The most urgent need for any diet is that it be sustainable. Good health isn't sustainable and affordable until we practice good choices independently and indefinitely. If ongoing fees were required, I'd be collecting more and more of your money, and taking up more and more of your time, while not doing my job very well. If you decide you'd like a private consultation, you'll see why my obligation is to teach you everything you need in one meeting and why I deliberately do not sell supplements, meals nor ongoing meetings.
It's not easy to change the way we eat. When it comes to diet, we're often trained to think perfection and dependence (upon a product, person or dogma) are requisite for success. This sets most up for repetitive failure and entrance into seductive revenue streams that drain, instead of replenish, our true wealth.
Thirty years of experience has developed my unique expertise in helping clients implement a sustainable healing diet while having fun and overcoming inevitable setbacks. Authoring popular books plus using an imperfect diet to reverse my own disability allows me to effectively communicate how to fit a healing diet into a busy lifestyle anywhere. Twenty years of experience as a Registered Dietitian with thousands of patients and different diagnoses have taught me how to identify the most effective dietary protocol based upon health history and needs. With my combined professional and personal experience, I personalize diet plans to suit one's lifestyle and motivation level, thereby enhancing the opportunity for long-term compliance and success. Results and testimonials speak for themselves.
Depending upon your doctor's orders, your diet plan will be complementary to or exclusive of prescription medications. Under no circumstances is a client to stop taking prescibed medications without their physician's supervision and approval. Please inform your physician of any diet changes.
Consultations are billed at $145 per hour. They take approximately 1.5 - 2 hours and can be done in person or over the phone. Most of my clients live beyond Austin. Some opt for phone consultations and some travel to Austin.
Individual and family consultations are billed at the same hourly rate of $145 per hour. A consultation includes development of a personalized plan for one person regardless of how many would like to attend. Please note that with more than one person in attendance, a consultation often requires more time. In this instance the total fee is higher while the hourly rate remains unchanged.
Payment is due upon completion of a consultation and is prorated by the quarter hour. Payment can be made with check or cash.
I take your health and my position as a licensed healthcare practitioner very seriously. That means that I measure my success upon how quickly you become independent of me and the degree to which you achieve positive and lasting results without any negative side effects. That also means that I can not provide specific dietary suggestions for anyone without having the adequate information that's otherwise discussed in a private consultation.
