You might be wondering what exactly a Holistic Nutritionist does and how I might be able to help you on your path to health. A Registered Holistic Nutritionist or R.H.N. educates individuals about the health benefits of natural nutrition. Holistic nutrition is a combination of modern science and time-tested wisdom based on the philosophy that each person has unique nutritional requirements. I typically evaluate my client’s nutritional needs by identifying symptoms that indicate health imbalances. I then provide individualized health plans, which include nutrient-dense whole foods, lifestyle recommendations, natural source herbs and/or supplements in order to help bring my client’s health back to a state of equilibrium.

An R.H.N. does not diagnose dis-ease, we simply provide information and support to address imbalances within the body and lifestyle to obtain optimal wellness. I work on an individual basis with my clients to optimize mental and physical health through diet and lifestyle. The connection between body, mind and spirit is an integral and important part of wellness. It is scientifically demonstrated that our state of mind and spiritual wellbeing affect our physical health. By assessing the whole person including their emotions, environment, nutrition, and daily habits, balance can be restored. Using clean, natural foods and products as well as practicing a life of moderation is central to this healing process. Our bodies want to be healthy, and they work very hard to maintain balance everyday. Unfortunately in today's society, we don’t always give our bodies what they need to do the job. Imbalance can occur from living and working in a toxic environment, dealing with a high stress lifestyle and from not eating enough nutrient dense foods. The happy side effect of providing your body with what it needs to function better, is that often chronic health conditions can greatly improve or even be eliminated altogether. 

In summary, Holistic Nutrition is a natural approach to health that uses evidence-based techniques for diet, lifestyle and detoxification. Instead of focusing on just one aspect of the person, or taking a one size fits all methodology, holistic nutrition evaluates the complete health history, emotional state, lifestyle habits and current diet habits of an individual to determine the root cause of his or her health issues. It is always advised for you to keep your personal medical team updated regarding any and all changes to your diet, activity level and lifestyle, especially if you are on medication or undergoing any type of treatments.

I graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition’s (CSNN) Natural Nutrition program. It is the most recognized and sought-after holistic nutrition program, with the most recognized professional designations in the industry. The program is also recognized by the Canadian Association of Holistic Nutrition Professionals (CAHN-Pro) and by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) in the United States. As you can see from the seal on my website and print material, I am a registered member in good standing with CSNN.

So lets find that inner glow of wellness that might not be shining as brightly as it once did. Even if you don’t suffer from an illness, prevention is very important and much easier than reversal once dis-ease of the body has begun. If you’re interested in learning more, or booking an appointment, please register through the menu tab above and you will be provided with your own personal login for the client member's area.
