One-on-one nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian
You sit down with a dietitian who asks how you actually eat and works through it with you. There is no meal plan to follow, no programme to finish and no app to open.
- Registered Dietitian Nutritionists credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration
- In person in Roanoke, across the Richmond area, or by video
- $120 for a 60-minute session, with no membership to join

How this works
A conversation, then the work of changing something
-
We start with what you eat now
The first session is an hour of questions. Your health history, a normal week of eating, how you move, what you have already tried and where it came apart.
-
You leave with a few specific changes
Not a document to follow. A small number of things to try that fit the schedule, budget and kitchen you already have.
-
Then we adjust
Follow-up sessions are where most of the work happens. We look at what held and what did not, and change the approach. That is why the Foundation Package is four sessions.
Where we meet
Two practices, run differently
Roanoke is a staffed office you come to. Richmond is a travelling practice with no office at all. Both see clients by video.

What we are not
No meal plan. No programme. No app to open.
What you get is an hour with a dietitian who listens, and a small number of changes worth trying. That is the whole service, and it is deliberately the whole service.
Who you would be working with
Two dietitians, not a rota
You see the same person every session. There is no intake team and no handover to a coach.

What people come to us about
Common reasons people call
- Prediabetes & type 2 diabetes
- PCOS & women's health
- Cholesterol & heart health
- GLP-1 nutrition support
- Weight loss
Most of what we do is general nutrition counseling for people who want to eat better and have not been able to make it stick. If your reason is not on that list it is still worth a call.
What it costs
A single session is $120 for 60 minutes. The Foundation Package is $420 for four sessions, which is what most people start with. Continuing support afterwards is optional.
Tell us what you are trying to change
Call either number and you reach a dietitian, not a call centre. There is no charge for working out whether this is the right fit.
