I think it is time to re-introduce myself on social media and share a little about myself. First off thanks for following! Here are a few things to help you get to know me a little better:
- I was born and raised in the small town of Pembroke Ontario- following which I went to The University of Western Ontario and completed my undergraduate degree in Health Sciences, after that, I went on to study Nutrition at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto and became a Certified Nutritional Practitioner
- My husband Adam was a professional hockey player up until last year. We have lived all over the world, many different states including: Florida, California, New York, Ohio, and North Carolina. For his last two season’s we went oversea’s and lived in Germany and Scotland. We loved travelling and how every year was a new adventure but we are excited to be settled back into the Ottawa Valley!
- While we travelled I worked online building Nutrition protocols for clients and working to help people worldwide and share my nutrition knowledge.
- I currently still practice online but since moving back home to the Ottawa Valley I have expanded my services from not only working online but also in person, I have office hours at a local gym in Ottawa. I also teach 3 classes at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. On top of that, I am currently doing Nutrition Speaking engagements and I am developing nutrition programs for various businesses.
- I have an AMAZING family who I spend all my free time with.
- My husband and I have a golden retriever Ralph who has been all over the world with us. I am seriously obsessed with him!! He loves the outdoors as much as we do so you can always find us hiking, boating, at the beach, or snowshoeing. Pretty much any outdoor activity!
- Fitness is another huge passion of mine. I am a Personal Training Specialist and love sweating! I think nutrition and fitness go hand and hand when striving for your optimal health and I practice this belief daily! My motto is you can’t outwork a bad diet!
- I frequently get asked what my nutrition philosophy is- I believe that no two people are alike, this being said I certainly do not use a one size fits all approach when it comes to nutrition. I enjoy diving deep into peoples health and nutrition history to get to the root cause of what is going on and work with the individual to help them thrive. I don’t believe there is one “miracle” diet out there. I am here to work with you to find out specifically what works for you!!
If you are ever wanting to learn more about me, my business or nutrition just ask!! I now offer a free 15-minute intro phone call to answer any questions about health and wellness! I look forward to getting to know you all better! 🙂
In health,
