FAQs
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions that may help if you need assistance or have any inquiries.
Do you offer virtual nutrition counseling for Raleigh residents?
Yes. Most Raleigh clients work with me virtually, allowing flexibility without sacrificing personalized care.
Are you a holistic nutritionist in Raleigh?
Yes. I practice functional nutrition, which takes a holistic approach to healing the body by looking at nutrition, biochemistry, and lifestyle factors together—rather than isolated symptoms.
What’s the difference between a nutritionist and nutritional therapist?
Nutritional therapy takes a personalized approach to healing the body through education and food-based support—not one-size-fits-all meal plans. While the terms are often used interchangeably, I specialize in nutrient therapy, which uses targeted doses of supplemental nutrients to heal the brain and body, combined with dietary support tailored to your unique chemistry.
Can nutrition counseling help with eating disorders or disordered eating?
Yes. I support clients with disordered eating patterns through a non-restrictive, education-based approach that includes personalized nutritional therapy to heal brain chemistry.
Do you work with clients outside Raleigh?
Yes. I work with clients across North Carolina and nationwide through virtual sessions.
