Consultation with Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D.

Many people find that scheduling  private consultations with Kathleen helps them get their program on track or directed for efficiency and success. Focused personal coaching allows you to pinpoint your specific needs and concerns.
There are a number of options:

• A exploratory telephone (or Zoom) conversation will be done at no charge. This time allows us to mutually explore best options given your motivation, skill and desired outcomes. It gives you a chance to see what it would be like to work with me and it gives me a way to assess where you are in your process and whether individual work with me will fit.
• A single telephone (or Zoom) consultation for 50 min. $200 USD
• A package of 4 sessions of 50 min each (either in ZOOM or by phone) focused on the design and implementation of your  food plan. This package is for functional, specific recommendations for getting started or doing a ‘reset’ with your food program. $500 USD paid in advance. This fee is not refundable.
• A 90-day intensive consultation series. This package includes one 50 min session per week for 10 sessions. The sessions are focused on design and implementation of food plan and looking at the things that get in your way. You will learn to work with your food journal and to make changes in a way that you understand what they are doing in your brain and. body. This is NOT about “accountability” but is designed to move you towards a joyful relationship with what and when you are eating. If you have struggled in the past with your relationship with your body or your food, this is the best way to get started. $1650 USD paid in advance. And yes, these fees are higher than the 4 session package because the content of the work is different.This fee is not refundable.
• A intensive ongoing consultation series which includes food and life planning. This includes one 60 min session per week for an individually designed time and frequency. Oftentimes this follows the 90 day signature consultation. There is a specialized reduced fee for people using this package.

As noted above the SIGNATURE CONSULTATIONS involve a longer time commitment from you and intensive coaching.  We have found that this option can turbocharge your program. Here are some of the ways your peers have used the Signature Plan:

• If you are having a hard time getting traction. We discovered that the interactive journal process is a really, really exciting tool.
• If you are dealing with a number of other addictions in trying to sort out what to do when and how.
• If you are trying to sort out how to work with your kids and are just stuck. Having intensive feedback and guidance seems to offer a wonderful structure.
• If you want intensive support, if you have special needs that would benefit from ongoing guidance or you would like to make a serious commitment to your program, this is the best option.

The signature plans allow you to pay an up-front discounted fees. Please note that the signature plans are NOT refundable. Other configurations can be scheduled by mutual decision.
