                                              ABOUT ME  

After a career in sales and management in the advertising, publishing and food industries, I was looking for my next vocation and have found my next mission(s) in life!
 I have always been health conscious and enjoyed yoga, aerobics, cycling and hiking.  I became a certified RYT200 yoga instructor in 2012 - MISSION #1.  Since then I have taught yoga year round, including the popular "Yoga on the Beach" outdoors during July and August, on our beautiful Qualicum Beach and Parksville waterfront areas.  Then I discovered the field of Holistic Nutrition,  and my interest in food, health, and fitness all came together and I found MISSION #2, studying full-time for 2 years to attain my Diploma as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.
 
My Training as a REGISTERED HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST:


Mainstream medicine does not emphasize the significance of poor nutrition as a major cause of a wide range of health disorders.  Holistic nutritionists are trained to guide clients through the maze of information from books, magazines, supplements, and diet.  I work with clients to identify and help correct nutritional causes of diseases, and am qualified to design personalized diet and lifestyle programs that optimize health.  I value each individual’s unique experiences and preferences when recommending programs and recognize the need to work co-operatively with other disciplines, holistic and mainstream, to best serve my clients.   Courses I completed  are grounded in scientific evidence and included: Anatomy, Biology, Cellular Biology, Chemistry/ Biochemistry, Physiology, Preventive Nutrition, Geriatric/ Pediatric/Sports Nutrition, Symptomology, Pathology, Allergies, Alternative Diets, and Clinical Research.   I was required to complete in-depth Case Studies, pass exams for each module, and write a final proctored exam.  Our mandate is to educate groups and individuals about the benefits and health impacts of optimal nutrition.
I work one-on-one with clients to develop 
personalized programs and also enjoy  public speaking in a variety of venues.
