About Me
I grew up in Valemount BC, a small mountain village and still live here with my family. I love backpacking, my garden, all things outdoors and food. Not many things make me happier than cooking for my family with food that I grew myself.​
​
So why food?
​
I felt terrible for years and no one could figure it out. I hid it well but inside I felt defeated and frustrated.
​
I was constantly aware of how I was feeling, potential triggers and what I would do if it hit.
​
The anxiety of when and if I would be taken out by my symptoms was a lot.
Always ready, always with a plan.​​
​I dealt with random nausea, exercise induced migraines and an overwhelmingly gross feeling that was inconsistent and unpredictable but made it impossible to function normally when it showed up.
​
My labs all looked good, I was told I was ‘healthy’ but my body was telling me otherwise.
​
I avoided many social outings or hikes with new people because I didn’t know when it would hit and take me out.​ (I think it came across as being snobby, but really I was afraid.) It was embarrassing, I did not want to be a burden.
​
I saw a few different specialists and not one doctor asked about what I ate.
I am also stubborn and found many of my own answers through food.
​
I was undereating for what I was expecting of my body without knowing it.
​
I was commonly eating foods that my body was reacting to without knowing it.
​
I was dealing with reactive hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar) without knowing it.
​
After I addressed these issues, one at a time, I felt better and better.
​
I no longer deal with ANY of those symptoms, and I have energy to enjoy the things I love to do again.
​
It feels so amazing to trust that my body won't betray me.
​
If your body is telling you that something isn’t right, please to listen to it.
​
Not everyone has the ability or desire to sort things out for themselves and this was a driving force behind getting my diploma in holistic nutrition and becoming a Registered Nutritional Therapist. I have been in practice since fall of 2019 and I am a proud member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutrition Partitioners. I additionally hold a nutrition and mindset coaching certificate from A&E Coaching. ​
​
I know that figuring out what to do and staying consistent can feel overwhelming—especially with all the conflicting advice out there. That’s where I come in.
​
If you are looking for a practitioner that will take your concerns seriously and support and guide you through the steps on your path, I am here for you. I absolutely love helping people to feel better in a way that is realistic and maintainable.
​
I believe in building a solid foundation of health, that your body only has what you give it to work with and that small steps add up to make a big difference.
​
Food changed my life and it can change yours too.
​​​​
You deserve to feel good. I can help you get there.​
Love,
Amy​
