Approach to care

Kayla is a compassionate, understanding and empathic dietitian who uses a non-diet, evidenced-based approach to nutrition care. As a busy mother herself, she understands that a nutrition plan should be flexible and adaptable to one's lifestyle. She will work closely with you to create a plan that incorporates small, actionable steps that you can sustain and will lead to lasting results for your health journey!

Your first session with Kayla

Your initial session with Kayla is collaborative and informative; she invites you to share your personal story in a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space. In addition to discussing the 'basics' such as medical history, eating patterns, sleep, and movement, she will also ask questions about your daily routine, including work, family, and social commitments, as these factors play a large role in shaping your nutrition choices. The session will wrap up with a clear plan and one to two small, actionable steps that you can implement immediately. These small steps will build confidence and momentum on your journey towards better health.
