Health4U NutritionMatters Coaching is a client-centered approach to delivering nutrition education and guidance. Your nutrition coach will complete a thorough nutrition assessment and develop a strategy to help you become capable and creative in feeding yourself and your family. The eating competence model (ecSatter) is employed for each individual to be sure that all foods fit, culture is respected, and, ultimately, food is enjoyed. 

What can you expect from NutritionMatters Coaching?

Initial appointment: This 60-minute exploratory session focuses on assessing your current situation with food as well as your life history that may be affecting how you eat.  Your nutrition coach will inquire about your health history and current health status.

Next sessions:  The information from the initial appointment will help your coach collaborate with you to meet your unique needs:

  • Guiding you in food selection and preparation for your medical diagnosis.
  • Adapting the food you eat to the specific nutritional needs of your life stage.
  • Helping you resolve conflict and anxiety about weight and mend your relationship with food and eating.
  • Advising you on nutritional implications of diet changes or supplements you are considering.

In each session you have the opportunity to share insights and ideas you have had since your previous appointment. 

All information shared is kept confidential and will never be used for any other purpose beyond the individual relationship between you and your nutrition coach.
