I graduated with First Class Honours from the Edison Institute of Nutrition in January 2021 and have since been managing a busy fitness and wellness centre in Ottawa, Ontario. I also see my own nutrition clients. I began my nutritional journey towards dietary health during high school when I found myself battling with asthma, mental health issues, IBS and chronic infections. Through mindful approaches, I healed my chronic ailments through diet and exercise changes, dramatically improving my quality of life and overall outlook on health.

Prior to beginning my Orthomolecular Health Science Program with the Edison Institute of Nutrition, I had a diverse background in athleticism. Throughout my life, I have competed in numerous team and individual sports, but my greatest achievement was competing at the Ontario Summer Games in the Women’s Triathlon.

I specialize in plant-based sports nutrition for athletes. I have been plant-based for 10+ years now, using my diet to propel my athletic abilities. With the education I obtained from the Edison Institute, I gained in-depth knowledge on how to eat plant-based and still obtain all the essential nutrients that our bodies need to not just properly function but thrive.

Through a decade of nutritional practice, I have learnt that you can’t eat one healthy food or take 1 pill and expect to be cured, in the same way that you can’t exercise one time and expect to be fit. I believe that health is a lifelong journey that is non-linear. Health is personal and completely unique for everyone who searches for it. This way we practice, adapt and change our health goals as we age. This is why Orthomolecular health is essential. Incorporating the science behind what we eat and the holistic approach to wellness through mind, body and soul.

I developed a love of gardening during childhood. My mother taught me about the soil-food correlation, which led me to build a community garden in 2016. The connection between the earth and how we feel is a direct correlation that I implement in my practice.
