Q.  What will we do the first session?

A. We go into the individual options you bring to the program. My goal:  for you to know how to make food work for you, not against you. Our first meeting involves coaching you on the specifics of your doctor-prescribed diet, your timeline, or your training program.  We will look at your successes so far and questions and then at the list of your consumed foods and fluids from your 3-day log (above). You will receive a notebook the first meeting containing a list of foods from the carbohydrate, healthy fats, protein, and vegetable groups (in other words, the food supply). These foods work for you in accordance to your individually designed program.

Q.  Will my program be planned personally for me?

A.  Yes, your program is customized from day-one. You will find there is much more in your personalized notebook you receive the first week. I design and implement a regimen based on your goals and timeframe. The foods listed reflect your training program or diet prescription and incorporate your personal preferences from beneficial foods. You have a points system to meet every day. Receive your customized eating plan for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks, and motivation for accomplishing your goals on your specific timeline.

Q.  Do I pay up-front for my program?  Is there any way to work with you if I can’t get to your office once a week?

A.  Yes, payment is in advance, with your signing up for a given number of sessions and paying ahead as you would a trainer.  Call 760-271-3629 for individual programs.  Price is according to the number of sessions required to design and implement a regimen based on your goals and timeline.

• For distance meetings, phone consultations are available.  Phone consultation may be just what you need to get you back on the wagon!  With a 30-minute phone consultation, questions geared to your specific goals (weight loss, fitness, family nutrition balancing, or just an overall improvement in wellness) are answered.
• For long distance coaching, eCoaching is available, also.  With eCoaching, this happens once you have met with me and have had your current nutritional intake and training regimen evaluated, have received feedback and have been provided with a customized nutrition and training program geared towards your specific goals (fitness or just overall improvement in wellness). Then, the eCoaching option kicks in with an  additional month of email access.

Q.  Will you have an assistant see me or will I be working with you, Mya?  

A.  You will be working with me.  We will meet once a week at one of my three office sites.  If you are enrolled in the Marvelous Care System or some of the Add-On programs then we will meet more than once weekly (or by eCoaching). The Travel Program and Business Travel Diet offer sessions via telephone (US locations) and email.  The Oncology Program and select other programs mention the ability to meet individuals’ mobility restrictions by conducting meetings via telephone or email, as needed; and there is an Away Program to accommodate all client’s if their situation require long – distance diet consultations.

Q.  What do you think you have to offer over other programs?
A.

• Lifestyle shift – make it a long-term change this time
• Tons of options- because you open up your new ways of looking at every day life
• The Choices: I will design you a plan for your social and business dinners, or lunches away from home, or designed for your particular needs
