Frequent Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?
We do not accept payment or reimbursement from insurance companies.


Do you work with children?
Yes! I do work with children! It is preferred that a parent or guardian (the one in the family who controls the food) is on a nutrition program themselves prior to a child getting on a program. We can discuss to see if the child is a candidate, however a program can only be started with a parent on a nutrition program themselves, or 100% on board with the child’s nutrition program. There are usually food eliminations that are an easier transition if a parent has already gone through them.
The testing method that I use requires a child to use their arm as the response indicator. Younger children (under 5/6-ish) are not able to do the testing by themselves so I need a parent to assist and they must be on a nutritional program so they don’t interfere with the testing results. 
Please call the office for a consultation before scheduling an appointment. 


How long will it take me to get better?
That depends on YOU! And how dedicated you are to the nutritional and lifestyle recommendations provided. Nutrition is not a band-aid. It gets to the root of the symptoms, which will take time. It is not a quick fix. It takes a long time for a symptom to show up and it can take awhile to have lasting, sustainable healing. Some clients feel better right away, however, most clients can expect a longer time-frame to fully reach their wellness goals, not seeing me every week, but maintaining their progress.  

How often do I need to make an appointment?
It depends on your health goals and severity of your symptoms. In the beginning, I may see a client 1 time per week, or 1 time per month, depending on the testing results and client’s nutrition goals. Once a client has improved, maintenance visits may be needed to stay on top of health and wellness goals.  

Does Nutrition Response Testing hurt?
Nutrition Response Testing does not hurt. It’s actually a lot of fun! It is a non-invasive way to utilize the body’s muscle response to test a food or supplement as being supportive or harmful to an organ or body system that is out of balance. I simply use the response of your arm muscle to determine the status of your health. Muscle testing is not a strength test. It is safe and natural for all ages. Refer to the Nutrition Response Testing page for more information.


Will I have to take supplements?
Yes, you may need to take supplements. I use certified organic whole food supplements (not synthetic) as a support the body needs to heal itself. Most digestive systems are not functioning well enough to optimally use just food. Whole food supplements are very important to kick the body into healing mode. Herbs and homeopathy may be used as well. Whole food supplements may be for short term or long term, depending on the body’s ability to heal.

Do you work with vegetarians or vegans as clients?
Yes! I do work with vegetarian and vegan clients. Many of the whole food nutrition products that I use to help the body heal has animal protomorphogens in them, however there may be some vegan options. If vegetarian or vegan clients will take the supplements, they will have better results. I do test each supplement and we can create a personalized nutrition plan around your nutritional choices.

How much does a Consultation cost?
A Nutrition Response Testing appointment is $129 for adults and $45 for children under 18. In this 60-minute session, we address your health concerns, review medical and family history, current supplements and medications, do a Heart Rate Variability Analysis and Nutrition Response Testing to assess what organs or systems are out of balance or under stress, then a Designed Clinical Nutrition program will be personalized just for you that moves you toward your health goals.

In our follow up sessions, we will review food journals, retest organs and systems, and update your personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan as needed, and celebrate your progress! There are other programs available and may be recommended. People over 65 years old, spouses/partners and prepaid session discounts are also available.
