About Joanna

Welcome! I have 10 years of experience as a dietitian. I have worked in long term care and short term rehabilitation facilities, school/early childhood nutrition, and public health. This has given me a change to work with people from a variety of ages and backgrounds, with various health concerns. Before I started my journey of becoming a dietitian, I attended culinary school and worked as a pastry chef. So, I know great tasting food is very important and has a place in a healthy diet. My experience working in food service has helped me to gain a deeper understanding of food science and how we can adjust recipes to suit our dietary needs, without sacrificing traditional flavors. I enjoy teaching cooking and nutrition lessons. I'm looking forward to working with you and helping you meet your health goals!

Approach to care

I use evidence-based nutrition, and tailor information to suit an individual's own lifestyle, culture, and tastes. I will work with you to help set achievable goals, and build on these goals as you progress. I want you to be able to narrow down and focus on what you find most important for your health, and meet goals one step at a time.

Your first session with Joanna

In the first session, we will introduce ourselves, and I’ll be gathering information to help guide our nutrition counseling sessions. We will talk about your vision for your health. Then, we will make at least one achievable goal to work on over the next few days.
