DIETETIC SERVICES
As a Registered Dietitian Sarah aims to empower her patients to embrace, understand and enjoy food. Nowadays, society is exposed to high amounts of misinformation regarding nutrition, Sarah hopes that by translating the science of nutrition into terms everyone can understand she can provide credible information to support balanced living.
Sarah’s approach is anti-diet and rooted in the principles of Health At Every Size® as well as intuitive eating. Her process is patient-centred and very collaborative based on patients’ personal needs and challenges. Sarah supports patients in acute situations that require as few as 2-3 appointments as well as longer term support (the number of sessions is highly variable, so expectations and personalized recommendation are discussed at the initial appointment). As a dietitian, it is not within Sarah’s scope to make clinical diagnoses, but she will collaborate as necessary with allied healthcare professionals to aid in this process.

-

ANTI-DIET NUTRITION COUNSELLING GROUPS
In my work I use the principles of Intuitive Eating as a framework for gentle nutrition to build off of. We’ll work together to discover how food can be a more joyful, less stressful part of your life - every. single. day.
Intuitive eating is about eating the foods YOU want to eat, without ‘balance’, ‘moderation’ or ‘portion control’, but instead cultivating neutrality with foods so that you can make choices that feel best to you. Using structured tools and support will make this approach sustainable in the long-term.
-
Eat the way you want to eat, without strict dieting
-
Learn how to let go of the shame and guilt attached certain foods
-
Understand your body's cues (and how to honour them!)
Maybe you want to:

Work on your own relationship to food so you can confidently raise Intuitive Eaters

Make food feel easier than it does right now.
