When to CONSIDER Nutritional Counseling
Do any of the following ring tried and true, or new and confusing:
Body Image. Stress. Indigestion. Depression. Bingeing. Cravings. Postpartum. Autoimmunities. Acne.
Constipation. Perimenopause. Trauma. Allergies. Fatigue. Insomnia. Food Sensitivity. Unexplained Irritation. Thinning hair. Brittle nails. Boredom. Lackluster sex. Unexplained weight loss/gain. Moodiness. Restlessness.
If so, Sarah's approach to nutritional counseling (food as the access point into habits, patterns, feelings) might be right for you.
GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE
The road to health is often detoured and windy. We’ve exhausted ourselves trying to find the right cure, instead of the root cause. This perpetuates suffering and static-thinking. Our thoughts often cause our undoing. We must get to the core of our feeling-state, peeling back one onion layer at a time, so to understand why we have certain health flares, body struggles, food ruts, et cetera.
sarah's Approach
In a phrase: pleasure heals.
Macronutrients and elimination diets will be discussed, of course, but that is merely the beginning, the first layer, the access point into everything else that's going on. By discerning how to become slow eaters, feel nourished by meals, foster a movement practice, and create daily wellbeing rituals, we are able to get to the bottom of our perpetual habits that often give rise to our chronic health issues.
HOW IT WORKS
Prior to your first session, you will fill out an extensive intake of your nutritional landscape, as well as your personal history, wellness goals, dietary habits, and lifelong dreams.
Once the intake is received, a phone-call session is scheduled. Sarah prefers working voice-to-voice instead of face-to-face to establish a self-intimacy instead of video performativity.
During your first session, Sarah will create a plan of action to achieve your health goals. The objective is always to end a call with a tangible takeaway. As counseling is cumulative, there is often homework to complete between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if Nutritional Counseling is right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck or confused about your relationship with food (whether this is a chronic feeling or resulting from a recent diagnosis), nutritional counseling will help you navigate your own journey with food freedom and wellbeing.
How many sessions will I need?
We will determine this after our first session. Some clients feel resolved in one session, some clients go on for years. We will also assess if once a week, once a month, or something in between is best for you.
Do I need to do the meal delivery along with Nutritional Counseling?
If you live in NYC, it is very helpful to do the meal delivery in tandem with the counseling, but not required.
How much is each session?
Sessions are $150 for 50 minutes.
What is the cancellation / rescheduling policy?
Cancelations made at least 24 hours before an appointment will avoid charge of the session fee. Sessions must be used within 2 months of initial purchase.
Will you help me with meal planning?
Absolutely!
