I grew up on a small rural property where my parents raised cattle and tended a quarter-acre garden filled with vegetables, fruit trees, and an old elderberry bush. Food was part of everyday life — planting, picking, preserving, and preparing together. That early connection to real food shaped how I see nourishment today: simple, seasonal, and deeply satisfying.
When I moved to Kitchener-Waterloo for university, I discovered farmers’ markets, health food stores, and a vibrant new world of ingredients. I also spent years working in restaurants — from local diners to fine dining — learning how food brings people together and how it can be both creative and deeply healing.
At the same time, I was searching for ways to support my own well-being. That journey led me to holistic nutrition — a blend of science, self-awareness, and the healing power of food. Becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist allowed me to combine everything I love: real food, education, and helping others feel their best.
