Frequently  Asked  Questions

DO YOU OFFER DIRECT BILLING?

How Do I book an  appointment?

I work alongside my clients and focus on aspects that are health enhancing, sustainable and evidence-based. Your body size does not directly correlate to your health status. I do not believe in pathologizing weight and/or body size. All bodies deserve dignity, validation and to be cared for respectfully. It is well documented that people living in higher weights experience weight stigma and fatphobia, which has a significant impact on eating patterns, well-being and mental health.

I practice under the principles of                                                         
as defined by the Association for Size Diversity and Health.

Why should I work with a non-diet, body-inclusive and HAES® aligned dietitian?

Why don't you help people               

Research consistently shows that there is no sustainable permanent weight loss option. The more a person weight cycles and tries to control their body weight, the worse their health becomes (despite actual body weight). In fact, the biggest predictor of weight gain is dieting. Evidence shows that 95-98% of dieters regain the weight back and in most cases more within the next 3-5 years. Your health and your worth cannot be measured simply by a number on the scale. Our bodies are designed to survive and they tend to shift in the direction to do so. Three outcomes exist: a gain, a loss or no change. Your body will determine what it needs to do. 

How do you accept
payment?

Health at Every Size® (HAES®)

lose  weight ?

At this time I'm only offering my services virtually. I use a secure online platform with video sessions for people who reside in Ontario. I am registered with the College of Dietitian's of Ontario but have privileges in other provinces. If you live outside of these regions, I can help you find a body-inclusive dietitian in your area.

In the future, I will be providing in-person counselling services in the Kawartha Lakes.
