Nutrition Counseling

Holistic Nutrition Counseling

It can be overwhelming to take on the health of your whole cycle. This is why I brought back nutrition counseling.

The first place to start with any health related issue or cycle imbalance is with the food you’re eating.

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in hormone, endocrine, digestive, and liver health. The main components in cycle and menstrual wellness.

Clear the confusion about how to eat and get the support to learn about how YOUR BODY wants to and needs to be eating.

Our food and nutrition is about so much more than what goes on our plate. It’s about our beliefs around self nourishment, what we learned as children, and what we internalized as we grew up. There is no one size fits all when it comes to a positive nourishing way of eating.

After a decade working in the field of nutrition and wellness, I take a fully holistic approach. I’m looking at you as a whole person in the context of your life. Supporting your body & hormones through nutrition can work for your lifestyle, your preferences, and your time and budget.

Get clear, relatable, applicable guidance from a nutritionist trained in multiple schools of nutrition, Ayurveda, and botanical medicine.

Based in Holistic Nutrition, Ayurveda, Lifestyle Medicine, and Energy Healing and Emotional Mindfulness, Nutrition Counseling is one on one individualized nutrition consulting focusing on eating for the health of your whole system.

Because the systems of the body are a web, we focus on the systems of the body that contribute to digestive and hormone health such as endocrine and liver health, blood sugar & digestion, daily routine, and emotional and mental well-being and selfcare.

Holistic Nutrition Counseling is designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and capable when it comes to knowing how to eat for your individual constitution.

No two people are the same, and no two people need or want to eat the same way. This work reflects the unique constitution and picture we all bring to our health and healing journey.

Things I Work With

  • eating to support and balance your dosha

  • nutrition to support fertility & conscious conception

  • nutrition for adrenal health

  • supporting healthy blood sugar

  • burn out & fatigue

  • holistic nutrition for women

  • weight struggles due to hormone imbalance

  • menstrual education for adults, teens & parents

  • nutrition to support being on birth control or transitioning off of it

Woven Through Our Sessions

  • nutrition recommendations for shifts and changes to create a balanced way of eating for hormone & digestive health

  • seasonal eating tips

  • uncovering your relationship with food and self-nourishment

  • lifestyle changes to easily incorporate your program

  • emotional and mental healing practices & perspectives

  • emotional support for whatever you’re going through

  • how your nutrition effects your health on all levels from hormonal, to sleep, to digestive, to emotional and mental

  • simple meal ideas for daily life

If you’re feeling disconnected from your body, wake up tired, feel you are doing all “the right things” in terms of food but are still experiencing health or gut issues, or are in a place of confusion about what the best way for you to eat is, you’ve come to the right place.

There is no one perfect way to eat, regardless of what dietary trends would have us believe. It’s also a reality that women have different dietary needs than men. Our needs also change in different seasons of life. Pregnancy, nursing or post-partum, mothers or caretakers, athletes, students, business owners working with their monthly cycles all have unique needs when it comes to food and nutrition.

Nourish your system so you can live your life with ease and full health.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • “Zara is an absolute fountain of knowledge when it comes to women's reproductive health. I truly believe every woman should have the opportunity to work with Zara so they can more closely understand and attune to their own bodies and cycles.”

    KELSEY MECH, CERTIFIED COUNSELOR

  • "All in all, Zara helped me be a more mindful person, in every aspect of my life. I'm so grateful to Zara for her teachings, her care and thoughtfulness, and her friendship.”

    ARIANA SANTANA

  • “Zara understands that small steps make for big wins and lasting changes. Her nutritional guidance, emotional support and suggestions for physical activities have helped me so much. I went from thinking I was a night owl, incapable of keeping any routine and zero desire to move my body, to someone who gets to bed earlier, takes vitamins daily, and checks in with herself.

    ARIANA SANTANA

  • “Zara applies a talented blend of knowledge, intuition, and insight in her counsel and support in working with women to deepen their awareness of their cycles and healthcare practices.  Her approach is holistic and integrative. 

    HEATHER LUTZ

  • "Learning how to assess, understand, and work with my cycle has been both empowering and grounding me into a deeper connection with my body.  Through this work with Zara, I've been able to cultivate an appreciation of how my body is connected to the cycles of nature and Her exquisite intelligent design to which I naturally belong."

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Anyone who wants to understand how to eat in a way that better supports their individual health and constitution. Although I primarily work with nutrition for women, men who are wanting to eat healthier and increase their nutritional health are welcome as well.

  • We will work on whatever presents itself as the underlying causes or contributors to what you are experiencing as well as tangible ways to apply changes in daily life. This can be nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar issues, changing eating habits, adrenal health & sleep practices, emotional components, family dynamics with food or the way food was handled when you were growing up, your relationship to yourself and your body, how to tweak your schedule…it’s a long list.

  • Our first session is an hour and 15 minutes and is where we get to know each other more. We will go over things in your intake form that stand out, I will ask lots of questions to understand your history ( what you choose to share), and where you are now in this moment. We will talk about your goals and create a plan for how to get there.

  • I never want finances to come in the way of someone getting care and I also have to take care of myself. I do not offer a sliding scale but will offer you an option to pay for your package in one or two installments, with the last installment paid within 24 hours of our last session.

  • Yes. Everything we talk about is confidential between us.

  • Yes and yes. I have been working in and facilitating healing workshops with plant medicine for the last decade, working with many participants across the healing and trauma spectrum who have experienced different types of trauma and are coming for healing. I study transformational energy healing, and anything you have been through or experienced in something we can talk about and hold a space for.
