My Services

Marienda Nutrition is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois PPO plans. Coverage varies by plan and isn’t guaranteed. Please confirm your benefits with your insurer before your first visit. Self-pay is also available, with a superbill you can submit to other insurers for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

How Sessions Work

Initial Nutrition Assessment
We review your health history, labs and medications if relevant, current eating patterns, schedule, and goals. You leave with a clear starting plan and next steps.

Follow-Up Sessions
We check in on what’s working, adjust your plan, and build skills over time. Frequency depends on your goals, and we’ll decide together.

All visits are held over secure video chat in Practice Better.

Billing Insurance

Marienda Nutrition is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois PPO plans. Plans through an employer can differ and coverage varies.

What you’ll pay:

  • Copay or coinsurance: set by your plan

  • Deductible: if you haven’t met it, you may pay the contracted rate until you do.

Options for Self-Pay Clients

Single Session

$150

Good for a specific question, a check-in, or trying out working together before committing to a package. Superbills are available on request.

4-Session Package

$550

Initial assessment (1 hour) plus 3 follow-ups (1 hour each)

Best for: troubleshooting a specific issue, such as GI distress or a race-day fueling plan for an upcoming marathon or triathlon.

8-Session Package

$1100

Initial assessment (1 hour) plus 7 follow-ups (1 hour each). My most comprehensive package, built for nutrition needs that require ongoing adjustment.

Best for: rebuilding from underfueling/RED-S, improving relationship with food, or anyone who wants continuous support

Real, sustainable change doesn't happen in a single session. Most clients need several follow-ups after their initial nutrition assessment to fully implement and adjust their plan.
