Approach to care
My approaches to care include: Motivational Interviewing - It is important for the client to be able to identify why it is that they are meeting with me in the first place. Labs - Labs are a good indicator of health status and allow clients to see improvement. Other approaches include: Accountability, Physical Activity & Meal Planning.
Your first session with Maria
Our first session will consist of getting to know you! What diets/fads have you attempted in the past? What do you feel will work for you, what doesn't? I'll ask about your height/weight and medical history and how we can come up with a diet plan that works specifically for you!
