you to nutrition counseling, what you’re looking for support with, and whether my approach feels like a good fit.

    It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for what it might be like to work together. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll talk about scheduling your initial session.

  • Yes. I work with clients with eating disorder histories, disordered eating, chronic dieting, binge eating, restriction, and complicated relationships with food and their bodies.

    Depending on your needs, I may recommend collaborating with a therapist, physician, or other members of a treatment team. If you need a higher level of care, I’ll be transparent and help you identify appropriate next steps.

  • Yes! You can find free education and support through my blog, Instagram, and The Hoka Moka newsletter.

    These resources aren’t a replacement for individualized nutrition counseling or eating disorder treatment, but they’re a place to learn more about intuitive eating, gentle nutrition, body image, motherhood, and raising kids with a healthy relationship with food.
