Who do we work with?
We work with individuals who are ready to take control of their health. We help people let go of restrictive diets and instead lean into an entirely new way of taking care of themselves by working with (vs. against) their bodies. Individuals who are right for our care understand there are no quick fixes and are committed to putting in a financial and time investment in feeling better.
How long/often are sessions?
Sessions are weekly or biweekly to start (consistency is the key to success here — you wouldn’t see a therapist for 3 sessions and expect your anxiety to disappear). By meeting regularly we can develop a routine that works well for you and tackle weekly challenges to start feeling change. Once we get more comfortable and you are feeling better, we can pair back our regular meetings. Initial sessions are 1 hour and follow ups are 30 minutes.
How long do we normally work with clients?
Our clients who have the most success are the ones we meet with regularly! Expect to work with us regularly (on a weekly or biweekly basis) for at least a few months (3+ on average). From there, we can bring back the frequency of our sessions. We always say that our goal is to teach you the skills so that you do not need us forever! However, we aim to build relationships with our clients so that they can come back as things shift in their lives and they need some more help :)
