Nutrition Counselling Services

Nutrition can feel complicated, especially when you're trying to make sense of conflicting information while also navigating changes in your health, body, or relationship with food.

I provide individualized, evidence-based nutrition counselling that considers your health history, preferences, values, circumstances, and goals. My practice has a particular focus on reproductive and hormonal health, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, and supporting a positive relationship with food and your body.

I offer virtual appointments to patients throughout Nova Scotia.

I can help with…

Reproductive & Hormonal Health

Nutrition can play an important role in supporting reproductive health, but there is no one-size-fits-all fertility diet. We'll look at your individual health history and goals to determine what nutrition support may be helpful for you.

I provide nutrition counselling for:

  • Fertility, preconception, and trying to conceive

  • Infertility and subfertility

  • Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS; formerly known as PCOS)

  • Endometriosis

  • Hypothalamic amenorrhea

  • Irregular or absent menstrual periods

  • Insulin resistance

  • Other reproductive and hormonal health concerns

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Nutrition needs change throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. I can help you navigate those changes while taking into account your symptoms, preferences, culture, circumstances, and relationship with food.

Support may include:

  • Nutrition throughout pregnancy

  • Prenatal and postpartum nutrition

  • Nausea, vomiting, food aversions, and pregnancy cravings

  • Meeting changing nutrition needs during pregnancy

  • Breastfeeding and chestfeeding nutrition

  • Postpartum nutrition support

  • Nutrition support when returning to your usual routines after pregnancy

Your Relationship with Food

Nutrition counselling isn't just about what you eat. For some patients, the most important part of nutrition care is developing a more flexible and comfortable relationship with food and their body.

I provide weight-inclusive nutrition counselling informed by intuitive and mindful eating, including support with:

  • Intuitive eating

  • Mindful eating

  • Disordered eating and recovery

  • Food guilt and anxiety around eating

  • Moving away from restrictive or diet-focused approaches to food

  • Weight-neutral nutrition support

  • Responsive feeding


Looking for support with something else?

While reproductive and hormonal health, pregnancy, and the relationship with food are areas of particular interest in my practice, I also provide nutrition counselling for a range of other health concerns and nutrition goals, including digestive health, IBS, cholesterol, MASLD (fatty liver), and general nutrition support.

If you're not sure whether my approach and experience are a good fit for what you're looking for, I recommend booking a free 15-minute discovery call before scheduling an initial assessment. This gives us a chance to briefly discuss your concerns, what you're hoping to get out of nutrition counselling, and whether I'm the right dietitian to support you.

What to expect from nutrition counselling

My approach is collaborative and individualized. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan, we'll consider your health history, nutrition needs, preferences, values, circumstances, and goals when developing your nutrition care plan.

I want you to understand the reasoning behind recommendations and feel comfortable asking questions and making decisions about your care. Depending on your needs, appointments may include nutrition education, practical strategies, goal setting, symptom or food pattern review, and individualized resources.

Initial nutrition assessment - $170

Your first appointment is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to nutrition counselling and what you'd like support with.

We'll discuss your health and nutrition history, current concerns, relationship with food, preferences, and goals. Together, we'll identify priorities and develop an individualized plan for nutrition care.

Your appointment may include nutrition education, practical strategies, goal setting, and resources tailored to your needs. You won't be expected to arrive with a food diary or a perfectly organized list of questions.

Follow-up nutrition counselling

30-minute follow-up — $90

45-minute follow-up — $130

Follow-up appointments are individualized to your needs. Some patients may benefit from regular appointments, while others may only need occasional follow-up support.

30 minute follow ups are shorter, regular follow-up appointments for checking in on progress, answering questions, troubleshooting barriers, or addressing a specific nutrition concern.

A longer 45 minute follow-up appointment is available when you need more time to explore ongoing concerns, review changes or symptoms, work through barriers, or develop and adjust your nutrition plan.

Other services:

Meal planning
- Optional add-on: starting at $60/month

Meal planning is available as an optional add-on when additional meal-planning support would be helpful or specifically requested. Meal plans are not included in the cost of nutrition counselling appointments.

When appropriate, meal plans are created through EatLove and can be tailored to your nutrition needs, preferences, schedule, cooking skills, budget, and circumstances.

I don't routinely recommend meal plans, as they aren't necessary or helpful for everyone. They are simply one tool that may be useful depending on your goals and preferences.

Nutrigenomix nutritional genetic testing

Nutritional genetic testing is available by request. If you're interested in Nutrigenomix testing, please contact me before booking so we can discuss whether this service is appropriate for your needs.

Insurance coverage

Many extended health benefit plans cover Registered Dietitian services, but coverage varies between plans. Check with your insurance provider to confirm whether nutrition counselling is covered under your plan and whether you require a referral.

Direct billing may be available for individual nutrition counselling appointments. I can typically direct bill to most major insurance plans, so long as your plan allows (i.e. Blue Cross, Sunlife, and those under Telus Health). Direct billing is not currently available for meal planning or Nutrigenomix testing.

Receipts are provided for services that are not eligible for direct billing so that you can submit them to your insurance provider for reimbursement, if eligible under your plan.

A note about where I can practice

I currently provide virtual nutrition counselling to patients who are residents of Nova Scotia.

If you are located outside Nova Scotia, please contact me before booking to confirm whether I am able to provide nutrition counselling where you live.
