Then Nourish’s PCOS 1:1 coaching is for YOU!
The Philosophy
Nourish takes a weight-neutral, anti-diet, intuitive eating approach to PCOS. Nourish is all about reforming and reshaping your mind-body connection. It is an individualized, body positive, and evidence-based approach to PCOS. Make peace with food, free yourself from dieting and diet culture, and rediscover the pleasure of eating.
Why Intuitive Eating for PCOS?
The evidence shows us that diets do not work! Several studies have shown that weight loss from dieting is not sustainable in the long-term. Dieting is associated with weight regain and weight cycling, or repeated weight loss and regain over time. Guess what, weight cycling is associated with poor cardiovascular health!
At Nourish, we ditch the diet mindset and work together to reclaim your body's unique intuition that guides what and how much to eat. We work together to reconnect you to your body's signaling, reshaping your mind-body connection through an individualized and holistic approach to manage your PCOS.
Nourish takes a holistic and bio-psycho-social approach to PCOS. What that means is that we look at the biological, psychological, and social aspects of the condition. Looking deeper than just what you eat, we will look at the how and why behind your eating patterns, thoughts, and behaviors. We will discover the root cause of your PCOS symptoms and use evidence-based recommendations to help guide you to feeling your best.
Through gentle nutrition practices that work for you and your busy lifestyle, you will learn how to truly nourish your body through an intuitive, individualized, and body positive approach to PCOS.
What’s Included?
The 1:1 coaching package is a 4-month program that includes:

75-minute Deep-Dive Initial Consultation Session
Our initial assessment involves taking a deep dive into your relationship with food, your body, and PCOS throughout the course of your life to the present moment.

We’ll talk about your goals as they relate to PCOS nutrition and overall wellness, curating a tailored Nourish PCOS plan designed just for you.

During these follow up sessions we will work toward intuitive eating and reclaiming a positive relationship with food and your body. We will continue to work towards managing your PCOS through a holistic, weight-neutral lens.

I currently do not accept health insurance directly. All appointments are considered fee-for-service. Payment is expected at the time of service. I can provide you with a superbill receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Some, but not all, insurance companies cover medical nutrition therapy as part of out-of-network benefits. To determine if your insurance company will reimburse you, you should contact them directly. I am happy to answer questions you may have related to this process.
-
Payment is expected at the time of service. For 1:1 nutrition counseling programs, payment can be paid in full at the start of the program, or in 4 payments through a payment plan. You may save your credit card on file. Superbills may be requested and are given at the end of the month.
