I'd Love to chat with you if:

A general (and incomplete) list of the areas I feel most passionate about.

Chronic Dieting

You've spent too long trying diets, restricting and/or feeling guilty about what/when/how you eat, and want to escape the cycle.

Youth

You are (or are the guardian of) a teen or preteen who is struggling with their relationship with food and/or food acceptance ('picky eating').

Disordered Eating

You have an eating disorder, or feel like the way you think about eating/food might be negatively impacting your mental health.

Food Discovery

You're ready to learn about nutrition, try new foods or ingredients, learn how to cook, or make eating more fun.

Chaotic Eating & Appetite

You forget to eat, eat inconsistently, have a limited diet, or struggle to find space to make food choices that feel good.

Medical Conditions

You have a medical condition (diabetes, IBS, IBD, high cholesterol/blood pressure, etc) that impacts your eating and/or food freedom.

Even if you don't neatly fit into one of these groups, please feel free to email me or book a free discovery call to see if I can support you!

Some things I often chat with my clients about:

The Diet Cycle (and why dieting doesn't actually make us healthier)
What 'healthy eating' actually looks like
Eating with curiosity instead of judgement
Fiber!
Systemic issues that show up in food and eating (e.g. classism, capitalism, neurotypical expectations)
Managing and understanding patterns of "emotional eating"
"Picky Eating" and issues with food texture
Navigating a medical condition that impacts what you feel like you can eat
Body image, body neutrality, body positivity and the role our society plays in it
Disordered eating patterns (binge eating, restriction, etc)
Sneaky ways that diet culture shows up in our every day
Meal planning with low pressure and no diet rules
Navigating social and cultural food pressure and expectations

All of this is gibberish to me...

A Registered Dietitian is a registered health professional who has finished a 4-year science degree in nutrition and a 1-year internship in different settings, has passed the national exam for dietitians (CDRE), and has provided proof of continuing education each year. We register with a provincial body which is in place to protect the public by making sure dietitians are providing ethical and evidence based support.

Nutrition Counselling is not just looking at your food diary and coming up with a meal plan for you to follow. In nutrition counselling, the goal is to understand your own eating patterns and get personalized support to change or re-frame the things that don't contribute to your health and well-being.

Diet culture is a society-level belief system that values being thin over being healthy, and promotes weight loss and dieting as the way to reach a higher status. Even if we don't know it, diet culture has a huge influence over how we think about food, including labelling foods as 'good' or 'bad', shaming people who don't fit the thin 'ideal' body, and introducing unhealthy 'rules' around food.

A weight-inclusive approach is one that focuses on health (including mental, spiritual, physical, social..) and well-being regardless of weight and body size. This approach recognizes that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, naturally, and challenges the common (and outdated) idea that weight and body size is a good way to tell if someone is 'healthy'.

Mindful or Intuitive Eating focuses on learning to listen to your hunger and fullness cues in order to give your body the nourishment it needs.
