Meal Plan Nutritionists and Dietitians in Gatineau, QC
Hi, I’m Shawna – Registered Dietitian & Eating Disorder Specialist
I believe in the healing power of food—but not just as fuel. Food holds stories, emotions, connection, and care. And when those relationships become tangled, I’ve seen how deeply painful it can be—for individuals and the people who love them.
I believe that healing happens in relationship—not in perfection. That’s why my approach is rooted in client-centered care —where your values, experiences, and voice are not only welcomed, but central to everything we do together.

I help individuals seeking practical, evidence-based nutrition guidance that truly fits their real lives. Often including those navigating weight-related stress, disordered eating patterns, digestive challenges like IBS, chronic conditions such as PCOS or diabetes, fertility concerns, and the profound impact of mental health - including ADHD, anxiety, or depression on their eating habits. Many come to my Montreal practice feeling overwhelmed by conflicting diet advice, restrictive trends, or past approaches that haven't lasted, yearning instead for sustainable, non-diet, weight-inclusive strategies.

Meal Plan Nutritionists and Dietitians
What does menu planning involve?
Menu planning is a strategy used by many dietitians to help clients map out their intake for future meals, often with the goal of improving the quality of the client's diet and/or meeting certain nutritional requirements. Depending on the needs of the client, dietitians may prescribe specific foods for clients or suggest serving suggestions for foods, such as encouraging clients to consume a designated amount of protein or vegetables.
How can a dietitian help with menu planning?
A dietitian can help with menu planning by developing a tailored food plan that aligns with a client’s nutritional preferences and goals. The process typically starts with a nutritional assessment to determine the client’s baseline needs based on factors such as age, activity level, and medical conditions. This assessment is particularly useful for clients who are new to tracking their nutrient intake. Dietitians also provide guidance on portion control and optimizing nutrient intake to ensure a balanced diet. Additionally, if the dietitian specializes in a specific area, such as vegetarian diets or nutrition for athletes, they can offer expert advice to create menus that meet those particular needs while maintaining variety and overall nutritional balance.
Who can benefit from menu planning?
Many people can benefit from planning, as it can be both a time-saving and money-saving option that can also promote physical health. When meals are planned out ahead of time, individuals may be less likely to consume unhealthy alternatives or default to getting takeout food, which may be high in calories and sodium. Individuals with specific diet-related chronic conditions may particularly benefit from menu planning for accountability purposes and to ensure that their diet is supportive of their nutrition-related health goals, such as hypertension management or blood sugar regulation.
