My Experience
I have been counseling for multiple years and I am a former elite Ringette goalie who played on AA ringette for 10+ years. From the rush of being on a national caliber ringette team to the countless hours spent honing my skills as a goalie and playing soccer, baseball, and rock climbing on the side, sports have been a constant. It was this deep-seated connection to athletics that ignited my passion for nutrition, seeing firsthand how it could elevate performance on the field or rink. Graduating from the University of Alberta and then studying sports nutrition, only solidified my conviction in the transformative power of proper fueling.
Life's twists and turns often lead us back to where we began, but with newfound insights and purpose. A significant injury diverted my path away from hospital work, but it also served as a catalyst for returning to my roots. Now, armed with both personal and professional experiences, I advocate for the profound impact sports can have on one's life and health through nutrition. It's a journey of resilience, fueled by a belief in the potential for change, and a testament to the enduring bond between passion and purpose.
Extending our love
I also have a tender place in my heart for people going through Long COVID. I want to help you from a nutritional standpoint and offer virtual consultations. I wish I could offer this as a free service, and maybe one day I will get funding for this, for now we have a sliding scale for prices.
The rules of life changed for me when I developed long COVID. Now I am at a place where I can help others going through similar situations. I don't claim to have a cure but having gone through it myself, I can implement nutrition strategies and knowledge to help manage long-COVID.
