Counseling Available at Eating for Energy

Counseling Procedure

Initially you attend 2 - one hour sessions for a total cost of $220 (GST exempt). This includes an assessment and consultation. (If 2 people attend together the cost is $320.) You can then attend as many sessions as you like or need at a cost of $50 per 1/2 hour follow-up session or $100/hr. Single visit $120. Weekly email accountability program $30/week.

First visit: Allow 45 to 60 minutes for this appointment. Information will be collected regarding your current eating habits, your schedule, previous diet attempts, your exercise routine and any special concerns you may have. You will be given forms to record your food intake for 5 days. Following completion of the 5-day record, you will email, fax, mail or drop off the forms. At this point, the second appointment will be scheduled. The second appointment is usually within 7 to 10 days of the first appointment.

Second visit: In this 1 hour session you will prepare a plan of action for improved eating. The plan will be very individualized and designed to fit your schedule, food preferences, etc. It is not a diet or short term strategy, but rather the first step in developing lifelong healthy eating habits.

Followup visits: You are welcome to arrange as many follow up appointments as you would like. Generally our clients like to return within 3 to 4 weeks to evaluate the progress they are making and have their plan reviewed. Some clients then return on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis just to stay motivated. You can design whatever followup program you like. The cost is $40 per half hour session. If the session lasts 1 hour, the cost is $80. If you purchase 5 followup sessions at one time, the cost is $175 or $35 per session. (Ten sessions = $350).

Consultation with Diana Steele: Individual $300, Couple $450, and $50 for each 1/2 hour follow up

Weight Loss Package: Initial 2 visits, five 1/2 hour follow ups and weekly emails for $450, Couples 6 month package $700

Payment Options: Cash, cheque, VISA or Mastercard. Fees must be paid at first session. No Interact available.

Check your policy to see if it covers nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian.
