Get the Boost You Need to Succeed
Individual Coaching
When you’re chasing the career of your dreams or juggling the responsibilities of work and family, curious about trying the latest diet trend or managing a medical condition, individualizing and personalizing your nutrition program — making it practical and realistic — is essential for helping you reach your goals. With a plethora of information offered on the internet or misinformation provided by self-proclaimed experts, there’s not enough time to sort the information, do your research and apply formulas, master cooking skills and keep up with the macros you need to stay fit.
That’s where Lisa Dorfman comes in.
Lisa offers a one-stop shop — an integrative holistic approach from head to toe to help you take your health and physique to the next level. She is uniquely equipped with nearly all the credentials: licenses, certifications and three decades of expertise in nutrition, culinary arts, mental health and fitness to save you money and time by having one expert for all your needs.
In addition to working with a wide range of athletes and celebrities, she’s passionate about helping everyday men, women, teens and kids unleash their potential and level up their health. As part of the individualized services, Lisa will help you get each factor of your health journey in check with a comprehensive and integrative approach to positive change, whether that means a one-time session or ongoing checkups.
If you’re an athlete looking to up your game or if you need to prepare for your favorite sports competition or recover from illness or injury, Lisa can create a personalized program, coach and train you along your journey so you can perform your best and/or safely return to the sport you love.
This package includes:
Personalized on-site or online programs
Dietary analysis to identify your deficiencies and excesses
Body composition assessment
Culinary guidance and meal-, snack- and macro-specific menus
Fitness training
Mental health counseling
Reiki therapy
Individual coaching begins with completing Lisa’s Nutrition Activity Assessment©, a comprehensive questionnaire to help Lisa identify and understand your personal medical, diet and fitness history and obtain any laboratory reports necessary prior to the initial consultation.
Next, Lisa will set up a 15-minute virtual discovery meeting, where she will meet and discuss your background and current goals with you.
If you both decide to take the next steps, an on-site or virtual comprehensive appointment is scheduled to start your journey, to assess your body composition if onsite and, for both onsite and virtual, to perform a diet analysis and create a Phase I program to take your health and sport performance to the next level. The cost of this service is $250.
Ongoing meetings can be scheduled weekly, biweekly or monthly. Regardless of the frequency, what’s important is to commit to at least three months in order to see real life-changing results. Each Therapy session is 60 minutes and will address your priorities, with tools designed to relieve the stress, tension or tears of your recent life events. Therapy sessions are covered by insurance. Please inquire for more information.
