1:1 Nutrition Coaching
Helping athletes and active people reach your pinnacle of health and performance through online and in-person individualized nutrition coaching in Portsmouth, NH and worldwide.
1:1 Nutrition Coaching
1:1 nutrition coaching is as individualized as it gets.
Confused over the contradicting nutrition recommendations for someone as active as yourself? I get it. I will help you understand how to eat for your level of activity.
We will adjust your nutrition habits so that you wake up energized, feel good in your body, increase strength and recovery while tackling any gut issues along the way.
Our initial 60-minute nutrition session is all about getting to know you, your lifestyle, your activity level, your current diet, history of eating, food preferences, medical history as it pertains to nutrition, relationship with food, cooking ability and overall health and wellness goals.
You’ll leave the initial session with some nutrition education and some nutrition intentions.
Your life won’t be flipped upside down in one day, instead I take a slow, behavior change approach to create lasting results.

Follow-up 1:1 Nutrition Coaching
Change is a process, not a one-time effort. In our follow-up sessions, which typically last 45 minutes, we delve deeper into nutrition education and refine your goals based on your progress and feedback. This is where we can really get into the ‘nitty gritty’ of your diet and nutrition habits. Examples are: what to eat before a training session, how much carbs, salt and fluid to consume on an endurance event, how to build a performance plate to support recovery.
Each session is an opportunity to address different aspects of your diet and lifestyle, making adjustments that are both manageable and impactful. Clients benefit from at least six follow-up visits, meeting 2x/month to support new nutrition habits and nutrition understanding.
Insurance and Rates
I am in-network with major insurance providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, United Health Care, Aetna, Tufts, Cigna, and Maine Community Health Options. This means many clients can access my services with coverage from their insurance plans, so long as I receive a referral with a nutrition-related diagnosis code. The only exception to the referral requirement is self-pay or a PPO plan from BCBS. Referrals are still encouraged for quality collaboration of care.
If you do not have a nutrition-related diagnosis code in your referral, then our sessions would be self-pay nutrition coaching rather than medical nutrition therapy. Only medical nutrition therapy can be billed to insurance.
Examples of nutrition-related diagnoses that fall under medical nutrition therapy:
Fatigue
Iron deficient anemia
Underweight (BMI <19, adult)
Abnormal weight loss
Eating Disorder
Overweight (BMI >25)
Abnormal weight gain
Diarrhea
Constipation
Acid Reflux/ GERD
Lactose intolerance
Crohn’s Disease
Hypercholesterolemia
Pre-diabetes
Impaired fasting glucose
Hypoglycemia, unspecified
Hypothyroidism
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
For those without compatible insurance, I offer competitive rates to ensure my services remain accessible. The initial 60-minute 1:1 Nutrition Coaching session is $200, providing a comprehensive overview and personalized plan. Nutrition Follow-Up sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, are priced at $150, focusing on refining and advancing your nutritional goals.
