About Me
I am a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) with a post-graduate degree in Human Nutrition, and my published research is in the area of mental health nutrition. I have been in private practice in Coquitlam, British Columbia, since 2008, and have provided virtual services for over a decade to those in other areas of the country.
I am licensed in several provinces, and my areas of expertise range from routine to clinically complex cases.
I am passionate about helping people feel better and to restore their health, and believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but that Nutrition is BetterByDesign©.
