How much do sessions cost? Do you accept insurance?
Bravespace Nutrition is out-of-network with insurance companies. However, many clients receive reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits after submitting a superbill. If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, the reimbursement process is often straightforward.
If you're unsure whether your plan includes out-of-network nutrition therapy benefits, you can download a list of questions to ask your insurance company before getting started. Many employer-sponsored health plans in the Seattle area provide partial or even substantial reimbursement, though coverage varies by plan.
Nutrition therapy sessions are:
Initial Session: $350
Follow-Up Sessions: $300
If you have questions about payment, out-of-network reimbursement, or whether nutrition therapy may be covered under your employer-sponsored health plan, I'm happy to help you understand your options.
What's the value of working with a registered dietitian versus relying on friends or family?
Having supportive people in your life can make a meaningful difference. Friends and family can offer encouragement, empathy, and someone to lean on. But they're not trained to help you untangle the complex thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that keep you stuck in your relationship with food or your body.
As a weight-inclusive registered dietitian and nutrition therapist, I help you understand why these patterns developed and what it takes to change them. Together, we'll explore the factors contributing to your struggles, challenge unhelpful beliefs, build practical skills, and create a path forward that aligns with your values instead of another set of food rules.
My role isn't to judge your choices or tell you what you "should" be doing. It's to provide evidence-based guidance, compassionate support, and a structured space where you can make sense of your experiences and move toward a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
How do sessions work? What can I expect?
Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you and your story. We'll talk about what brought you here, your relationship with food and your body, what's feeling difficult right now, and what you're hoping will be different. I'll ask thoughtful questions, answer yours, and together we'll create a plan that feels supportive and realistic for where you are today.
Follow-up sessions are a space to slow down, reflect, and work through whatever comes up as you begin making changes. We'll celebrate progress, navigate setbacks without judgment, build practical skills, and adjust our approach as your needs evolve. Healing isn't linear, and our work together will honor that.
Every session is tailored to you. Depending on your goals, we may explore intuitive eating, body image, coping skills, meal planning, challenging food rules, navigating eating disorder recovery, or making sense of the thoughts and experiences that have shaped your relationship with food. My approach is weight-inclusive, compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based care.
What services do you offer?
I offer one-on-one virtual nutrition therapy for adults struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, and body image concerns. Sessions are personalized to your unique experiences, goals, and stage of healing.
In addition to individual nutrition therapy, I also offer a self-paced women's body image course, You're Not Broken, designed to help you build a more peaceful, compassionate relationship with your body.
Nutrition therapy is highly individualized, so there isn't a set timeline for care. Some people benefit from a handful of sessions focused on a specific concern, while others choose longer-term support as they work toward lasting changes in their relationship with food and their body. This work is collaborative, relational, and unfolds at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.
How long will nutrition counseling take?
The honest answer is that it depends.
Everyone's relationship with food and their body has been shaped by different experiences, challenges, and life circumstances. Factors like a long history of dieting, an eating disorder, body image struggles, or past experiences can all influence the pace of healing. Because of this, it's not possible to predict exactly how long you'll benefit from nutrition counseling before we begin.
We'll regularly check in about your goals, your progress, and what feels most supportive for you. Some people come for a specific concern and achieve their goals in a relatively short period of time, while others appreciate ongoing support as they continue building a more peaceful relationship with food and their body.
We'll decide together how often to meet based on your needs, goals, and where you are in your journey. In general, consistent sessions tend to provide the greatest opportunity for meaningful and lasting change.
What is You're Not Broken?
You’re Not Broken is a self-paced body image course designed for women who are exhausted by body shame, self-criticism, and the feeling that they have to love their bodies before they can fully live their lives.
Inside the course, you'll learn why body image struggles develop, how diet culture and life experiences shape the way you see yourself, and practical tools to help you begin relating to your body with more compassion and less judgment. Through videos, guided reflections, and exercises, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your body image while building skills that support lasting change.
If you're looking for more personalized support, the course can also be a helpful complement to one-on-one nutrition therapy.
When should I seek help?
Many people wait to seek support because they think they're "not sick enough," that someone else has it worse, or that they should be able to figure it out on their own first.
The truth is, you don't need an eating disorder diagnosis or to be in crisis to benefit from nutrition counseling. If food, eating, or body image are taking up more mental space than you'd like, causing you stress, or getting in the way of living the life you want, that's reason enough to reach out.
You don't have to wait until things get worse before you deserve support. Healing isn't reserved for the people who are struggling the most. Everyone deserves a more peaceful relationship with food and their body.
How do I know if I have an eating disorder?
Many people wonder whether their struggles with food are "serious enough" to count as an eating disorder. The reality is that eating disorders and disordered eating exist on a spectrum, and you cannot determine whether someone has an eating disorder based on their body size or appearance alone.
You may benefit from professional support if food or thoughts about your body take up a significant amount of mental space, you find yourself restricting, binge eating, purging, or feeling out of control around food, or if eating leaves you feeling anxious, guilty, or ashamed. You might also notice changes in your physical health, such as fatigue, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, loss of your menstrual cycle, digestive concerns, or changes in weight. These experiences deserve attention, regardless of your body size.
Whether you meet the criteria for an eating disorder, have disordered eating, or simply feel exhausted by your relationship with food, you don't have to figure it out on your own. If you're unsure, reaching out is a great place to start. Together, we can better understand what's going on and determine the support that's right for you.
How do I schedule an appointment?
The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute discovery call. This is an opportunity for us to talk about what's bringing you in, answer any questions you have, and help you decide whether nutrition counseling at Bravespace Nutrition feels like the right fit for your needs.
If you decide to move forward, we'll schedule your initial nutrition counseling session together.
How do I approach nutrition counseling?
My approach to nutrition counseling is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. Rather than giving you another meal plan, set of food rules, or quick fix, we'll work together to better understand your relationship with food, your body, and the experiences that have shaped it.
Our work goes beyond nutrition alone. We'll explore the thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and life experiences that may be keeping you stuck while building practical skills that help you move toward a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
My approach is weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate nutrition science with approaches like intuitive eating, mindfulness, and behavior change strategies, always tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals.
