Services: Investing in your Health

what to expect

The first appointment is an opportunity to learn about you and your lifestyle (medical history, activity level, work schedule, eating habits, family life and social life). We will discuss your nutritional goal and the objectives and strategies to meet your goal. You will be asked to practice the strategies and keep food journals while doing so.

Follow up sessions are held weekly or biweekly, in-person, over the phone or via email. Frequent follow ups are imperative to your success because they keep you accountable, your progress will be monitored and modifications can be made to ensure you are meeting your goal.

Meeting your goal will be a learning process, challenging and fun and with Barbara's help will be a permanent lifestyle change that will benefit you long after your sessions are done.
