Verified registered dietitian. Our team has personally checked the credentials of this dietitian.
Helpful Nutrition & Health Navigation was launched to help those needing practical diet advice and support navigating the complex health system.
Specializing in nutrition for seniors and adults with special diet needs for over 14 years, I help clients, and their family members, to learn the facts about nutrition with practical advice and personalized diet recommendations.
Specializations:
Mental Health: I help those with depression, anxiety, and other mental health diagnoses eat well to support brain health and manage any associated health issues such as diabetes or medication related weight changes.
Neurodivergence: I help neurodivergent individuals to maximize nutrition for brain health with creative, simple, solutions that consider your diagnosis and unique situation.
Healthy Aging: I help seniors of all ages to stay strong and independent in their own home with easy-to-follow diet advice. I help clients access meal, grocery, and other health and community services. I also offer experienced advice on navigating aging in place, funding for seniors, home care, housing, and navigating the health care system with success.
Nutrition for Chronic Disease: I help those with chronic disease diagnosis to follow special diets without over restricting intake. Having one or more diagnosis such as: Parkinsons, MS, Cancer, COPD, Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Hypertension, Heart, Kidney, or Bowel Disease can make eating complicated! Get the facts on what you should and should not be eating so you can maximize health and minimize stress.
Caregiver Support: I offer guidance and assistance to caregivers looking after their spouses, aging parents, neurodiverse kiddos, adult dependent children, or other loved ones. Meals can be simplified to make life easier. Foods can be adjusted to treat diet related health issues. Health, social, and funding options can be explored to support you and your loved one.
Home Care: I offer home visits in the Edmonton area for all clients, including seniors, those with mental health diagnosis, kids and youth, and families. I also visit those living in supportive care homes and group homes.
Menu approval: I provide menu review such as required for the continuing care health service standards.
Menu development: I develop menus for individuals, families, care homes, and group homes to meet Canadas Food Guide and any special diet needs. I have a practical approach and always keep budget in mind.
I offer sliding scale fees and direct bill most major providers.
Please reach out with any questions you may have. I would be happy to help!
Did you know that 80% of private health care plans include Registered Dietitian & Registered Nutritionist Coverage? I direct bill Alberta Blue Cross, Green Shield, Telus e-claims (Canada life, Equitable life, Industrial Alliance & more). I am unable to direct bill Sunlife and Manulife. Clients must submit their own receipts for these companies. Payment is accepted via credit card, e-transfer, or cheque and all receipts are tax deductible. I offer a reduced rate for those on fixed incomes. Please let me know if cost is a barrier, I can help.
