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...

My husband Dave convinced me on two occasions to pack up the family and travel around the world with our young kids.  He has also introduced me to surfing, windsurfing, and wake boarding which I never imagined starting in my late 40s! 

Living with three boys means that I must keep up on a snowboard, wake surf, mountain bike and most recently wake foiling.  It is getting harder and harder to do!  Good thing that I absolutely love cooking for a houseful of hungry teens because feeding this active family of mine is a full-time job!

Would you like to know a few fun facts about me?  Before becoming a dietitian I worked as a tour guide at three Olympics – Nagano (1998), Sydney (2000), and Salt Lake City (2002). My life is no longer that exciting.  For the day to day, I enjoy testing new recipes, practicing yoga, going to the gym, and running with my dog Pepper if I have enough motivation to lace up my shoes (yes, dietitians struggle with this too).

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.
