I have been practicing dietetics since 2005, working in various settings and helping clients with a variety of nutrition and health conditions.
Integrating knowledge and experience I have accumulated over 20+ years in the nutrition field, I am skilled in implementing a wide range of strategies, practices, and techniques from numerous nutrition counselling modalities, including:
- Intuitive eating
- Mindfulness
- Solution-focused coaching
- Cognitive behavioural coaching
- Food exposure therapy
- Motivational interviewing
- Family-based nutrition therapy for eating disorder recovery
- Internal family systems
- And others.
As a constant learner, I engage in ongoing professional development to sharpen my skills, learn new approaches, and stay up to date with current research, nutrition guidelines, best practices, and trends. You can find some of my professional development certificate below.
Using an eclectic approach and a unique skill set, I help client assess their current relationship to food, formulate goals, recognize factors that have formed and impacted their eating habits and body image, and find ways to optimize them.
Here are some of the principles that guide my practice:
- I see my role in working with clients in coaching and facilitating the process of developing a kind and compassionate relationship with themselves through self-nurturing, balanced eating, establishing a flexible approach to food and cultivating body neutrality
- Instead of seeing food as either “good” and “bad”, I help clients learn to recognize their body’s needs and meet those needs in the most accessible and supportive ways
- I don’t impose or criticize what individuals I work with should do or believe. Rather, I help clients explore their goals and desired outcomes and plan realistic ways to achieve them, offering guidance and support along the way as they work on changing eating mindset, relationship with food, and lifestyle habits.
- As a weight-inclusive practitioner, I help shift the focus away from the number on the scale towards building sustainable health promoting behaviours
- In working with families with children, I don’t attempt to “fix” the child by turning picky eaters into perfect eaters, nor do I put children on diets. Instead, I teach parents how to foster healthy habits, natural curiosity about food, a positive relationship to eating, healthy self-esteem, and reduce the risk of disordered eating by optimizing family feeding environment and dynamics.
Beside enjoying helping clients, my other passions include spending time with family and friends, cuddling with my pets, traveling, attending events and exploring new places. I’m also passionate about yoga, ice skating, hiking, reading, crafting, and cooking.
