Through a science-based, root-cause approach, I develop personalized nutrition strategies that target the underlying factors contributing to their issues, so they can regain control of their health and well-being.
​
With over 15 years of experience in clinical research and public-sector health programs, I’ve worked on a range of chronic conditions including Alzheimer’s, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and metabolic disorders. My academic background includes:
-
Registered Holistic Nutritionist - Canadian School of Natural Nutrition
-
Master’s in Biochemistry
-
Master's in Business Administration - with focus in Health Innovation
-
Bachelor’s in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology
​
My path to nutrition started with personal experience. Like many people, I was looking for real, lasting solutions to improve my health. Once I saw how much of a difference the right food and lifestyle changes could make, I knew I wanted to help others experience the same transformation. That’s what drives the work I do today.
How I Can Help You
No fad diets. No calorie counting. Just real strategies that get to the root of your health concerns.
​
I help clients overcome issues like bloating, fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalances, and inflammation through personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance. My approach focuses on identifying what’s really going on in your body, then creating a plan that helps you feel your best, inside and out.
​
Through detailed assessments, food-based protocols, and continuous support, I guide you in restoring balance and building long-term vitality.
Restore Your Gut & Digestion
I use targeted protocols like GAPS, anti-inflammatory plans, and microbiome support to reduce bloating, relieve digestive discomfort, and support regularity. Many clients notice major improvements within just a few weeks.
Boost Metabolism & Energy
Together, we work on stabilizing blood sugar, improving your body's ability to use energy efficiently, and supporting your metabolism—without relying on extreme diets or quick fixes. You’ll experience fewer crashes, clearer thinking, and more stamina throughout the day.
Reduce Inflammation & Detox Naturally
I provide safe, practical tools to lower chronic inflammation and support your body’s natural detox systems. These food-first strategies are designed to help your body clear out what it doesn’t need—while building resilience and reducing everyday stressors.
Who I Work With
I’ve worked with a wide range of clients facing complex, long-standing health challenges that conventional approaches haven’t resolved. Some examples include:
​
-
Clients who are overweight or obese and looking for sustainable weight loss
-
Women dealing with hormone imbalance, joint pain, and midlife weight gain
-
Men and women with digestive issues like IBS, bloating, or candida overgrowth
-
Professionals facing burnout, poor sleep, and blood sugar crashes
-
Adults with underactive thyroid or adrenal fatigue
-
Clients wanting to adopt a keto or low-carb lifestyle for metabolic and cognitive health
In addition to providing personalized nutrition plans, my role is to educate and coach you through the process. I believe in empowering you with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your health and well-being. Together, we'll implement your plan, make adjustments as needed, and I’ll help you understand how the changes you make will support your long-term wellness. My goal is to help you build the confidence and skills to maintain lasting results and live your healthiest life.
