What to Expect from a Nutrition Consultation:

HMC’s Nutritionist, Chelsea Fontaine, will meet with you to address whatever nutrition issues are most important to you. She will ask detailed questions about your medical history, current diet and lifestyle habits, diet preferences, and health goals. These questions allow Chelsea to tailor an individual eating plan to your wants and needs.

In your first visit, Chelsea will provide education regarding your topic of interest and will assist you in identifying a list of actions that will help you towards your goal. Subsequent sessions will consist of evaluating your progress and tweaking strategies as needed. She will consider your food preferences, quality of life, and emotional needs when making recommendations. She can assist you in several nutrition skills as well including food preparation, meal planning, food portioning, label reading, and grocery shopping. Chelsea is eager to help and offer a compassionate, judgement free space to help you reach your healthiest self!  Patients are seen by appointment only.
