Your first session with April

In our first session, we will talk in depth about your medical and nutrition history so that I can get a better understanding of your past, present and future. The intent is to get to know the person behind the name and story so that a tailored nutrition plan can be created that focuses on your individual goals. Creating a SMART goal - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound- is the framework of every session and will be utilized to get results that are created with you in mind.
