Individual Nutrition Counseling
Individualized nutrition counseling can help make nutrition easy.
The dietitians at The Tasty Balance will assess your needs and give you the tools to rediscover your inner wisdom and rediscover pleasure from food. Our main goal through individual nutrition counseling is to help you find a balance between food and life — without the stress or restrictive diets.
Our Process
How does this work?
1. Book Directly Online
No referral needed! Match with the dietitian that meets your needs, select location or virtual, and schedule a time that works best for you.
2. Insurance Benefits Check
We’ll do the investigating for you, and our team will let you know what is covered prior to your first appointment.
3. Comprehensive Nutrition Counseling Assessment
Your initial appointment is a time for us to get to know each other and for your dietitian to learn a bit more about your goals, questions you have, and develop a plan together.
4. Ongoing Care
Follow up appointments are when the real work gets done as we dive deeper into how food and nutrition play a role in your life and what changes can be made to improve it.
The Impact of working with a Dietitian
“It has been a privilege working with Kate!”
“In just a few visits I’ve learned tangible actions/habits that I’ve incorporated into my diet to support/improve my health and overall well-being. Kate’s approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and collaborative — and she has a genuine way of immediately connecting with and making you feel welcome. She is deliberate about ensuring you understand how to put what you’ve learned into practice and always makes sure her recommendations resonate and fit your lifestyle and goals. I’m grateful to be working with Kate!”
