Hey there! I am so elated you have chosen to visit Me!

 

    My personal journey started when I was around 19 years young. I decided to convert to Vegetarianism, simply from reading a book and literally discovering the incredible benefits of blueberries... I never came out of that rabbit hole! However, after much personal success, I embarked on a different path and now I genuinely and compassionately help people heal and start a journey towards a happier and healthier life.

 

    I became a caregiver at a very early age as a result of my Father suffering injuries from a serious car accident, including a severe brain injury which affects his mobility and quality of life. I was quickly thrown into being an adult much quicker than my peers and it is these experiences that have moulded Me to become the Practitioner I am today. (Fast forward 29 years, he is still alive and well)

 

    As someone who has struggled with their weight for many years, I know how frustrating it can be to try and get to a place of feeling healthy and happy with one’s body. I believe that proper nutrition is a vital component of reaching that state, and I’m committed to educating my clients about the power of a plant-based diet.  In addition, I do provide nutritional services with all dietary sources in mind.  By focusing on nutrient-dense foods and cutting out unnecessary processed items, my clients are able to not only lose weight, but also see improvements in their mood, digestion, energy levels and mental clarity.

 

    With my experience in the holistic nutrition industry, my personal practitioner visits, in addition to my vast education, I have many tools in my toolbox to aid in your Health and Wellness Journey! Whether it's a set service, or merely asking questions about health and life, and having fun at the same time, I welcome the opportunity to help you.

 

    Growing up in a Ukrainian household, eggs, meat and dairy are staples of almost every meal. When I turned 19 years old- I finally made the amazing decision of becoming a vegetarian. I quickly remembered being gifted a book by a family member called "A Diet For A New America" by John Robbins - Wow, did it change my life, for the better! At this point I had already stopped consuming red meat, but it was eliminating chicken that was tough for me! However, after I read that book, I decided to never consume any meat, ever again! Here we are 12 years later.

 

    Turning vegetarian is one of the best things I have chosen to do - I am still on my health journey and I am getting healthier by the day. Becoming vegetarian allowed me the ability to research how to eat properly and attain all the vital nutrients I needed, consuming a plant based diet. At this point in my life - I was working at McDonalds and I truly enjoyed my 7 year journey being employed there. After going down the nutrition rabbit hole, I changed my entire career focus from Customs Officer to Addictions Counsellor to a Holistic Nutritionist. Immediately after I graduated from Sociology, I attended The Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine and graduated with Honours following a 3-year program. That educational achievement fast tracked me through the Holistic Functional Nutrition course at The Edison Institute of Nutrition - What a fabulous course. I then completed multiple courses through The Health Sciences Academy, and I still continue to upgrade my education.

 

    I am constantly learning and teaching myself. I always say that Life = School. Everyone we meet, every experience we have, it creates who we are and as long as we are open to learning and not judging, everyone is a Teacher.

 

    I have now been in the holistic industry for 10+ years and it has definitely captured my heart and soul. I have been able to advise my family and friends over the years and have seen their health and overall wellbeing benefit and improve with the nutritional consulting I have provided.

 

I couldn't ask for anything more.

Thanks for reading!
