Nutrition counseling from non-diet,
weight-inclusive dietitians in New York
Instead of following someone else's rules around how much you 'should' eat or how you 'must' exercise - what if you could tune into what you know you need.
This process of “weight cycling” can be harmful to both physical and mental health.
I had difficulty with stress eating and a complicated relationship with food and my body.
I consider myself as someone in a larger body and really appreciated the level of acceptance and anti-fatphobic work that were incorporated into our sessions. Jasmine really helped me see the full picture of my wellness and satisfaction in regards to food.
I understand myself and my body better, and overall, feel so much more loving and accepting around food and my body.
My team and I are here to help you reconnect to your inner wisdom and feel more confident in your here-and-now body. Eating doesn’t have to be complicated or restrictive.
We’ll support you through your intuitive eating journey so you can make peace with food, movement, and your body so you can show up in your life as your most authentic self.
I have become more aware and in touch with myself since working with Jasmine. I understand my eating habits and have challenged thoughts I have about my body. Jasmine has always been very responsive and a great listener.
Diets are exhausting and I wanted someone to help me find a different approach to eating and food.
Jasmine helped me learn how to trust myself and my hunger. It's a work in progress, but I'm now able to listen to my internal cues.
Jasmine helped me truly accept that I don't need to follow a prescribed diet or look a certain way to be healthy.

Next, you will complete the necessary paperwork for us to start your care. If you are using insurance, then we will need that information as well.
During the initial session, we’ll spend 70 minutes getting to know you and your relationship with food, movement, and your body – past and present. You’ll share your goals and what you hope to gain out of our work together.
Ongoing follow-up appointments to further support you during your journey. It takes time to heal your relationship with food and your body. We offer flexible options for follow-up appointments.
All nutrition counseling sessions are virtual. We accept both private pay and insurance.
Given the society we live in and the value it places on body size, we completely understand the desire to want to lose weight.
Studies show that 95% of people who go on diets end up regaining any weight lost; 67% of those regain more weight than they started with. This process of “weight cycling” can be harmful to both physical and mental health. For these reasons, weight loss will not be the goal of our sessions.
We're here to support you and hold space for your desire to lose weight. We'll also help you understand how this fits into your values and goals. All bodies are welcome here.
Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to food, nutrition, and wellness that encourages you to break free from dieting, heal your relationship with food, and reconnect to your body’s needs. It’s rooted in self-care, self-compassion, and curiosity.
There are the 10 principles intuitive eating that help leaving behind the diet mentality and getting back in touch with your needs and desires.
If you dream for the day that you don’t feel stressed about food or your body, you may benefit from nutrition coaching. We're here to help guide you on your healing journey. Schedule a free Connection Call to get started!
This process looks different for everyone.
The amount of sessions we have depends on the person’s goals, dieting history, current food rules and struggles, readiness to change, support systems in place, etc. Some clients work with us for a few months while others work with us for longer.
The decision to keep meeting will be a shared one and will really depend on what you think is most helpful for you. Dieting and intuitive eating are complete opposites. Dieting is easy to learn upfront, but harder to sustain long-term.
Intuitive eating is harder to learn because you have to unlearn the diet mentality and food rules. It takes a lot of time, introspection, and can be an emotional process.
While it’s hard at first, intuitive eating is something that can become part of your life. One in which you can eat in a way that nourishes you and your body.
We are in-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and United Healthcare. If you have insurance with another company and have out-of-network benefits, we can provide you a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. It’s best to check with your insurance company to find out if you have these benefits. Payment is due at the time of service.
If you plan on using your insurance, download this document and send it your doctor.
Note: depending on where you live, we may or may not be able to accept your insurance due to state licensure laws.
We work with adults ages 18 years and older.
We can support caregivers with family meal time and other challenges they face when it comes to feeding children.
