Menopause doesn’t respond well to generic nutrition advice. That’s why I don’t offer it.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all protocol, we build something together: an approach grounded in evidence, tailored to your life, and flexible enough to evolve as your body does.

If you’ve spent years dieting, counting, and cutting things out, you’ll find something different here.

I’ve spent the last four years in behavioral science research, so I think a lot about what actually helps people make lasting changes. I use motivational interviewing, which means I’m not here to lecture you or tell you what to do. We work together to figure out what matters to you, what’s getting in your way, and what strategies will actually stick. Think of it as choose your own adventure: you decide what goals we’re working toward and what pace feels right.

Menopause nutrition is different.

A lot of nutrition advice is written for a generic adult. But your body at 48 isn’t operating the same way it did at 28, and the advice needs to reflect that.

During the menopause transition, women face specific challenges: shifting hormones that affect everything from sleep to body composition, metabolic changes that make blood sugar harder to regulate, and increased risk to bone and cardiovascular health.

I draw from anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean, and plant-based approaches, while adapting them to your preferences, your culture, and your reality. My focus isn’t on what to remove, but what to add. Generic advice to “eat more vegetables” isn’t wrong, but it doesn’t address the why or the how for this stage of life.

The Elderflower Partnership

A 12-session program for women navigating perimenopause

This is my signature program, a comprehensive partnership designed to help you understand what your body needs now and build sustainable strategies for this chapter and beyond.

What’s included:

  • Initial session (60 minutes): A comprehensive assessment of your health history, goals, what you’ve tried, and how your life actually works
  • Eleven follow-up sessions (30 minutes each): Focused check-ins to refine, troubleshoot, and build on what’s working
  • Personalized research between sessions (your questions don’t disappear when we hang up)
  • Direct message access for support between calls
  • Evidence summaries tailored to your specific situation, with the science translated

Investment: $1,170 for the full program (a 10% savings over single-session pricing)

Payment plans available, no insurance accepted.

Why 12 sessions?

Meaningful change takes time, especially during perimenopause when your body is actively shifting. Twelve sessions over several months allows us to move through a full cycle of learning, experimenting, adjusting, and consolidating, rather than handing you a plan and hoping it sticks.

A systematic review of behavior change strategies in nutrition counseling found that intermediate-duration interventions (6-12 weeks or longer) produce stronger, more sustained outcomes than short-term approaches.

What to expect when working with me

1

Discovery Call

We’ll have a brief conversation (about 20 minutes) to talk through what you’re experiencing. This is a chance for both of us to see if we’re a good fit.

2

Intake

If we decide to move forward, I’ll send you a comprehensive intake questionnaire. Take your time with it. The more you share, the better I can prepare.

3

Research

Before our sessions together, I’ll dig into your specific concerns, look at what the evidence says, and come prepared with ideas tailored to your situation.

4

Support

From there, we meet regularly. Between sessions, I’m available via message and actively thinking about your case, not just when we’re on a call together.

I work with women across the full menopause transition: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

This includes women experiencing natural menopause, those who’ve had a hysterectomy or oophorectomy, women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) or early menopause, and anyone navigating this hormonal shift regardless of how they got there.

My clients are typically dealing with symptoms like fatigue, sleep disruption, stubborn weight changes (especially around the midsection), brain fog, and the general sense that their body has changed the rules without telling them.

Most are health-conscious women who’ve tried other approaches (apps, telehealth platforms, generic programs) and want something more individualized. They’re looking for a partner, not a protocol.

Single sessions also available for focused support on specific questions

Prefer to work together without committing to a full program? Single sessions are available for anyone who wants targeted guidance on specific questions.

Initial consultation (60 min): $200
Follow-up session (30 min): $100

Single sessions work well when you have a clear focus and want expert input without ongoing support. I’m happy to discuss which approach fits your situation.

Questions before you book?

I’m a cash-pay practice, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. This allows me to spend time researching your specific questions, provide the kind of personalized attention that insurance-based models don’t support, and keep our work focused on what matters to you, not what a billing code requires.

After each session, I’ll provide you with a superbill, a detailed receipt that includes the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurance company needs to process a claim. You can submit this to your insurer for potential reimbursement as an out-of-network provider. Reimbursement amounts vary by plan, so I recommend calling your insurance company beforehand to ask about your out-of-network nutrition benefits.

I know this represents a real investment. If cost is a concern, please mention it during our discovery call. I’m committed to finding ways to make this accessible for women who need support.

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, please give at least 48 hours notice so I can offer your slot to someone else. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice may be charged the full session fee.

No. I’m not interested in taking away the things that bring you pleasure.
My approach focuses on what we can add rather than leading with a list of restrictions. More protein, more fiber, more of the foods that support your energy and hormonal health. When your diet is built on a strong foundation, there’s room for your morning coffee, a glass of wine, or an order of nacho fries.

That said, I’ll always be honest with you. If something is interfering with a specific goal you’ve set, I’ll tell you what the evidence says and let you decide what trade-offs you’re willing to make. But I’m not going to hand you a list of forbidden foods or shame you for enjoying your life.

You’re an adult. My job is to give you the information and support you need to make your own informed choices, not to police your pleasures.

A CNS is an advanced credential for nutrition professionals, requiring a master’s or doctoral degree in nutrition or a related field, at least 1,000 hours of supervised practice, and passing a rigorous board certification exam. It’s similar in scope to a Registered Dietitian (RD), though the training pathway differs slightly. You can learn more about the CNS credential here.

CNS practitioners are licensed to provide medical nutrition therapy and can work with complex health conditions. I’ve passed the board exam and am currently completing my supervised practice hours through the Clinician’s Incubator program. I also hold state licenses in Washington (CN) and Connecticut (CDN).

In practical terms: I have the clinical training to work with you on real health concerns, not just general wellness advice.

I offer virtual sessions and can work with clients located in: Arizona, California (with a physician referral), Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.

What matters is where you’re physically located when we meet, not where I’m based. State licensure laws change frequently, so if you don’t see your state listed or have questions, just email me or bring it up on a discovery call.

Absolutely. Perimenopause fatigue isn’t just “being tired”—it’s a deep, systemic exhaustion often driven by fluctuating hormones, disrupted sleep, and changes in how your body regulates blood sugar. As a perimenopause nutritionist, I focus on how we can use food as a tool to stabilize your energy levels throughout the day.

Nutrition helps address the root causes of midlife fatigue by:

– Balancing Blood Sugar: We focus on adding fiber and protein to prevent the “glucose roller coaster” that leads to afternoon crashes.

– Supporting Mitochondrial Health: Your cells are “reorganizing” during this transition; we prioritize micronutrients that help your body produce energy more efficiently.

– Improving Sleep Quality: By adjusting meal timing and specific mineral intake, we can help calm the nervous system for more restorative rest.

My approach is never about restriction or “white-knuckling” your way through a diet. Instead, we look at the evidence to see what we can add to your plate to help you feel strong, energized, and like yourself again.
