As a dedicated dietitian, I am on a mission to empower individuals to regain control over their digestive health and live life to the fullest. My passion lies in unraveling the mysteries of digestive symptoms, providing relief, and guiding you towards a happier, healthier gut.

My Specialties

My expertise centers on digestive symptoms – from bloating, distention, abdominal pain, and reflux to diarrhea, constipation, and complex digestive disorders. I work with people who have IBS, IBD, SIBO, chronic constipation, reflux, food intolerances, and other digestive conditions. 

Continuous Learning

I’m pleasantly overwhelmed with the abundance of new research on digestion and the gut microbiome.  I’m committed to staying at the forefront of this field among dietitians in Canada. I diligently keep up with the latest research and breakthroughs, allowing me to provide you with the most effective solutions in the least amount of time. My goal is to help you regain control of your digestive symptoms swiftly with the least number of changes so that you can put gut worries behind you and move forward with your life.  This is where I get to show off a few of my related credentials.

On a personal note...

Would you like to know a fun fact about me? 

Before becoming a dietitian I worked as a tour guide at three Olympics – Nagano (1998), Sydney (2000), and Salt Lake City (2002).  That seems like a lifetime ago now.  These days, life is a bit less globe-trotting and a lot more grounded.  I’m married with three teenage boys.  I spend plenty of time prepping meals and coming up with new recipes.  I also love practicing Ashtanga yoga, sweating my face off at SpinCo, going to the gym and running with my very cute dog, Pepper.  

I’ve had some challenges too.  In 2023, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It was a tough year as I was only 49.  I’m well now.  Cancer is in the rear view mirror and I’m highly motivated to keep it that way with a healthy diet and an impressive amount of physical activity.  

I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from the work that I do.  I’ve gone deep into the very specific field of digestion.  This has allowed me to help people in way that they haven’t experienced before.  This makes my heart happy.
