Individual Meal Plans

Not Sure Where to Begin?

Not everyone’s needs fall into neat categories, so if you’re unsure where to start, the Initial Hourly Consultation is perfect for that. You can meet with me, share your health background and the different approaches you’ve tried, and we can discuss together the most cost-effective way to combine services.  Should you start there and decide to move forward by taking one of my packages, then any remaining time in the Initial Hourly Consultation can be ‘banked’ and used later for follow-up services.
