In 2011 I was diagnosed with IBS. After years of trying to identify trigger foods and taking way more antacids than is good for anyone, I figured out it was anxiety that was causing my digestive system so much turmoil. Who knew! No one told me that my anxiety and general emotional state could affect my digestive health so profoundly.

Now, as a Registered Dietitian, I combine my personal experience with my professional expertise into a private practice I am passionate about. Using a holistic approach, I look at my client’s overall wellness instead of focusing solely on their illness, symptoms or condition. I believe in client-centered care that respects the client’s autonomy in their health and wellness. I respect bodies of all shapes and sizes and work with a weight neutral, Health at Every Size, approach. If these words make you feel right at home we may be a great fit.

Now that I am working with Warman Physiotherapy & Wellness, I am able to see patients in person. Working in a clinic with like-minded practitioners has been my dream for a long time and I am happy to say I am living it now.

What is Holism?

Holism refers to looking at a person as a whole instead of a diagnosed condition or a handful of symptoms to improve their overall wellness. You may have IBS, celiac, Crohn’s disease, or constipation, bloating, or acid reflux and what we eat can lead to improvement. So, why bother with looking beyond diet? Physical health is only one part of our health.

My approach takes emotional, mental, as well as physical health into account. Although diet is still our focus, our gut is highly influenced by our brains and vice versa. This means anxiety, our relationship with food, body dissatisfaction, poor sleep, lack of joyful movement, and our emotional state can cause our digestive health to suffer.

The reverse is also true, our impaired digestive health can cause our emotional, physical, and mental health to suffer creating a vicious cycle. I can help you break this cycle, or prevent it from starting. Book a consaultation call with me today. I can’t wait to work with you.
