JL,
Excellent news!
Since that was last night, I hope it went well.
Regarding fees...consider calling nutritionists in the area and see what they charge?

Re: i have a local client!
i can try. nutritionists aren't regulated where i live, so there's no standard...

Re: i have a local client!
You could call three or four, pretend to be a potential client, ask their experience, fees, what you get for the money, etc. and then average it out.
You have to keep in mind that you probably have more knowledge and research behind your recommendations than the majority of practicing nutritionists. Do others back up their suggestions with research? That could be a big plus!
Also, I'm not sure how to do it, but consider mentioning the fact that you've been providing your expertise via this site for years now.

Re: i have a local client!
i was thinking more about this today. if i was teaching a music lesson i would charge $50/hr. the nutrition info is worth waaay more than that. i am not sure about charging by the hour or by the consult or what. maybe a minimum flat rate etc.

Re: i have a local client!
How about working out an hourly rate and a flat rate and giving the client the choice?
Re: i have a local client!
thx munchkin 
suze i'm thinking both will have to be worked in somehow, for sure. but with a minimum basic fee to start.
