Frequently asked questions
Personal Chef FAQ’s :
will you accommodate specific diets or needs?
Yes! Because I am a certified nutritionist, it is my pleasure to work with you on achieving your nutrition goals. Your meals are completely custom and specifically crafted to meet your needs in all areas including - allergies, gluten intolerance, dairy sensitivities, macro goals, and taste/flavor-profile preferences.
Do you cook in my kitchen?
I do! All cooking is executed in your kitchen on the designated day that is arranged. Meals are prepared with your utensils and cooking appliances to your liking. Everything is clean and sparkly when I am finished for the day.
How long are you in my home the day you are cooking?
Depending on how many meals I am preparing, I am generally cooking for 2-4 hours. Packaging, labeling and cleaning up takes an additional 30-60 minutes. The window of time is always during the day and usually falls between 10am-3pm.
What is the cost of your personal chef services?
I am happy to provide you with pricing upon request. There are several factors to consider such as how many meals you would like prepared and how many servings are needed. Groceries are not included in pricing as this cost varies week to week depending on your selected menu. Food cost is additional to the personal chef service fee.
Where do you source your ingredients?
I prioritize local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible. I shop at a variety of stores including Fresh Direct, Nature’s Food Market, Green’s Market, Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Farmer’s Markets (when in season). I prefer organic produce and pasture raised meats and never use seed oils or artificial ingredients in my cooking.

Nutrition Coaching FAQ’s:
what is integrative nutrition?
The word integrative gets thrown around a lot these days. I define integrative health as the “integration” of all aspects of life when approaching self-care. This includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Though nutritional support is my specialization, I view holistic health as the entire being - mind, body and spirit.
Why is health coaching with you effective?
I am looking for highly motivated individuals who are truly ready to do the inner work. I offer compassion and understanding while also encouraging a no-nonsense, disciplined mindset. I want to lead you to confidently advocate for your own health so that you can experience true freedom through real nourishment.
How Long Will We work together"?
I offer a customized approach meaning that our time together varies depending on how often we meet and how quickly you achieve your goals. Support is provided based on the complexity of each individual so your time commitment may lengthen or shorten as we proceed.
