Let's Redefine Your Relationship With Food
SUCCESSFUL CLIENT ADVENTURES
I've been battling mild to moderate gastrointestinal distress my entire life. And in 2017 things got infinitely worse when I was diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. For the next few years I was throwing up and having diarrhea everyday. My weight was dropping (not in a healthy way, at all) and I was constantly bloated and nauseous. It was hell. I wasn't able to show up for my family, I couldn't be my best self for my clients, and worst of all, I couldn't engage in the physical activities that I love (kickboxing, jiu jitsu, snowboarding, running, hiking, lifting, etc.) because I simply had no energy.
Luckily, I found Renee. With her diet and health expertise, Renee helped me climb out of my bloated, nauseous, dry-heaving, leaky-ass-having misery and got my digestive function to a point where I can now do all of the things I love to do, without my gut health holding me back. There's no way I could've done it without her. If you're struggling with gastrointestinal problems, I couldn't recommend her more.

I have worked with Renee for both improving my general health and dietary choices as well as to strategically plan meals to help me bring my weight down safely for combat sports events that require me to weigh in at specific weight on a specific day.
Not only is she knowledgeable and able to help me create a plan for my specific needs but she is also very pleasant to work with. I was able to hit my goals working with Renee and I learned so much along the way. I would recommend her to anyone.

Renee is the BEST. You can’t talk about lifestyle changes for overall wellness, and not talk about diet. It is also a topic with overturning research, and massive misinformation on social media. If you want to shave years off trial and error, you have to see Renee. I’m a trainer and Massage Therapist by trade, but despite my passion for physical fitness, my nutrition needed work. My relationship with food always fluctuated on a scale; I’m either strictly utilizing food for fuel, or as a source of comfort. Renee’s consultation process is thorough, and she works to learn about who you are, to understand what you need. I’m not an easy client. I have idiopathic IBS and am allergic to almost every food group you can name. Despite this, Renee has helped me reframe my relationship with food, and provided me with a nutritional framework to enjoy food with minimal IBS flare-ups. You’ll be drawn to her knowledge, and stay for her personality. I wouldn’t recommend any other dietitian!

FAQ
In Canada, the “dietitian” title is protected by law. Dietitians are regulated health professionals that must hold a university degree in food and nutrition, complete rigorous practical training, pass a national licensing exam (just like doctors, nurses, etc.), register with their provincial regulatory body and meet ethical standards to legally practice in Canada. Dietitians stay on top of the latest research and translate that into practical guidance to help you improve your health. By seeking support from a dietitian, it’s a way for you to be sure you’re receiving safe, evidenced-based recommendations, tailored to your specific needs.
For more on this, please visit the College of Dietitians of British Columbia.
We will meet you at your level! As each person’s reason for working with a dietitian is different, it is our responsibility to understand your needs and help you set realistic, achievable and personalized next steps.
We may ask questions to get to know you and you can definitely do the same for us. Expect a judgment-free, confidential environment where you can talk about yourself and share your values, goals and concerns.

After booking your initial assessment, you will receive an intake questionnaire from us so that we can get to know you, and you can share your concerns. We encourage you to think about your values and areas you may want to change or improve, and reflect on your current eating and lifestyle patterns.
Sustainable diet and lifestyle changes take time. Follow-up sessions with a dietitian can help you track your progress, adjust your nutrition plan as you go, and continue to learn new information to help you move forward.

Who You'll Be Working With
I’m a Registered Dietitian with the College of Dietitians of British Columbia, and I’m passionate about guiding people towards better health. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with many people within the hospital and at outpatient clinics with a diverse range of health conditions.
In my spare time, you can find me outside in nature, traveling, in the gym, figuring out a new recipe in the kitchen, listening to music, or just trying new things! Nutrition and good health fuel the activities that make my life meaningful. And that is exactly what I want for you too!
