What this service does

Nutrition can play an important role in preventing and managing various health conditions.  Food however also serves many purposes beyond fueling our body and supporting our health.  Food can be a part of cultural traditions, celebrations and socializing.  Food is meant to be enjoyed.  Part of eating for wellbeing includes having a positive relationship with food where you can enjoy a wide variety of foods each day.

How this service works

The Registered Dietitian works with you to find the balance of foods that make your body feel good and please your taste buds.  We also know that factors beyond nutrition (e.g. cost, convenience) influence our food choices.  Our goal is to help you identify small, realistic steps to meet your nutrition goals based on your individual needs.

Our Registered Dietitian offers both individual and group sessions to help clients make informed decisions about nutrition and lifestyle choices.
