Your first session with Lauren

Our first session will be all about getting to know each other and how I can help you achieve your goals. We will discuss your medical history, past experiences (if any) with nutrition counseling, what has worked for you in the past and what hasn't, your typical day-to-day eating habits and dietary preferences as well as any concerns you may have. We will collaboratively come up with small, achievable goals that will act as stepping stones to get you closer towards your long term health goals.
