You've outgrown one-off advice.
You've seen a dietitian before. You left with a handout and a follow-up you never booked. Information was never the missing piece — steady support was.
Natalie Kowell, RD· Registered Dietitian & Food Scientist· Portland, Oregon
The science of food. The practice of connection.
One-on-one nutrition counseling built on an ongoing relationship — with a dietitian who has spent her career inside food science. Telehealth across Oregon, plus grocery store tours in Portland.
01 Who this is for
Is this you?
You're tired of wellness noise.
Every feed is full of confident, contradictory advice. You want one person who reads the research and the ingredient list — and who knows your name.
You want a partner, not a prescription.
Real change happens over months, in ordinary weeks. You're looking for someone in your corner for week twelve — not just day one.
02 Membership
One membership. A standing seat at the table.
This is an ongoing partnership — sessions, messaging, meal planning, and movement in one monthly rhythm. Not a package of appointments that runs out.

03 Insurance, translated
Using your out-of-network benefits
Kowell Consulting is a cash-pay practice — that's what keeps sessions long, flexible, and entirely about you. Many members still get money back through their insurance's out-of-network benefits. Here's how that works, in plain English.
You pay directly
You pay Kowell Consulting for your membership. No networks, no referrals, no surprise bills later.
You receive a superbill
Each month you get a superbill — an itemized receipt in the format insurance companies recognize.
A service files the claim
A third-party claims service can submit the superbill to your insurer for you. Depending on your plan, part of the cost may come back to you.
The honest fine print: reimbursement is never guaranteed — it depends entirely on your individual plan and its out-of-network terms. Not sure what your plan covers? Ask on your free call and we'll help you figure out what questions to ask your insurer.
04 À la carte
Sometimes you just need the one thing.
Sample pricing
Grocery store tours
Ninety minutes in a real Portland store with a food scientist. Read labels, decode claims, and leave with a cart — and a system — you actually trust. From $150 (sample).
Supplement protocols
Bring the bottles. A food-first review of what you take, what the evidence says it does, and what you can stop buying. From $120 (sample).
Meal planning
Four weeks of plans built around your kitchen, your budget, and the people at your table — with recipes and grocery lists. From $180 (sample).
05 About
[ CLIENT PHOTO ]
Food scientist by training. Dietitian by conviction.
Natalie Kowell has spent her career on both sides of food: in the lab, where products are formulated, tested, and labeled — and across the table, where eating actually happens. That double vision is the practice. She can tell you what's really in the package, and she can help you build a life where that knowledge turns into meals you look forward to.
She founded Kowell Consulting on a simple observation: nutrition advice fails when it's delivered as information, and succeeds when it's practiced inside a relationship. That's why the practice is built on membership — a standing, human commitment — rather than one-off appointments.
"Wellness comes through connection."

Frequently asked
What does membership cost?
Membership tiers are shown above — the prices on this page are samples for design review, and final pricing will be confirmed before launch. Every membership starts with a free 15-minute call, so you can decide whether this is the right fit before spending anything.
Do you take insurance?
The practice is cash-pay, which keeps sessions longer and more flexible than insurance networks allow. You'll receive a monthly superbill, and a third-party service can file an out-of-network claim with your insurer — depending on your plan, part of the cost may be reimbursed. Reimbursement always depends on your individual plan and is never guaranteed.
How do telehealth sessions work?
Sessions happen over secure video from wherever you are in Oregon. You'll get a link before each appointment — no software to install, no waiting room. Messaging between sessions happens in the same secure client portal.
What happens in a first session?
Mostly, you talk and Natalie listens. You'll cover how you actually eat, shop, and cook now, what you've tried before, and what you want to be different. You'll leave with one or two concrete places to start — not a stack of rules — and a plan for your first month together.
Can I cancel or change tiers?
Yes. Membership is month-to-month — you can move between tiers, pause, or cancel as life changes. The goal is a partnership that fits your season, not a contract that traps you.
Who do you work with?
Adults across Oregon who want an ongoing, evidence-based partnership around food — and, in Portland, anyone who'd like a grocery store tour. On the business side, Natalie consults for food and beverage teams on formulation, auditing, and regulatory questions. If you're not sure you're a fit, the free call is exactly for that.
