After Your Appointment

TO NOTE: For additional questions, a follow up session is required.
-
Follow-up sessions are typically scheduled 2 weeks to 1 month after your initial assessment. These sessions are an opportunity to review your progress, celebrate successes, troubleshoot challenges, and continue building a nutrition plan that supports your goals and lifestyle.
We recommend ongoing follow-up support for many clients, with a schedule that is personalized in collaboration with your Dietitian. Regular check-ins allow you to adjust your plan as your needs, routines, and life circumstances change—helping you build sustainable habits over time.
Follow-up sessions include:
30-minute one-on-one session with your Dietitian
Review of progress, successes, and any barriers or challenges
Continued guidance and adjustments to your nutrition plan
Personalized goals and resources provided after your session
-
Rather than starting with a prescriptive meal plan, our approach is to provide individualized nutrition coaching based on your goals, current eating habits, confidence in the kitchen, and nutritional needs. This may include practical meal-building frameworks, recipe ideas, grocery guidance, and personalized strategies that help you confidently create balanced meals on your own.
Research and our clinical experience show that long-term success comes from building skills and habits, not relying on a "perfect" meal plan.
For some clients, a personalized meal plan is the right next step. If you and your dietitian decide this would be beneficial, we'll book a dedicated Meal Planning Session. During this session, we'll create a customized plan based on your food preferences, cultural foods, allergies, family needs, cooking style, schedule, dining out habits, and lifestyle. Because creating a truly individualized meal plan requires additional time and preparation, this is offered as a separate service.
