Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer meal plans?

Yes, I provide customized meal plans for my clients, however, this is an add-on service — you must firstly have a consultation before a meal plan can be curated. You can select from 7-day ($40 USD), 14-day ($80 USD) and 28-day ($160 USD) meal plan options.

What is a "cultural nutrition" approach?

As "The Cultural Dietitian", I empower my clients to improve their health and quality of life by incorporating regional foods in a nutritionally beneficial way — without restrictive dieting or quick fixes. The focus is on building sustainable and healthful dietary habits, which includes making the cost effective use of regional, cultural foods.
