The services offered allows for a wide spectrum of needs to be met. Whether you need a brief
consultation or a step by step program (recommended for best results), a program can be tailored to
fit the needs of your child and your family.
Services
Initial consultations
The inital consultation is conducted with you in the office and consists of a comprehensive evaluation of the child, the family and its lifestyle, the child's preferences and special needs as well as any other special considerations which will influence the success of the transition to a healthier diet. Once a baseline is established, the goals can be defined and the steps laid out for the individualized program.
The consultation takes about 90 minutes.
Follow up consultations this process is tailored to your needs. It may include email, phone or in person follow ups.
These are usually about 30 minutes.
Nutritional Education
We provide you with educational materials related to your child's nutrtional plan as well as a list of resources for you to refer to for more in-depth information. This is included in the inital visit.
Nutrition Response Testing
This non invasive testing technique utilizes the principles of Applied Kinesiology. In Applied Kinesiology, or muscle testing, the body's feedback mechanism is used to determine things such as allergies, nutritional deficiencies, the presence of pathogenic organisms and organ health.
The testing is performed by applying light pressure to the client's arm to test for muscle weakness when particular substances are positioned near the client, usually vials of homeopathic preparations. Anything can be tested however, such as particular foods or supplements.
Nutrition Response Testing allows us to determine root causes of issues that might otherwise get overlooked. After testing is completed, a supplement protocol is advised to assist the body in healing.
Nutrition Response Testing requires the client (child or adult) be present for testing. It requires a separate initial consultation than a nutritional consultation. However, discounts are given for scheduling both.
Nutrition Response Testing Follow ups
Follow ups are conducted to ensure the body is responding to the supplements or foods recommended. These are done on a weekly basis to start. The dosages of supplements are often adjusted because the body needs less of a supplement after a week or two. Foods can also be retested to ensure an allergy or sensitivity has not developed to that food.
Pantry makeover
This involves an in-home visit and an evaluation of the food in your pantry, refrigerator and freezer. Healthy suggestions are made and lots of information is given as to how to determine which foods are good choices for your child. Phasing new foods in phasing old foods out can be discussed at this time. This is a fun, educational experience to help reduce your learning surve and easy the stress of the transition.
Shopping Consultation
Shopping consultations involve a trip to the store of your choice, or stores may be recommended for you. This service assists you in navigating the store for foods that are complimentary to the diet plan designed for your child. This allows you to gain a great deal of hands on knowledge without feeling overwhelmed. Label reading education is also a part of this service.
This service time varies depending on your needs.
Menu Planning
We work with you to develop a menu plan personalized to your child or family. This service may include as many weeks of meal planning as you like. It also includes tips on developing your own meal plans and resouces to spark your creativity.
Samples
Purchasing new foods, especially packaged health foods can be expensive. This expense multiplies very quickly if your child does not enjoy the new foods. Samples are an easy way to cut down on wasteful spending and easy the stress of a new transition.
Emotional Support
Dietary transitions may be stressful for the child and for the parent. We provide you with tools for coping with those stressful times. One on one sessions are also available for parents and children who need greater support.
