  • Do you provide meal plans and recipes?

    Our personalized meal plans are created using the professional platforms That Clean Life and Nutrium, recognized among the most advanced tools in nutrition.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Cancellation Policy

    We understand that circumstances may arise that require you to cancel or reschedule your session, and we aim to provide a transparent cancellation policy. Please review the following guidelines:

    Cancellation Notice:

    • We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation or rescheduling.

     

    Cancellation Fees:

      • Should a client cancel within less than 24 hours before their scheduled consultation, 100% of the session fee will be charged. This fee is in place to protect the time of our dietitians and avoid lost opportunities for others.

     

    Reminder Notifications:

      • To help avoid these cancellation fees, we send email and text reminders before any meetings to serve as a reminder that can often allow you to confirm, cancel, or reschedule your session should anything come up.

     

    Cancellation and Rescheduling:

      • Our client portal allows all of our clients to have access to modify, cancel, or reschedule their appointments. We encourage our clients to use this feature right away should any changes happen prior to the appointment.
  • Do I have to pay when booking a consultation?

    No, your credit card information will be required to book a consultation; however, you will not be charged until the end of your session or if you cancel late (within our 24 hour cancellation policy).

  • Are all the sessions online?

    Yes, our consultations take place on Zoom, but they can also be conducted over the phone if that is a preference. We use systems like Practice Better that allow for easy scheduling, communication, and invoicing.

  • How do I know if my insurance covers your services?

    You should check with your insurance company to see if dietitian and/or nutritionist services are covered.

  • Can you provide insurance receipts?

    Yes, I will provide you with an insurance receipt at the end of every session.

  • Can you do in person sessions in Toronto?

    I only do Zoom sessions at this time.
