Abundance Wellness & Nutrition

I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (R.H.N.) specializing in Gut Health. My journey down the rabbit hole of holistic nutrition began with my young daughter's health issues and various food sensitivities. I wanted answers and this led me to school. I graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN) in Nanaimo, BC. What does that mean? Approximately 1200 of classroom instruction, clinical studies, and supervised practicums. WHEW!! I then went on to learn more through a 7 module Healthy Gut Certificate Program. This provided me with the latest realistic training for practitioners to help their clients succeed where other protocols have failed. I know how confusing it can be in this age of information to try to shift through and make sense of it all. I am constantly upgrading my learning and knowledge and I'm here to help you find the information that will work best for YOU. We are all unique and there is no cookie cutter! You deserve to be treated like the individual that you are.
What is an RHN? What is a Holistic Nutritionist?

Mainstream medicine does not emphasize the significance of poor nutrition as a major cause of a wide range of health disorders. Although most people are aware of the benefits of sound nutrition, the range of conflicting information available to the consumer is often confusing. Holistic nutritionists guide their clients through the maze of information from books, magazines, supplements and diets on the market. They work with clients to identify and help correct the nutritional causes of diseases, and they are qualified to design personalized diet and lifestyle programs that optimize health.
