I have always been fascinated by the way that the human body and mind work. I grew up surrounded by adults who were constantly at war with their bodies and food and I was sure that there must be a better way to live. During my education in nutrition and dietetics, I was introduced to the principles of Intuitive Eating. This completely changed my life and the way that I related to food. Becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and then seeking specialization as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor has provided me with the rewarding opportunity to help others alleviate suffering and improve their health and relationships with food.

As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, it has been my mission to help patients make peace with food and their bodies. I take time to listen to each individual’s story, background, and concerns, tailoring a plan specific to their needs and their here-and-now lives. Progress never happens in one straight line, and I will never judge patients and will seek to understand barriers and complications they may face. My experiences personally and professionally have helped me to have more empathy and understanding as we each search for personalized solutions.

In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family, pets, and getting out into nature when I can. I love to be active as well as lounging around with a good puzzle or a ball of yarn, a mug of hot cocoa, and a nature documentary.
