I am a dietitian that is passionate about pediatric nutrition! I have experience working with children that struggle with picky eating habits, sensory feeding issues (e.g. gagging, food phobias), special needs, as well as oral motor skill limitations. I enjoy working with children of all ages and have a special area of interest in children with autism, ADHD, and weight management concerns. I take a non-diet approach that focuses on nourishing the body and building a lifelong, healthy relationship with food.

Welcome to my page! Through education, counselling, skill development, and goal setting, I empower you to make and maintain lifelong dietary changes that will help you live your healthiest and happiest life. I believe that ALL foods fit into a healthy, balanced lifestyle and that food serves many purposes beyond basic nourishment. My approach is evidence-based and practical; not unrealistic and restrictive. I would love the opportunity to embark on your health journey with you, and look forward to supporting you along every step of the way!

I help clients find their food freedom, specializing in an approach that is free of diet culture. I have a wealth of knowledge of cultural foods, especially Indian cuisines. As a result I am able to successfully interact with clients of various cultural backgrounds. I work with my clients to develop intuitive eating habits and mindful practices, while addressing health needs. Managing health choices also requires evidence-based information and guidance. I also learn extensively from the clients, their perspective, which allows me to create individual care plans for each client that I meet.

I have been a dietitian for over 30 years and have provided nutritional counselling for various medical conditions in a hospital setting and in private practice. I strongly feel that weight management is an important health issue as it can prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. It is never too late to change your food habits. Fad diets may help you lose weight initially but they are not sustainable longterm. I will guide you to follow easy and practical meal plans to achieve a healthy weight without 'chronic dieting'. Make 'healthy weight' your goal for 2024.

My goal is to provide a holistic, evidence-based, and personalized nutrition service that enhances mind-body-esteem connections. I made my mission to find solutions for those facing nutrition-medical-body-lifestyle challenges, aiming to bring greater ease to your eating habits, health, and lifestyle.

What is the definition of ‘health’? A question I have often asked myself over the years. Health has always been at the forefront of my life ever since I was a young child. Fascinated by our bodies and how they interact with our environments and the foods we eat. The power of science and nutrition captivated me at a young age, but I never thought I would pursue a career related to either. I have always felt a great sense of reward and fulfilment when working with children and youth. I began to realize their phenomenal potential as young human beings in society.

As a Registered Dietitian specializing in sports nutrition and eating disorders, my approach is to optimize athletic performance, address disordered eating behaviors, and support individuals in achieving their goals, all while using intuitive and mindful eating approaches. Coming from a multicultural background and being an immigrant to Canada, I bring a unique perspective that recognizes and respects various dietary practices and cultural food traditions. Having gone through my own personal health journey, I vividly remember the first time I saw a registered dietitian myself and left feeling unheard.

Worried your child is not getting the nutrition they need for growth? Stressed about mealtime meltdowns? Trying to figure out what foods are causing pain, bloating, loose stools? Is your baby refusing to eat solids? Looking for ways to make eating enjoyable for your child, to build positive food interaction , to have them grow consistently ?

As a Registered Dietitian I help my clients achieve a healthier lifestyle. My ideal client wants increased energy, weight loss without deprivation, less medication, improved blood cholesterol, balanced blood sugars, reduced stress levels, increased physical activity and feelings of well-being. She may have been on numerous diets and struggling with work/life balance. She has discovered that restrictive diets simply don't work. She is ready to embark on a healthy lifestyle approach. Best results with a 3 mo, 6 mo and 12 month health coaching plan.

I will help translate the science of nutrition into practical and individualized advice. I practice a non-judgmental, non-diet approach to health, and encourage the development of sustainable habits that can last a lifetime. I take the time to get to know you as a whole person, understanding what is most important to you and meeting you where you are at to help ensure success. I whole-heartedly believe that all foods can fit in a healthy lifestyle and want people to feel their absolute best in their own skin!

If you're a busy mom who is stuck trying to get your child to eat better, then you may be caught in the eating responsibility trap. If you're stuck here, I'm willing to bet that you have tried bribing your child to eat, or lost your cool and threatened them, or lost sleep over whether they are getting enough nutrition. This is happening likely because you feel the most responsible for how much they eat, and you're worried about things getting worse if you don't intervene. If this is you, don't worry. I have helped tons of parents overcome their child's nutrition struggles. Message me to see if you're someone I can help also.
