Nutrition Counseling |
||||||||
As a medical nutrition therapist with 30 years of experience in the field of nutrition education and counseling, Alexa takes pride in her ability to efficiently assess individual patient needs. Assessment is not just a checklist of questions, but a method of working with clients through questioning and active listening that helps them become more aware of what, when, how, and why they eat. The focus of nutrition education is to improve the knowledge of nutrition and to encourage the development of skills in the client so that better food choices are made for health and well being. The couseling office is situated in a convenient northwest Austin location easily accessed from Mopac and Loop 360. Individual counseling includes an initial session 60-90 minutes in length, which normally includes an assessment component, nutrition instruction and goal setting, and plans for at least one follow up visit. Nutrition counseling services are available for the following:
