Common Questions

Everything you need to know before booking

Most health insurance plans โ€” including Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Independence, Keystone Health Plan East, Personal Choice, and Medicare โ€” cover nutrition counseling. Starting January 1, 2026, there is a $40 wellness fee with insurance coverage. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to confirm Kirsten is in-network with your specific plan, or contact us and we can help.
The first visit is about 60 minutes and focuses on getting to know you โ€” your health history, family background, lifestyle, current diet, cultural preferences, and goals. There is no judgement. Kirsten will also begin sharing basic nutrition information relevant to your situation, and you'll often leave with initial suggestions and recipes you can start with straight away.
It varies by person and goal, but many clients achieve meaningful, measurable improvements in just 2โ€“4 visits. Follow-up visits are 30 minutes. Some clients prefer to check in periodically for ongoing accountability over months or years โ€” that's fine too. Kirsten doesn't over-schedule appointments and respects your time.
Yes. Kirsten serves all of Pennsylvania via telehealth (Zoom). In-person visits are available at her private office in Fort Washington, PA. After each visit โ€” whether virtual or in-person โ€” she emails information pages and resources so you always have something to refer back to.
Self-pay options are available and reasonably priced. The initial visit is $120, and follow-up visits are $75 per 30-minute session. Kirsten keeps visits efficient and purposeful โ€” you won't feel like appointments are being dragged out unnecessarily.
No extreme meal plans. Kirsten's philosophy is that sustainable health improvements come from small, realistic changes โ€” not complete dietary overhauls. She builds meal plans around foods you already enjoy, shows you better options at your favourite restaurants, and respects your cultural food traditions. The goal is progress, not perfection.
