- To prepare
- Nothing at all
- You’ll leave with
- A sense of fit
Booked whenever you’re ready.
No. Practical wellness counseling — never diagnosis or treatment. If therapy or medical care would help, we’ll point you there.
Not at all. Most clients simply book a discovery call; we’re glad to coordinate with your care team.
Both. Maren sees clients in lower Manhattan and virtually; Claire works virtually from California.
It varies — twelve focused weeks for some, a full year through fertility to postpartum for others.
Then you’re in the right place. Those plans assumed endless willpower. We build for the real you.
