Hi, I’m Veronica! I’m a Certified Holistic Nutritional Practitioner. I work with anyone and everyone looking to improve their health through optimization of their nutrition and lifestyle.

As a Holistic Nutritionist, I honour the body’s natural ability to heal by working with the unique physical, emotional, chemical, spiritual, and environmental aspects of each individual’s life. This involves deep diving into the whole person to determine the link between their symptoms, diet, health history, environmental and lifestyle factors such as toxic burden, activity level, sleep and stress.

With a focus on detoxification support comes improvements in the health of the immune system, digestive system, endocrine (hormonal) system, and nervous system. By starting from the root of inflammation and bringing the body back to its natural state, comes improvements in overall functionality and wellbeing. Through education, motivation and ongoing support, my clients can change their lives entirely, feel better, and live the functional life they want.

My Story

With an educational background in fine art and architectural conservation, I began a career in a completely different realm than where I am today. I loved art and architecture (and still do today), but I was eager to make more of a difference in other peoples’ personal lives as well as improve my own overall wellbeing. 

Growing up as a competitive athlete, I was always immersed in fitness, so becoming a Personal Trainer felt like a natural diversion from my previous career and allowed me to help myself and others through functional movement and mobility. Realizing the power of strength training’s ability to erase years of physical pain for myself and my clients, I continued to expand my certifications including becoming a certified Fascial Stretch Therapist.

After over a decade of working with clients in the fitness industry, my passion turned to Holistic Nutrition after personally experiencing the healing abilities of what the earth has to provide for us – as we are not separate from it – and by holistically harnessing natural health, we can get back to our natural, disease-free state. Throughout this time, and as life threw life at me, I had been suffering from chronic adrenal fatigue and inflammation in the form of nervous system dysregulation and an autoimmune disease that was wreaking havoc on my skin, digestive system and mental health. After having seen multiple conventional doctors with trial and error of treatments after another of attempting to treat each health issue separately, any form of relief did not come until I addressed the connection between my diet, nutrient deficiencies and toxic environmental factors that were contributing to my symptoms. Through taking this holistic approach to my own health with ongoing diet and lifestyle modifications and management, I was able to reduce the inflammation, calm my nervous system, send my autoimmune disease into remission, and heal my chronic fatigue and digestive issues. I’ve realized that optimal health requires a multifaceted approach, and through this experience I am better able to help my clients and those I love in this lifetime!

When I’m not with clients, I’m enjoying life with my loved ones and spending time connecting with nature, meditation, yoga, cooking, travel, strength training, and continuing to keeping up a creative practice in painting and photography.
