Turns out, eating isn't supposed to be this complicated.
& you deserve more than a life ruled by “shoulds” and “shouldnt’s”
Nutrition Counseling in Philly & Pennsylvania (& about 15 more states)
You’re scared to let go of control,
You’ve got a LOT going on in your life. Every box has been checked, every milestone reached, yet somehow you still don’t feel like it’s enough. And then tack on the fact that you have to figure out how to feed yourself 3+ times a day?! Literally when will it start to feel easier?
You want to find out who you are outside of all these metrics you’re tracking, but the idea of really figuring that out is leaving you a bit (okay, a lot) nervous. It’s time to get curious about those “what ifs” on repeat in your brain, and shift the focus to what is.

but even more scared of staying stuck.
Keeping the Therapy in Nutrition Therapy
Yes, we’ll talk about the food. But we’ll also talk about so much more than that because at the end of the day, having that control around food is really just compensating for feeling out of control of your life.
Oops, sorry. Someone had to say it!
Nutrition Therapy for
Eating Disorders
You’re experiencing some big emotions when it comes to eating. Whether you’re restricting, bingeing, purging, or a mix of it all, our sessions will support you as you work towards a more peaceful, flexible, and nourishing approach to eating.

Nutrition Therapy for
Disordered Eating
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to know something feels off with food. Maybe you're constantly thinking about what you should eat, feeling guilty after meals, or swinging between restriction and chaos. In our sessions, we will untangle those food thoughts and bring you back to your body’s cues.

Nutrition Therapy for
Trauma
Being able to control what you eat and the size of your body has always kept you safe. It’s been yours to control and dictate. But recently it hasn’t been serving you in the same way and that’s really bugging you out. During our work, we will explore how trauma is impacting your relationship with food because what we really want for you is to feel empowered in your eating.

The Team
Two dietitians who are really good at meeting you where you’re at. Extroverted, relational, outgoing, expressive, and tbh trying to be more human than clinician (though we’ll put that hat on when we need to).
And you didn't think we'd forget about the MVPs of the team, did you?

Step Two
What’s a discovery call?
It’s a way you can meet us IRL (well, over the phone). While not required, it’s a great way to make sure we vibe so you can get the most out of sessions together!
Step Three
The vibes are there. Now it’s time to schedule your initial session. There will be some paperwork to fill out ahead of time, and likely a call to your insurance, but this is the beginning of your new relationship with food.
Things we get asked all the time...
Click on the question below to view the answer!
Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?
Nope! We work with folks at every stage of their relationship with food. Whether you’d like to recover from an eating disorder, work on a specific health condition, or just explore your relationship with food from a non-diet lens, we are your gals.
Back to the questions
Is everything virtual?
Yes, all sessions are held via secure video calls. That means you can show up just as you are, from anywhere in Pennsylvania. Pet cameos allowed (and encouraged) during sessions.
Not located in Pennsylvania? No problem! We can also see clients in Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, New York, DC, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and California. Cue the fifty states jingle we learned in elementary school.
Back to the questions
What kind of things do we talk about in session?
Anything that can be tied back to your relationship with food is fair game - people-pleasing by saying yes to a restaurant you really didn’t want to go to, that weird thing your mom said at dinner last week, a new find at the grocery store, etc. Food is the entry point, and it’s never the whole story.
Back to the questions
Do you take insurance?
We sure do! We currently accept Aetna insurance plans as a way to make care more accessible.
If you don’t have Aetna, we can still work together. A Superbill (aka a receipt for your nutrition therapy sessions) can be provided upon request for you to submit to your insurance company. Depending on your insurance plan, this may be applied to your out-of-network benefits. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to ask your insurance about out-of-network benefits!

- Rachel’s rates are $175 for a 50 minute session and $105 for a 30 minute session.
- Emily’s rates are $165 for a 50 minute session and $95 for a 30 minute session.
We value high quality care, and in order to put 100% of our focus towards you as our client, our fees account for not only our one-on-one session time, but also communication with the rest of your care team, brief email support to you and your loved ones, completing continuing education in specialized areas, and more.
We offer a limited number of reduced-rate spots for clients who may need financial assistance.

Back to the questions
Why do you specialize in trauma if it’s not related to food?
Food is rarely just about food. Many of our clients have unprocessed experiences that impact how safe they feel in their bodies. That’s why we take a trauma-aware approach, grounded in training with Gina Mateer - to support your nervous system.
