Clinical Nutrition

The foods we eat have a powerful impact on both physical and emotional well-being. I integrate clinical nutrition into care plans to help you feel stronger, clearer, and more balanced—while honouring your unique relationship with food and your body.

My approach to nutrition is compassionate and non-judgmental. I understand that food can be a sensitive topic, especially if you’ve experienced guilt, frustration, or shame around eating. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, with small, realistic steps that build confidence and lasting change.

A Whole-Person Approach

Clinical nutrition involves the therapeutic use of food and nutrients to support the body’s natural healing processes. By understanding how specific foods, deficiencies, and dietary patterns affect your health, we can make meaningful adjustments that promote vitality and long-term wellness.

As a Naturopathic Doctor trained in behavioural psychotherapy, I also address the emotional and behavioural aspects of eating—including habits, cravings, and self-compassion. Together, we’ll explore not only what you eat, but why and how, supporting a more balanced and peaceful relationship with food.

Areas of Focus

Mental Health and Brain Function
Nutrition plays an important role in mood, cognition, and emotional balance. Following a balanced diet, such as a Mediterranean-style diet, can support brain health and resilience, helping to enhance emotional stability, and overall mental well-being. I can also prescribe evidence-based nutritional supplements to help support the treatment of anxiety and depression.

Women’s Health and Life Stages
Nutritional support is key through all stages of women’s health—from menstrual wellness, fertility and pregnancy to perimenopause and menopause. We can use nutrition to help balance hormones, stabilize energy and mood, and promote bone and cardiovascular health.

Digestive Health
Your digestive system plays a key role in your day-to-day well-being. Together, we can identify and address nutritional factors that may contribute to bloating, discomfort, or fatigue, while supporting a healthy balance in your gut. Individualized strategies—such as a low-FODMAP diet—can help restore comfort and optimize digestion.

Metabolic and Hormonal Health
Nutrition plays a central role in supporting metabolic and hormonal health, including conditions such as insulin resistance, PCOS, and Type 2 diabetes. Evidence-based dietary approaches can help balance blood sugar, regulate hormones, and support healthy weight, body composition, and sustainable energy levels—without rigidity or deprivation. I also integrate psychotherapeutic strategies from behavioral medicine to explore how and why we eat, helping you develop a mindful, balanced relationship with food that works for your life.

Anti-Inflammatory and Preventive Nutrition
Chronic inflammation underlies many health concerns. Emphasizing anti-inflammatory foods and nutrients—such as omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and phytonutrients—can help reduce inflammation, improve vitality, and support long-term wellness.

Working Together

Nutrition isn’t about perfection or restriction—it’s about understanding your body and learning how to nourish it in a way that feels sustainable and kind. Whether your goal is to support a specific condition, increase energy, or build a healthier relationship with food, we’ll create a therapeutic plan that meets you where you are.
