How It Works
Are you looking to book an appointment with a nutritionist or dietitian? Here’s how it works:
1. Which package?
After looking at our services page, please visit the packages and pricing page. Take a look and decide which of the four, single session (with or without a meal plan), 4- or 7-session packages, appeals to you the most.
2. How would you like to receive nutrition counselling: in-person or virtually?
Next decide if you’d like to receive nutrition counselling in person at one of the 5 JM Nutrition locations or via phone, Skype, FaceTime, Zoom or Google Meet.
You can now join many of our clients who resort to virtual counselling. Rest assured, they are just as effective.
3. Office locations
If you prefer to have your sessions conducted in person, please take a look at all the JM Nutrition office locations and decide which is the most convenient.

4. Select Practitioner
Decide which practitioner’s areas of expertise suit your needs and goals best. If you need advice making the selection, email us, and we will help.
We also encourage you to check your insurance coverage as you may have annual coverage for a nutritionist, dietitian, or both.

5. Contact us to book an appointment (initial session)
Simply get in touch with us, and we’ll let you know what appointment time slots are available. Don’t forget to specify:
- which package is of interest to you
- whether you’d like to receive counselling in-person or virtually
- if you’d like to see a registered nutritionist or registered dietitian
- if you select in-person, let us know at which location
We then book an appointment for the initial session.
6. Intake form
After booking an appointment for the initial session, we will send you an intake form. The form is designed to give our nutritionists and dietitians a clearer, more in-depth picture of your health concerns and goals. This allows us to serve you better.
We ask you to fill out the form and return it digitally prior to the initial session.
7. First appointment—initial session
During the first appointment (i.e. initial session) we will co-create a personalized meal plan (not applicable to Singe Session, No Meal Plan) based on your intake form and input.
8. Meal plan arrives
A few days after the initial session session, you will receive the personalized meal plan. The meal plan is designed to help you navigate your way through meals, so you can get started on your way to reaching your goal.
You will also receive a variety of helpful tips and important guidelines to help you navigate tricky situations. You will receive recipes, too.
9. Schedule follow-up sessions
After the initial session, we schedule weekly or biweekly follow-up nutritional counselling sessions, as our schedules permit. Th sessions are used to check in, monitor progress, make adjustments, answer questions, etc.
10. Cancellations and rescheduling
If for whatever reason you’re unable to make it to your appointment, we ask that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance. That said, however, the more time you can give us, the better we can serve all clients—including you.
11. Payment
Please keep in mind that payment is due upon the first visit (i.e. initial session).
We accept the following methods of payment: credit card, electronic money transfer or cash.
