FAQ's

WHY DO I NEED A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST AS OPPOSED TO A DIETICIAN?

A holistic nutritionist uses whole food as a tool for healing and can help you develop a nutrition strategy & meal plan that addresses your personal nutrient requirements and health goals.  I have spent years studying, researching & taste-testing the most nutrient-dense foods and recipes to deliver you with whole-food solutions that are practical, delicious & family friendly.   

My initial consult is 90 minutes long (& sometimes longer) because I spend a lot of time asking questions and really listening to you, your concerns and what you want to achieve.  My recommendations and the personalized programme I put together for you comprise diet, supplementation and lifestyle so that your results are meaningful and sustainable.

I am not a dietician.  I do not follow the standard food pyramid.  I believe that everyone is biochemically unique and that we each have our own special nutrient requirements.  My job is to help you uncover what those are so that you can thrive and be all that you can be.

WHERE DID YOU EARN YOUR NUTRITION DEGREE?

I studied with the Edison Institute of Nutrition (Canada), an accredited institution with the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners and the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants, as well as other professional organizations.  I obtained a Diploma in Holistic Nutrition (First Class Honours).  In order to keep abreast of the latest scientific developments in nutrition, I continue my education with various trainings and courses throughout the year intended for professionals in the nutrition industry.  

DO YOU HAVE AN OFFICE?

No. I consult virtually through zoom.  

WHAT IF I NEED BLOOD TESTS?

I am not a doctor or a naturopathic doctor.  I do not diagnose or treat disease and I do not have a license to draw blood or physically take fluid or bodily for analysis.  If medical testing is required, then usually, I will refer you to your doctor for these so that you can get them covered by insurance.  

I SEE YOU WORK ON THE BASIS OF A PACKAGE BUT WHAT IF ALL I NEED IS SOME GENERAL ADVICE?

I totally get that.  Book yourself in for a free 15min consult. Happy to give you some general advice there.

HOW DO I PAY FOR YOUR SERVICES?

By e-transfer.  I will send you an invoice after our first appointment.  Payment is due same day.
