Affectionately known as the ‘Sporty Nutrition Gal’, I learned about the nutrition-wellbeing connection at the age of 5. My earliest memories are of my Uncle who encouraged me to eat well so I could perform better at sports.
I do have several degrees, which as mentioned on my homepage, are only pieces of paper and they do not define me as a person. My passion truly is to help everyone, to empower you to believe in yourself and your miraculous body. Are you experiencing ailments or dealing with symptoms of dis-ease, or do you want to improve your health to prevent future issues?
Perhaps you are an athlete that wants to improve their diet, which in turn will improve your outcomes or game? Then I am the gal for you, with proven success. “Diet cannot make an average athlete elite, but improper diet can make an elite athlete average”
In 2003, I experienced my own health issue. After 14 months of testing, specialist appointments and one unnecessary surgery I decided to take on my own natural approach. Within 2 weeks of starting a natural regime my health started to slowly improve, I was focused and determined to return back to my healthy state. I knew it would take work but I also wanted to heal and I believed I could! I was guided in the proper direction by my then chiropractor, Dr. Bill Gilmore, whom I consider an Angel in my life. Throughout my daily struggles I never lost hope. I actually continued to enlighten and inspire many people along the way. I know my body and I know its function is to adapt, survive, regenerate, repair and thrive. I must provide what it needs for this to happen though.
I have been a die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan since the age of 6 (yes its tough, big wink) and I will always ‘bleed blue.’ I took my love for the game and in 1994 began coaching. I advanced through various coaching levels and continued to coach until 2005. After coaching I attended Numerous ‘Under 18’ camps through the OWHA (Ontario Women’s Hockey Association) as an evaluator/scout for the selection process of players at the International level. Many went on to play for Team Canada. I truly loved participating in this process.
My accomplishments include: being featured in the Newspaper numerous times, as a sponsor ‘Make a Wish’ silent auction, articles for Fair Parenting Group, articles for Dufferin Total Sports Magazine, and the Nutritionist for a Corporate Biggest Loser Challenge with Concept Controls Inc. I am planning to participate in podcasts, zoom calls and videos in the very near future also.
My current knowledge and proven success in teaching to believe in yourself and your body will lead you to an energetic, vibrant, thriving life. My process and techniques are what others say make me an expert in my fields of study.
I reside in Ontario, Canada and have very close family ties. Having an intense desire to learn everyday and staying abreast of timely information in nutrition, health, and holistic disciplines is how my moments are spent. I also learn from my clients …we all have so much to learn.
I believe in lasting results by empowering clients to help realize their full potential through eating better, making lifestyle changes etc. If you do the work, want to heal and believe you can heal then I will set you up for success so you don’t have to keep having appointments with me.
Your health is not an expense, its an investment!
