One-on-One Care
Over the course of 90 days, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how your body works, build sustainable habits, and receive ongoing support as we make meaningful, realistic changes together. This time frame allows us to evaluate progress, adjust your plan as needed, and create lasting improvements—not quick fixes.
My goal is to give you the knowledge, confidence, and tools to understand your body and support your health for years to come.
What's Included in the Nutrition Program
Comprehensive Initial Consultation (90 minutes)
We start with a deep dive into your health story. Using a 303-point symptom analysis called the Nutrition Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), we'll uncover potential imbalances that conventional approaches might have missed. This session forms the foundation of your personalized wellness blueprint.
Your Customized Wellness Blueprint
Based on our initial consultation, you'll receive a tailored wellness plan. This isn't a one-size-fits-all diet—it's a comprehensive strategy including nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations, all designed to work synergistically with your unique body.
Five Bi-Weekly Follow-Up Sessions (45 minutes each)
Creating lasting change is an ongoing process, and I'm here to support you throughout. These follow-up sessions are where we fine-tune your personalized wellness protocol as we see how your body responds. We'll address any challenges or obstacles you encounter along the way, while expanding your understanding of your body's unique needs and responses. Think of these sessions as your dedicated time to ask questions, gain insights, and build the skills you need to become the expert on your own health. My role is to guide, educate, and empower you as you implement and adapt your wellness plan.
Continuous Support
Improving your health is a continuous process that extends beyond our scheduled sessions. As you implement changes in your daily life, questions and situations inevitably arise, and timely support can make all the difference. That's why I offer unlimited email access between our appointments. Whether you're celebrating a small victory, facing an unexpected challenge, or simply need clarification on your plan, I'm here to provide prompt guidance and consistent support.

Your Functional
Nutrition Assessment
As part of your personalized journey, we'll use a powerful tool called Nutri-Q. This software helps us better understand your unique health needs by organizing detailed information you provide in a questionnaire called the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ).
The NAQ consists of hundreds of qualifying questions that cover various aspects of your current state of health. Once you complete it, Nutri-Q generates a Symptom Burden Graph, which visually represents the areas where your body may need the most support. The graph helps pinpoint specific foundations of health—such as your Nutrient-Dense Diet, Digestion, Blood Sugar Regulation, Sleep, and Stress Management—that may be affecting your well-being.
Additionally, the graph highlights how these foundational aspects are impacting different body systems, such as your Cardiovascular, Endocrine, Immune, Nervous, and Digestive systems, among others. Based on the results, I will work with you to develop a customized plan that focuses on addressing these foundational needs, helping your body restore balance and function optimally.
During our sessions, we will use the insights from the Symptom Burden Graph to guide recommendations, monitor progress, and ensure that the support you’re receiving is aligned with your bio-individual needs. It's a dynamic, ongoing process to help you achieve your health goals and feel your best.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is functional nutrition, and what is a nutritional therapy practitioner?
Functional nutrition is a personalized, root-cause approach to health that focuses on understanding why symptoms are happening instead of simply managing them. It considers the whole person—including nutrition, digestion, blood sugar balance, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and other factors—to support long-term health.
A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is a practitioner who has completed specialized training through the Nutritional Therapy Association and uses a functional nutrition approach to help clients build a strong foundation for wellness. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan, I create personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on your unique health history, symptoms, and goals.
What makes your approach different?
Because I get it—I’m living it, too. As a mom, I know what it's like to be pulled in a million directions while trying to care for your own health. I understand the exhaustion, the mental load, and the challenge of putting yourself first.
We'll celebrate the wins, laugh through the chaos, and work through the setbacks together. I'll meet you where you are, help keep you accountable, and support you with practical, realistic strategies that fit your life—not add more stress to it.
What types of clients do you work with?
Most of my clients are busy women who have spent far too long feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or wondering why they don't feel like themselves. Whether you're struggling with digestive concerns, hormone imbalances, low energy, skin issues, blood sugar balance, or simply trying to feel your best, you don't have to figure it out alone.
My role is to help you understand what your body is trying to tell you, uncover the root causes behind your symptoms, and create a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan that's realistic, sustainable, and tailored to your unique needs.
Do you take insurance?
While I don't bill insurance directly, sessions are paid out of pocket at the time of service. I'm happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Payment plans are also available to help make your care more accessible.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes! Most appointments are held virtually, making it easy to work together no matter where you live. If you're local to Oswego, Naperville, Plainfield, Yorkville, Aurora, or the surrounding communities, I'm also happy to meet in person when schedules and availability allow.
What if I feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start?
That’s exactly why I’m here. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, and unsure what their body actually needs. My role is to simplify the process, identify foundational areas that may need support, and help you implement realistic changes that fit into your life.
