I can help with:

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

Chronic Dieting

You've tried different diets and are tired of feeling guilty, stressed, or frustrated about food and eating.

We can talk about the impacts of dieting, and how you can escape the cycle by eating well for your health without focusing on your weight.

Youth, Teens & Families

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

You are a parent who wants to help with feeding their kids/teens to set them up for a healthy relationship with food.

Food Discovery

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

We can chat about food groups, fiber, brainstorm lunch ideas, or find ways to make dinner more enjoyable.

Disordered Eating

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

We can talk about ways to restore nutrition, find flexibility, and lessen the space and time that food takes up in your brain.

Chaotic Eating & Appetite

You "emotionally eat", eat inconsistently, have a limited diet, feel 'out of control' around food, or struggle to find space to make food choices that feel good.

We can talk about why this is happens, how appetite works, and brainstorm ways to find balance and consistency in the chaos!

Medical Conditions

You have a medical condition that impacts your eating, and you'd like to learn more about how to manage it. This includes:

Diabetes

High blood pressure

High blood cholesterol

Constipation

Iron deficiency

Gut issues

Even if you don't neatly fit into one of these groups, or if you just want a one-time appointment to learn some basic nutrition, 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
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

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.
