Your first session with Lakin
Our first appointment is a conversation, not a test. Weโll review your medical history and go deep into your relationship with food, routines, and goals, all in a non-judgmental space. You donโt need to have it all figured out before we meet. Weโll talk about whatโs working, whatโs not, and design 1 to 2 realistic next steps you can start implementing. Iโll support you every step of the way as we build a plan that respects your life, preferences, and pace.
