Hi, I’m Katherine,

In a world overwhelmed with the pressures of diet culture and photoshopped images, I invite you to embark on a journey towards embracing food freedom and body acceptance.

As a child, watching my Nonna prepare Italian dishes sparked my passion for food and the culinary arts. However, as a dietitian, witnessing firsthand the harmful effects of diet culture fueled my commitment to advocating for a weight-inclusive and non-dieting approach. Through my training, I've learned the significant impact of mental health on our relationship with food, motivating me to create a supportive environment for exploring food and body image without judgment.

I am particularly also drawn to working with individuals from minority groups, and I make a dedicated effort to understand and honor your cultural background, recognizing that culture greatly influences one's relationship with food and body image.

If you're ready to embark on a journey towards reclaiming your relationship with food and your body, I invite you to reach out. You can email me to schedule a consultation, where we can discuss your goals and what to expect from our sessions. I look forward to being your partner in rediscovering joy and balance in eating!

“And I said to my body, softly, “I want to be your friend.”
It took a long breath and replied, “I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.” ”
— Nayyirah Waheed

weight Inclusive & Non-dieting Approach

As a registered dietitian committed to a weight-inclusive and non-dieting approach, my primary focus is on fostering a holistic and sustainable relationship between my clients and their bodies. Rather than perpetuating societal norms that prioritize weight as a measure of health, I strive to create an environment that values overall well-being, mindful eating, body positivity, and body neutrality. My approach recognizes that health is multifaceted and encompasses various factors beyond weight alone. I work collaboratively with my clients to shift the emphasis from restrictive dieting to cultivating a balanced and individualized approach to nutrition. This involves promoting intuitive eating, honoring hunger and fullness cues, and embracing the principles of self-compassion. By emphasizing Health At Every Size© and dismantling weight stigma, I aim to empower my clients to make choices that align with their unique needs and goals, fostering a positive and sustainable journey towards improved well-being.

Areas of Specialty

  • Eating Disorder Recovery

    A dietitian can help treat eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder). A multidisciplinary approach, including therapists and dietitians, helps individuals develop coping strategies, rebuild a healthy relationship with food, and address underlying emotional factors for lasting positive changes.

  • Disordered Eating

    Disordered eating refers to a range of irregular eating behaviors that do not meet the criteria for a diagnosed eating disorder but still deviate from eating patterns that promote physical and emotional well-being. Disordered eating still negatively impacts one's physical and mental health, but the severity and patterns may not meet the criteria for a specific eating disorder.

    A dietitian helps by offering personalized nutritional guidance, promoting balance, and collaborating on strategies for a healthy relationship with food.

  • Nutrition & Mental Health

    Nutrition and mental health are interconnected, with a balanced diet playing a significant role in emotional well-being. Dietitians help those with concerns such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, and sleep issues, helping them make nutritious choices and adopt healthy habits. Dietitians also offer strategies to improve gut health, often referred to as our "second brain," through dietary adjustments and the use of probiotics.

  • Body Image Empowerment

    Body image empowerment involves cultivating a positive perception of one's body, challenging societal standards, and fostering self-acceptance. Professionals guide individuals toward a healthier relationship with their bodies, encouraging self-compassion and celebrating uniqueness.

  • Balanced Eating

    Balanced eating involves making mindful choices to ensure a varied and nutritious diet. It emphasizes a mix of food groups, portion control, and mindful eating practices, promoting overall health and well-being. Dietitians offer personalized guidance, helping individuals achieve and maintain balance in their dietary habits.

  • Eating on a Budget

    Eating on a budget demands smart planning for balanced nutrition within financial constraints. A dietitian offers cost-effective meal ideas, budget-friendly shopping tips, and guidance to make nutritious choices, supporting both financial wellness and overall health.

  • Pediatric Nutrition

    A dietitian can help your family focus on meeting the unique dietary needs of your infant, child, or adolescent. Various topics include strategies for picky eating, ensuring optimal growth and development, the prevention and management of nutritional deficiencies, and the establishment of balanced eating habits from an early age.

  • Personalized Meal Plans

    A dietitian can craft personalized meal plans for you, considering your cultural background, allergies, food intolerances, preferences, and any specific dietary requirements for medical or religious reasons. You'll gain access to a diverse range of recipes, grocery lists, and flexible plans using "That Clean Life" software.

In Ontario, registered dietitians are licensed by the College of Dietitians of Ontario (CDO). Our dietitian services are not covered by provincial health plans like OHIP, but you may have coverage through your extended health insurance.

Insurance coverage varies, so check your plan to see what's covered (like per session or per year). While we don't do direct billing, we'll give you a detailed receipt to submit to your insurance provider.

If your insurance doesn't cover dietitian services, keep your receipt. In Ontario, dietitian services count as a medical expense for tax purposes, and you might qualify for a tax credit depending on your income when you file your taxes.
