frequently asked questions
Are your services covered under insurance?
My MOST frequently asked question! The answer is…YES! My services are covered with ALL insurance companies (except for RWAM) under “naturopathy”.
Are your services virtual or in-person?
Both! It’s your preference. Some clients will do a mix of both depending on scheduling, weather etc. For those in-person, I’m located at 47 Leslie Street (downtown St. John’s) on the second floor. And yes, there is a parking lot. :)
How does it all work?
Identify which program (Gut & Food Freedom or Food Foundations) you are most interested in.
If you’re unsure which one might suit you best & want to chat through things first/ask any questions, book a free 15-minute “Discovery Call”, with no obligation to book.
If you’re ready to rock & no need for a call, you can simply click “Book Now” above and select the program of your choice. Payment is upfront via credit card & you will be prompted to book your first appointment! Yay!
From there, in either program, the first appointment is an initial consultation where I get to know you, your goals & health history in-depth. From that point, I create a custom “road map” for you, which we follow with targeted protocols that range from 4-12 weeks. We then end with a “maintenance” protocol, so you can spread your wings & thrive!
How do I know which program is for me?
Gut & Food Freedom (Signature Program) is for:
those who want to totally transform their health from the gut out!
those who have been seeking answers, trying all the things, and failed by standard practices/other modalities
those who have been struggling with symptoms for a while
those who have dietary restrictions (i.e., some or all foods “create symptoms”) & want to heal their relationship with food
Food Foundations is for:
those who want proper nutrition education & want to eat to prevent chronic illness
those who want an energy & mood boost, and to just CHANGE things up with their nutrition
those who want to work on & heal their relationship with food
those that have struggled (or currently struggle) with disordered eating, bingeing, & cravings
Can I do both programs? Do I have to do one before the other?
Yes, you can do both, but you don’t have to do one before the other. However, the Gut & Food Freedom Signature Program is the most comprehensive - we work on remedying symptoms & relationship to food + food education. If you’re stuck between the two, book a call and I’ll identify which one would be most appropriate.
Is there anything I need to have prepped before we begin?
Before the first appointment, you will need to fill out a detailed intake form + a 3-day food diary, due 48H before your appointment. There will be a Client Onboarding program that will walk you through everything & set you up for success before we get started!
Will I have to make drastic changes in my diet?
NO! I am anti-restriction, anti-long term elimination diets, because I want you to have an incredibly supportive and nourishing relationship with food. Furthermore, these programs are rooted in evidence-based behavioural techniques & tailored support (to you and your life right now) to ensure that you succeed, thrive and are able to make these changes sustainable for long-term success.
