Miriam's Offerings

Miriam's health counseling encompasses all parts of life - food, relationships, career and spirituality to help each client find joy, balance, health and peace in their life and bodies. She is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.

Single Sessions

Single sessions last approximately one hour and are perfect for addressing specific nutritional concerns with whole foods, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations. These sessions are designed to assess the needs of the individual and introduce new clients to basic nutritional guidelines pertaining to their nutritional goals. Single sessions are also ideal for those with a relatively strong knowledge base regarding nutrition that wish to have specific questions answered or for those who have completed more in-depth programs and wish to follow-up with extended counseling.

3 & 6 Month Programs

Bi-monthly visits are the best way to build strong nutritional foundations and to correct unwanted habits that take time to create and overcome. In these programs, nutritional suggestions are gradually introduced to allow the individual to make changes at a rate that will ensure lasting health. These programs are customized to fit the various needs of clients ranging from overcoming impaired health, reducing weight, improving mental and emotional thought patterns regarding nutrition and optimizing health in general. Progress is assessed at each session and changes are made accordingly. These sessions also offer continued inspiration and motivation and create accountability, which increases one’s ability to reach one’s goals.

Detoxification Programs

With over 100,000 new chemicals being introduced to our environment each year, detoxification is an exciting way to improve and protect your health. By way of its simplicity and superior therapeutic results which are felt almost immediately a quality detox program has been shown to increase energy, relieve allergies, clear the skin, improve mental function, jump start weight loss and decrease countless other symptoms. Miriam offers individualized, gentle full body cleanse programs that gives the body a chance to recover from the daily exposure to toxins while supplying adequate calories and nutrients needed to fuel detoxification pathways and energy requirements. Depending on the clients’ needs this detox can last anywhere from 14-28 days.

Supplements

Miriam uses the highest quality nutritional therapies designed by health care professionals for health care professionals. They are highly effective nutritional supplements based first and foremost on scientific evidence and meticulous research. These supplements are recommended to clients, confident in the knowledge that every product is guaranteed pure and safe...and backed by assays verifying the quantity of all ingredients. Supplements are recommended as an addition to healthy food choices, to improve certain conditions that would take a long time to heal with food alone or to provide nutrient density where foods alone cannot.
