About Me
I am a full-time Registered Dietitian (RD) with a post-graduate degree in Human Nutrition. I have been in private practice in Coquitlam, British Columbia since 2008, and have provided virtual services for over a decade to those living locally, and in other areas of the country.
I am licensed in several provinces, and my areas of expertise range from the routine, to the clinically complex. I recently resumed using my maiden name and I have updated my registration with the Colleges in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, but built my practice as Joy Kiddie.
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©.
