My Nutritional Beginnings 

Health and nutrition have always been a love of mine! It began as early as I can remember with a Mom who valued alternative medicine and nutrition. Throughout high school I made all the diet mistakes one could make. I over exercised, under ate, tried various diets, and landed on a very strict vegan diet with little guidance. Ultimately all of this made me feel generally unwell, experience hair loss, regular exhaustion, and what I now recognize to be dysregulated blood sugar levels. Thankfully, I still carried a passion for health and fitness which lead me to the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. Here I studied nutrition from qualified professionals, and I realized just how much learning I still had to do in regards to nutrition. Along with many other topics, I learned the importance of individuality in nutrition, studied fad diets, and learned how to instill the fundamentals of a plant-based diet correctly. With my new found education I was able to reverse the self-inflicted health damage I had done by jumping into harsh and strict diets blindly. It was a beautiful feeling to finally be able to experience the true health I had been searching for!

 

I graduated from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition with honours in 2020. Since then, I have been working with various clients to wade through an overwhelming sea of online nutrition advice given from so called “professionals” and instill the science-based fundamentals of good nutrition that improved my life dramatically. I still value plants as the basis of a healthy diet, only now I help others to avoid the mistakes I made when introducing a more plant-based approach to their own diets. Further, l teach others practical lifestyle and nutrition habits that will help regulate blood sugar and improve health concerns such as weight gain, brain fog, low energy, and food cravings.

 

If you feel weighed down by conflicting nutrition advice, do not know how to make a plant-based approach work for you, or are experiencing blood sugar dysregulation, I would love to work with you! Although plant-based eating and blood sugar balance are my specialties, my practice of individuality allows me to take on all clients with various health concerns and goals.
