NUTRITION COACHING
We all start somewhere….
Everyones health journey starts at their beginning and moves in many directions towards their goal. Success is not a linear path! When I work with clients I meet them where they are at and move forward one step at a time. We celebrate the wins (big or small) and learn when things don’t go as planned. We are creating habits that last!
I support clients with varying goals such as;
Looking to improve health
balance mood
create energy
improve sleep
Decrease cholesterol
balance blood sugar
support hormones
support disease processes such as autoimmune diseases
Implement specialty diets
and so much more.
Making changes isn’t always easy. Having support, a plan and a place to ask your question can help to reduce the overwhelm and make the transition a success!!
Support Your Health
This is an individualised program where we acknowledge you and your health!
We will look at your main concern(s) and thoroughly go through your symptoms. With this program we are approaching your health from all angles, taking into account your lifestyle, genetics, blood work and other data.
We then believe in educating our clients with the use evidence based recommendations and straight forward language that you understand. When one understands why we are much more likely to take action and the how will follow.
What you can expect.
The program is 3 months in total length.
We will work closely together to understand your main concern(s) and goal(s), complete a thorough in take where we will do a diet and lifestyle assessment, review your health history and a symptom analysis.
We will create a customized program that meets you where you’re at with an actionable plan to follow for the first 3 months. Where we will be in close contact -monitoring your progress and making adjustments as needed.
You can expect to be supported by zoom, email or in person (those local to the Kelowna area) during your time in this program.
How the program works
Step 1: Discovery Call
During this call you will have chance to tell us about yourself, your concerns and goals. What you have tried in the past and what has worked! We will explain our process and philosophy; along with what you can expect as we move forward together.
Step2: Intake
We will spend approximate 1.5-2hrs together gathering information about your health and health history, symptoms that you are experiencing and outcome you would like to achieve.
We do this with the use of a:
Comprehensive health history intake
Symptom analysis
Diet and lifestyle assessment
Review of eating habits
Medication and Supplement assessment (amount, brands, forms, interactions, etc.)
Review of any existing blood work and other medical tests
Review any missing information that is required
Step 3: Customized Protocol
Once we have collected and reviewed all the data, and information gathered during the intake, we create an evidence-based custom program for you that will include:
Information related to main concern and how it relates back to you
Complete analysis of test results
Dietary recommendations- including therapeutic foods
Lifestyle recommendations
Therapeutic supplementation
Recipes
Any other supportive material that is needed for your understanding
This takes approximately 2 weeks to develop.
Step 4: Protocol Delivery
In this appointment we will review in detail our findings along with our recommendations. This appointment typically takes 1.5-2hrs to ensure full understanding about your health challenges and how the protocol will work to support and rebalance you!
You will leave this time knowing what you need to do, why you’re doing it and how you’re going to do it.
Step 5: Ongoing Support
We will support with 6 hrs of 1:1 support over the three months. Follow up time with will be used to assess progress and make updates/changes as needed. These will be in the frequency that will best fit your success. Email communication between appointments is welcomed for clarification questions.

It depends on your provider and your specific plan.
I am registered both with CAHN-Pro. Your employer must have included nutrition in the services they allow for their employees.
These providers may have coverage:
Industrial Alliance
Claim Secure
DiBrina Sure Group
Johnson Insurance
Manulife
Great West
Please note:
Most insurance companies require verification of CAHN-Pro membership for services to be covered.
Specific coverage may vary based on the client’s package.
If you have “Flex Plans” or “Health Spending Accounts” that allow you to allocate funds towards complimentary health services. This is usually our best option for coverage.
Please check with your insurance company to see if your plan extends coverage to nutrition services.
