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.

Do you feel stuck in cycles of dieting, food rules, or ongoing anxiety and guilt around eating? You may find yourself preoccupied with what, when, or how much to eat, alternating between restriction and feeling out of control. Eating might feel stressful, confusing, or something you have to constantly manage rather than something your body can guide naturally. Many clients want to step away from this cycle—to feel more at ease with food, more connected to their body, and more confident in their eating without relying on rigid rules or constant willpower.

Treatment typically involves mental health informed nutrition counselling, Emotional Brain Training for binge/emotional eating, Macronutrient Mood Therapy for anxiety and depression, as well as mindful eating tools for intuitive eating.
Anxious, depressed, or feeling like your energy and emotions are all over the place? Is food a source of comfort when feeling stressed, bored or overwhelmed? Maybe you are caught in a binge-restrict cycle, resulting in constant food noise and a strained relationship with food, body image, and weight. If so, you are not alone. With the right strategies that account for your unique neurophysiology, it’s possible to be in control of your mental and physical health and feel like the best version of yourself. Empowerment starts by working with your mind, not against it.

Nutrition Counselling Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is nutrition counselling?
Nutrition counselling refers to the services provided by a Registered Dietitian (RD) that focus on diet and nutrition. Individuals often seek nutrition counselling to make diet-related lifestyle changes, especially after being diagnosed with chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. However, nutrition counselling is not limited to these cases, and it can often benefit anyone looking to improve their overall health. Nutrition counsellors also often address other aspects of a healthy lifestyle within sessions, such as advising on physical activity, chronic disease management, and mental health. They provide guidance and motivation, often adopting a holistic approach to support clients in achieving their health and wellbeing goals.

Who should see a nutrition counsellor?
Many people can benefit from seeing a nutrition counsellor; however, individuals with (or at risk of developing) chronic medical conditions or who have specific dietary challenges (for example, IBS, Crohn's disease, etc.) may find a nutrition counsellor particularly helpful. Nutrition counsellors are specifically trained to use diet modifications to manage health, so consulting a dietitian if you have a chronic condition can be greatly beneficial. Nutrition professionals can help clients understand how their diet impacts their symptoms and suggest strategies to improve overall health. Additionally, dietitians can coordinate with other medical professionals, such as primary care physicians or specialty physicians, to help support the client's overall health.

What happens during a nutrition counselling session?
Nutrition counselling is fundamentally focused on a client's individual health goals. The initial session with a nutrition professional typically involves an evaluation, during which the dietitian seeks to understand the client's reasons for seeking nutrition counselling. This session typically includes discussing the client's health history, current eating habits, lifestyle, and specific nutrition counselling goals. In follow-up sessions, the client and dietitian will typically review progress toward these goals, and the dietitian may examine the client's food intake and suggest areas for improvement. They may also educate the client on diet-related topics, such as ensuring adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables or reducing sodium intake. Additionally, nutrition counsellors can help clients stay accountable for other lifestyle changes that support overall health, such as regular exercise, smoking cessation, or moderating alcohol consumption.

What should I look for in a nutrition counsellor?
Clients seek nutritional support from dietitians and nutritionists for various reasons, ranging from managing medical conditions to addressing lifestyle concerns like weight loss or specific dietary requirements. When looking for a nutrition counsellor, it is essential to find someone with expertise in the area of nutrition relevant to your needs. Consider factors such as insurance coverage, specific medical or dietary concerns, and the availability of professionals in your area to determine the best fit. Generally, nutritionists are not covered by insurance, whereas Registered Dietitians (RDs) often are, making it important to look for a professional with RD credentials. If you have a chronic medical condition like cancer or kidney disease, you may be interested in seeking out an RD with specialised expertise, such as a Board Certified Specialist in Oncology Nutrition (CSO) or a Board Certified Specialist in Renal Nutrition (CSR), as these credentials indicate advanced education and a commitment to ongoing learning within a specific area.
