RD B.Sc. Hons. Dip.Ther. Diet

"Poor eating habits affect our energy, productivity and morale. Today 47% of Canadians are overweight and the number continues to rise. Increased weight increases our risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke, leading to increased sick time. Statistics show that most people want to eat well and manage their weight but are confused by mixed messages and diets that don’t work.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way.

As one of Canada’s leading nutrition experts my personal mission is to motivate, educate and coach people to eat well and manage their weight - even when life gets in the way of their best intentions!

The key is to provide them with advice that is practical, user friendly and easy to apply in their busy day.

I have coached literally thousands of clients to lose weight the healthy way and improve their health profile. As many of my clients say: “It’s so easy. I just wish I’d known about this before!”
