We offer a limited number of sliding scale slots for folxs on Medicaid and folx experiencing financial hardship. Please inquire about this.

A credit/debit card on file is required to secure appointments.
Thanks to changes in healthcare regulations, the majority of insurance plans cover medical nutrition therapy. So, you might be able to get your nutrition care at no cost to you!
Some private healthcare insurance plans cover dietitian services. And federal healthcare plans cover some dietitian nutritionist costs. Keep in mind, no insurance plans cover visits with nutritionists. “Nutritionist” is not a regulated title and, technically, not a healthcare professional. It’s important to confirm coverage with your healthcare provider, as all plans are different.
