Of all the jobs I dreamt of having, a nutritionist was not one of them. I was raised in a meat, potatoes, and canned corn kind of family that never saw many fresh veggies. However, I realized my passion for health through sickness. After a family member was diagnosed with an advanced cancer I dove into the world of integrative and alternative care.

I received my Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) training from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in 2013 and carry the Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner (NNCP) designation through the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners (CANNP). Additionally, I have attained the Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner (CHNP) designation through Edison Institute of Nutrition. I most recently studied under Dr Aviva Romm in the Women’s Integrative & Functional Medicine Professional Training Program. 

My clinical practice focuses on women's health, including hormone balancing, fertility, prenatal & postpartum care, menopausal support, and estrogen-related cancers, thyroid health, and is primarily conducted through one-on-one nutrition counselling. In August 2023, my business partner Rachel Mark and I opened Glow Integrative Clinic located in Victoria, BC.

Glow Integrative is a space dedicated to supporting women’s health across the lifespan. Our multidisciplinary practice offers acupuncture, counseling, naturopathic medicine, holistic nutrition and dietetics, massage therapy, and pelvic floor physiotherapy services. Our practitioners are passionate about fertility, prenatal and postpartum care, menopause, anxiety, PCOS, endometriosis, digestive health, and nervous system regulation. Glow Integrative is conveniently located in Oak Bay at 2280 Cadboro Bay Road.

I have been an instructor at Pacific Rim College since 2015 and teach numerous courses in their three year holistic nutrition diploma and in the doula and herbal certificate programs. 

My clinical background includes working as an online educator developing dietary programs for over 10,000 individuals with LULORA. Previously, I was a nutritionist and the Vancouver Island Clinical Director at InspireHealth, a supportive cancer care centre partially-funded by the BC Ministry of Health, from 2013-2019. I worked alongside medical doctors, clinical counsellors, kinesiologists, and a team of holistic nutritionists.
