Food as Medicine Vegan Vegetarian nutrition Peterborough

I am so excited to begin this journey working towards becoming a Holistic Nutritionist.

I spent my childhood largely unaware of the impact that my food choices had upon my health… And then it caught up with me. For the past 12 years I have been immersed in the holistic health realm (from seeing naturopaths, to herbalists and osteopaths) trying to manage my largely unresolved chronic health issues. Throughout the past 12 years I have noticed the significant impact that nutrition (along with exercise and an overall healthy lifestyle) has upon my health, wellness and wellbeing. I have been discovering various foods that trigger my health issues and am constantly experimenting with different ways of eating to manage my concerns; from vegetarianism, eating for blood type, going low FODMAP, low histamine, to gluten-free and vegan, I have embraced trying anything.

While eager to learn more about how to manage my own health concerns through food, I am more excited to help others begin to navigate their own way through nutrition and lifestyle choices. I know how overwhelming it can be, trying to manage this on your own, so I look forward to being a great support for others embarking on this journey!
