frequently asked questions

Are your services covered under insurance?

YES! My services can be covered by ALL insurance companies (except for RWAM) under “naturopathy”. I do not direct bill. Please note that payment for packages is upfront - this is an investment in your health.


Are your services virtual or in-person?

Both! It’s your preference. Some clients will do a mix of both depending on scheduling, weather etc. For those in-person, I’m located at 95 Torbay Road on the second floor. For those looking for virtual, I use Zoom.

How does it all work?

  1. Identify which program (Gut & Food Freedom, Gut Tune-Up, or Food Foundations) you are most interested in. See the “Packages” page for more information.

  2. If you’re unsure which one might suit you best & want to chat through things first/ask any questions, book a free 15-minute “Discovery Call”, with no obligation to book.

  3. If you’re ready to rock & no need for a call, you can simply click “Book Now” above and select the program of your choice. Payment is upfront via credit card & you will be prompted to book your first appointment! Yay!

  4. From there, in either program, the first appointment is an initial consultation where I get to know you, your goals & health history in-depth. From that point, I create a custom “road map” for you, which we follow with targeted protocols that range from 4-12 weeks. We then end with a “maintenance” protocol, so you can spread your wings & thrive!

How do I know which program is for me?

Gut & Food Freedom is for:

  • those who want to totally transform their ENTIRE health from the gut out!

  • those who have been seeking answers, trying all the things, and failed by standard practices/other modalities

  • those who have been struggling with symptoms for a while

  • those who have dietary restrictions (i.e., some or all foods “create symptoms”) & want to heal their relationship with food

Gut Tune-Up is for:

  • focusing on just 1-2 symptoms (especially appropriate for working on skin conditions!)

  • acute health issues (rather than issues that have been long-lasting/chronic)

  • those who ALREADY feel very comfortable with nutrition education & health foundations

Food Foundations is for:

  • those who want proper nutrition education & want to eat to prevent chronic illness

  • those who want an energy & mood boost, and to just CHANGE things up with their nutrition

  • those who want to work on & heal their relationship with food

  • those that have struggled (or currently struggle) with disordered eating, bingeing, & cravings

Is there anything I need to have prepped before we begin?

Before the first appointment, you will need to fill out a detailed intake form + a 3-day food diary, due 48H before your appointment. There will be a Client Onboarding program that will walk you through everything & set you up for success before we get started!

Will I have to make drastic changes in my diet?

NO! I am anti-restriction, anti-long term elimination diets, because I want you to have an incredibly supportive and nourishing relationship with food. Furthermore, these programs are rooted in evidence-based behavioural techniques & tailored support (to you and your life right now) to ensure that you succeed, thrive and are able to make these changes sustainable for long-term success.
