Your first session with Courtney
In the initial session, Courtney will start by asking what your goals are for sessions to ensure the approach is tailored to your needs. From there, Courtney will go through a nutrition questionnaire with a variety of questions ranging from medical history to sleep hygiene to your relationship with food and more in-between. The purpose of this is to get a full understanding and to develop a plan tailored to you. Once the assessment is complete, she will provide you with a few actionable goals to get started on the journey to behavior change.
