About Stephanie

Hello! If you are living with a health condition (or multiple) and feel overwhelmed, you are not alone. My goal is to help you make sense of your experience as well as the endless amount of nutrition information out there. I have worked with people of all ages, genders and cultures dealing with a variety of health needs. I am well rounded and specialize in nutrition for cancer (prevention, treatment and survivorship), gastrointestinal/digestive conditions, mindful and intuitive eating, disordered eating/eating disorders as well as complex situations such as managing multiple conditions at one time.

Approach to care

I approach nutrition with acknowledging the role food plays in our lives, culture and how overwhelming it is to make choices in our current environment. Through exploring your unique relationship with food, we will work together to identify patterns that are no longer serving you and replace them with strategies to support flexible, enjoyable and sustainable eating. My role is to help you celebrate your strengths, overcome challenges and provide education when appropriate and requested. I will combine motivational interviewing, mindfulness, intuitive eating principles and evidence-based nutrition science to support you every step of the way.

Your first session with Stephanie

During our first session, we will get to know one another. We will explore your past and current lifestyle, patterns and beliefs around your health and eating. From here, you will set short term and long term goals that are meaningful and attainable. Each session afterwards will be tailored based on where you are in the moment, shifting gears when needed.
