Naturopathic Medicine & Holistic Nutrition

Naturopathic Medicine & Holistic Nutrition

In partnership with my Bachelor of Science from the University Of Toronto, I successfully completed a four year Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree in the United States, and a Masters In Holistic Nutrition, Natural Health Sciences. I now use my Naturopathy to guide female transformations and approach mental health from an Orthomolecular perspective, using nutrition & supplements to balance body & brain chemistry.

Counselling Psychology & Eating Psychology 

Why I use psychology in the fitness industry? And what is this new field of Eating Psychology?

I have a Masters in Counselling Psychology and many years of clinical experience specializing in Gender, Youth/ Parent Counselling, Anxiety, Chronic Pain/ Rehab, Life-Work Balance and Eating Psychology. My clinical background is in Psychology, stems from combining (CBT) Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Behavioural Modification, (SFBT) Solution Focused Brief Therapy

As a long time fitness professional and elite trainer, I discovered a “gap in the fitness industry” when it came to the long term success of clients in the gym. The “gap” that I am referring to is the “direct relationship between physiology and psychology-What the mind is thinking, experiencing and feeling, will have a direct impact on the results you are getting from your workouts, nutrition and your body.” 

Eating Psychology is a powerful tool and positive approach to use in collaboration with clients in transforming their relationship with food, eating challenges, chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, food obsessions, body image issues, over-exercise, trauma and many other life concerns..

“My goal is to have women find fullness in life, not in food.”
