Your first session with Riley

In the first session, Riley will guide you through questions to understand your overall goals for nutrition counseling and to get to know you more as a human. These questions will cover topics such as medical history, history of dieting and relationship with food, a typical day of food, and more. Riley understands that relationships with food are complex and that there can be anxiety around discussing this, you do not have to rush this process and she encourages you to share information at your own pace. Her overall goal for this session is to understand your goals and to create a safe space for you to explore your relationship with food.
