It depends on two factors: how you would like to pay for your sessions and what you'd like to work on. If you wish to use your insurance, we can work with you if you reside in any of the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, LA, MI, MO, NJ, NY, OR, PA, TX, VA, and WA. Insurance coverage typically applies to preventive nutrition counseling and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, abnormal cholesterol, eating disorders, and more. Our team is pleased to partner with Berry Street, which allows us to work with clients in Louisiana and across the country through their insurance coverage. Most of our clients pay $0 out-of-pocket for their sessions and have unlimited covered sessions with our team per year. After you submit your application, we will collect your insurance information and submit a benefits check. Then, we will contact you with your coverage information, any copays, and the number of visits for which you are covered. If you wish to self-pay, our hourly rate is $145/hour or $72.50/half hour. For your convenience, we bundle sessions together in packages. This provides you a discount as well as a plethora of additional resources to support your outside of sessions. Our current packages: - 3-Month Signature Program for $1110 or 3 payments of $370 (new clients) - (4) 60-minute sessions for $493 (existing clients) - (12) 30-minute sessions for $740 (existing clients) - Strong and Sturdy, our community membership: $50/month (existing or graduated clients only) All packages include: - 1:1 nutrition coaching with your dedicated registered dietitian - Weekly check-ins from your provider - even on weeks you don't meet! - Access to a private, encrypted chat for support between sessions - Enrollment in our membership community, Strong + Sturdy, which provides 5+ group nutrition sessions per month [hosted by Maria], access to our nutrition resource library, and community support from like-minded folks working on similar goals! - Personalized, customizable meal planning support through EatLove All packages can be paid in full or through payment plans with no additional fees or interest!

We typically meet bi-weekly, although this depends largely on your needs and goals. Some clients need more support when they're first getting started, in which case weekly sessions are also an option. We will 'graduate' clients from biweekly to monthly and quarterly sessions as they start to strengthen their habits and build their confidence. Sessions are flexible to fit your schedule. We meet with clients Monday through Saturday in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings.

If you are located in the Greater New Orleans area, you can meet our team at our office located in Uptown New Orleans.

This happens occasionally! We will alert you if your benefits verification comes back with no benefits. We do accept FSA/HSA funds for services as well! We can discuss your options for self-pay as well as alternate avenues for support, such as our community membership or group coaching. We're here to find a solution that gets you feeling good about food!

Absolutely not! We believe in adding to your plate, not taking away. Only in the event of assessing if a food irritates or instigates your symptoms will make recommendations to avoid a particular food.

Yes, you can. In fact, some of our New Orleans-based clients become gym members later down the line! We are open to meeting with local clients in-person in Uptown New Orleans or virtually, whichever is preferred and agreeable with your schedule.

We are excited you're interested in our team! Our providers are hand-selected by Maria and emulate a similar approach, energy, and mindset around nutrition. What makes these providers special is that they have diverse backgrounds, skillsets, and special interests. We encourage you to learn more about them here.

As long as you received a confirmation after your submission, we have everything we need. Please do not submit multiple applications. We do our very best to reach out to you as soon as possible; we know that once you're ready, you're looking to get started! We appreciate your patience and should be in touch no later than one week from your submission, though often much sooner.
