Hi Reader,
If you’ve been following along for a while and feeling curious about nutrition counseling, you probably also have a few questions.
Starting something like this is a real investment of time and energy, and it makes sense to want a clearer picture before you even consider taking that step.
So today, I wanted to answer some of the questions I hear most often, and give you a better feel for what working together actually looks like.
What exactly is your nutrition counseling program?
I offer a 6-month, one-on-one counseling program where we meet by video twice a month, with ongoing messaging support in between.
This is not a meal plan or a short-term “reset.” It’s a supportive, non-diet space to work on your relationship with food, your body, and your health in a way that’s sustainable and grounded in real life.
Sessions often include topics like:
- Building consistent, nourishing eating patterns
- Untangling food rules and guilt
- Making peace with specific foods
- Supporting hunger and fullness awareness
- Nervous system and self-care support
- Gentle nutrition guidance
- Understanding the deeper “why” behind patterns with food
Everyone's path looks a little different, but the foundation is always respect for your body and long-term change.
What’s included?
- Two private video sessions per month
- Messaging support between sessions
- A personalized, evolving plan (not a rigid program)
- Tools like hunger awareness, embodied self-care, and food relationship work
- Optional additional sessions if you ever want extra support
Why is the program 6 months long?
Because real change with food rarely happens in a straight line.
Most people need time not only to learn new concepts, but to practice them through periods of:
- Shifting motivation
- Unavoidable resistance
- Real-life stress
- Holidays, travel, body changes, and emotional seasons
Six months gives us space to:
- Build a strong foundation
- Work through challenges when they arise
- Personalize for your actual life patterns
- And support lasting shifts, not just surface-level insights
Short-term wins can feel good, but longer-term work is what tends to actually change how you relate to food.
Can you help me lose weight?
My approach is not weight-loss centered, and I don’t offer intentional weight-loss programs.
What I do help with is:
- Building nourishing, consistent eating patterns
- Reducing chaos, guilt, and fear around food
- Supporting health behaviors without punishment
- Increasing trust, flexibility, and body awareness
Some people’s bodies change over time, some don’t. Our focus stays on behaviors, relationship, and well-being, not on controlling the scale.
What do clients usually get out of counseling?
While everyone’s journey is unique, clients often describe outcomes like:
- Food feeling calmer and less consuming
- Fewer cycles of restriction and overeating
- More consistent, satisfying meals
- Less guilt and second-guessing
- Better understanding of their patterns
- More trust in their body
- A more grounded, sustainable way of caring for their health
What clients are saying:
"Stephanie's work goes far beyond traditional nutrition counseling. Rather than repeating information you can easily find online, she helps you understand the deeper reasons behind your relationship with food." - Erin R.
"Stephanie is warm, knowledgeable, and immediately put me at ease. She's fantastic at identifying patterns and offering gentle, supportive guidance to help shift them." - Anne K.
Who is this for?
This program resonates with people who:
- Feel trapped in cycles with food
- Are tired of dieting or “starting over”
- Want health support without rigidity
- Want something deeper than information
- Are open to a gentle, long-term approach
