1. Initial Contact (optional)
Email to let me know a little about you and your meal planning goals. Based off of our email correspondence, I will let you know which service suits you best, Dinner only, Fresh Start 1.0 or
Fresh Start 2.0 . You may purchase a menu plan without an initial email, but if you aren't 100% sure, please contact me first.
2. Payment
Â
Select Dinner only, Fresh Start 1.0 or Fresh Start 2.0 and submit payment.
3. Food Preference Questionnaire
Once payment is received, you will be emailed a link to the Food Preference Questionnaire that helps me to know your likes/dislikes and goals. Complete and submit.
4. In three to five business days you receive your PERSONALIZED 30 day menu planÂ
I will walk you through the next steps in loading your new menu plan on your new meal planning app!

FAQ
​​What exactly am I getting? This is a HIGH VALUE service!You are getting links to recipes you will like, from sites that have other recipes you may like, all put on an app you will like that also includes automatic grocery lists! All of this is curated by someone who knows where all the good things are found and can personalize it to your own health goals. Basically, I steer you in the right direction . . . . a fresh start.
​​What this service doesn't do: I don't send you actual food. I do not sell cookbooks. Everything you need to plan and shop for healthy meals that fit your unique lifestyle is in a digital format.
​Will I receive a paper copy of my meal plan? No. This is an all digital service. However, you may absolutely print out your plan and shopping list on your own home printer.
Is there a "return" policy? No. Because this is a custom service, by purchasing a plan, you are agreeing to the terms. Once you pay, I immediately start getting to work on your personalized plan.
Can you accommodate food allergies? I can accommodate most food intolerances. Outright food allergies ( say, you have a severe peanut allergy, for example) are really the realm of a registered dietitian and requires very diligent label reading. So "yes" to food intolerance, but "no" to severe food allergies.
Is there a monthly charge? No. This is a one time fee.
Do I have to have a physician ordered diet or be working with a dietitian? No, but maybe you could/should. Fresh Start 2.0 is reserved for specific diets that require more planning on my part. I am happy to work with your Registered Dietitian to integrate this service into your care. With a written Dr.'s order, you may be able to use HSA funds for this plan. Explore that with your HSA provider.
