About

After over 25 years of working with clients on healthy eating and sport nutrition, i’ve expanded my focus to include several unique elements: mindfulness, self-compassion, body awareness and getting to know the parts of you that impact your eating. I am an IFS Informed Dietitian. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a model in psychology that helps us understand thought patterns and emotions that may be getting in the way of reaching our goals.

Whether you are looking to feel better in your body, get the most out of your workouts or simply looking to support optimal health (disease prevention, menopause, healthy aging…) my approach is centered around honouring our bodies, our thoughts and our emotions… rather than simply following a set of “Healthy Eating Rules”.   This approach of better understanding body signals and your relationship to food is sometimes called “Intuitive Eating” or “Mindful Eating” or in the IFS world, it’s called “SELF led eating”.  Whatever you call it, the end result is to feel energized, to enjoy your food and to be at peace with the thoughts and emotions around food and your body.
