The Essential Nutrition Program is a detailed counseling program for those who would like to undergo a nutritional assessment examining diet and lifestyle habits, get started on a healthy eating plan and optimize their health.

Nutrition Counseling

One-on-One Counseling 3 separate one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions with Ara, each session being 45 minutes. Attending all counseling sessions is vital to your long term success.

Session 1 During the initial meeting, Ara will gather more information from you in order to assess your nutritional needs. She may ask about matters such as your risk factors for disease, lifestyle habits, medications and nutrition supplement use. She will ask about your diet history to learn your eating/meal schedule, your portion sizes and, of course, your food preferences. A body composition analysis will also be done to assist with determining your nutritional goals. Based on this information, Ara then prepares the following for you:

• Nutrition Report This report will outline the dietary changes necessary to help you achieve your goals. The report is a list of specific strategies and recommendations that will help improve your diet, your nutritional intake and your activity level.

• Customized Meal Plan The Meal Plan outlines meal times, portion sizes, appropriate food combinations and actual meal suggestions for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Your Meal Plan will be based on where you eat, i.e., home, restaurants, take-out. Healthy recipes will also be provided.

Session 2 The second counseling session is scheduled approximately one week after your first counseling session. During this visit, Ara will review your nutrition, provide additional information or advice, confirm that the Meal Plan is suitable for your needs and make changes as required.

Session 3 The third counseling session is scheduled within approximately 1 to 2 weeks after the second visit. This visit provides continuing support, reviews your progress and provides additional nutrition education.

Duration: 1 to 2 months. However, duration may be adjusted to suit your needs.

Fee: $495.00

Full payment is due prior to commencement of the first counseling session. Fees may be paid with cash or debit card during your first visit to our office or online with PayPal by clicking the Buy Now button below. If applicable, taxes are included. 

Follow-up Visits

Many of our clients often choose to continue with additional counseling sessions after finishing the Essential Nutrition Program. You may wish to do so if you have not yet achieved your ultimate goal and are enjoying the support provided by Ara. Even if you have achieved your short term goals, you may want to consider visiting Ara periodically to help make sure you accomplish your long term goals and prevent slipping back into old unhealthy habits. Follow-up visits are available in packages of 3 for $295.00 plus applicable taxes.
