Nutrition counseling services

At By Your Side Nutrition Counseling, I offer individualized, virtual nutrition counseling for adults who want support that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and grounded in real life.

This work is not about quick fixes or rigid plans. It’s about understanding what’s been hard, identifying what will actually help, and moving forward through small, steady steps, with guidance along the way.

All services are provided virtually to self-pay clients in states where I am licensed, including Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina. I am in network with Aetna and United Healthcare.

Sessions begin at $100. Multi-session packages are available for those seeking ongoing support at a lower overall cost. A complimentary 15-minute discovery call is available if you’d like to explore whether this approach feels like a good fit before scheduling.

Initial Nutrition Counseling Session (90 minutes)

The initial session is a 90-minute comprehensive appointment designed to give us the time and space needed to truly understand your story. During this session, we may explore:

Your nutrition history and past experiences with dieting

Current concerns related to food, body image, or health

Relevant medical, lifestyle, and life-stage factors

Patterns around eating, stress, and self-care

What you’re hoping to change, and what you want to protect

This is not a rushed intake. It’s a collaborative conversation where we begin to clarify priorities and identify realistic next steps.

Best for:
Clients who want a thorough, supportive starting point and a plan that fits their life and not a template.
