My Story
Ever since I was a teenager I have been passionate about health and fitness. In high school I was constantly immersed in health and nutrition related books, was an avid soccer and basketball player, and my dream job was that of a health coach. This prompted me to complete a Bachelor degree in Human Kinetics (Kinesiology) at the University of British Columbia in 2002. One thing lead to another, and I ended up going on to do a Master degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Alberta. For the past 13 years I have been working as an Occupational Therapist (OT) with individuals with musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, depression, anxiety and PTSD. Although I enjoy working as an OT, my desire to help others optimize their health and wellness through nutrition and lifestyle changes has never ceased. I started a holistic health and wellness blog in 2018, and in 2020 I made the decision to finally pursue my passion by completing an advanced diploma in holistic nutrition, becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and starting the business I dreamed of having back when I was a teenager.
With a strong belief in the power of nutrition, I strive to liberate my clients from the clutches of diet culture and promote sustainable habits that foster a healthier relationship with food, positive body image, and mental wellness. My unique blend of expertise as an Occupational Therapist and Holistic Nutritionist allows me to offer a comprehensive and compassionate approach to my clients' well-being. I can not wait to help you on your health and wellness journey and show you just how good your body is designed to feel.
