Education
Highlights
A graduate of the Diploma of Holistic Nutrition at Pacific Rim College, Anne has completed 2,125 hours of training, including 360 clinic hours, with honors (Summa Cum Laude). She is also a member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutrition Practitioners (CANNP).
Anne's education included a combination of science-based knowledge of physiology and biochemistry with traditional approaches such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. By uniting the best of both worlds, she believes that a deeper understanding of nutrition and health is achieved.
THE HOLISTIC NUTRITION
PHILOSOPHY
Holistic & natural nutrition practitioners take the approach of looking at the whole person, also considering emotional, physical and situational aspects. Their efforts are based on the fundamental notion that all the various parts of a person are connected and therefore interrelated. Because every client is considered to be unique and individual, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
We use a variety of assessment tools which includes attaining a complete medical, lifestyle, and emotional evaluation as well as an in-depth dietary history to determine a course of action that best suits your individual biochemistry.
Our job is to educate and advise about dietary habits, food supplementation and healthy lifestyle. You will receive personalized recommendations to match you needs and goals.
Efforts concentrate on preventing poor health or reestablishing good health and catching imbalances in the early stages (diagnosis and treatment are not in the scope of practice). The main goal is to educate you on how best to nourish your body for maximum health and vitality.
It is well known that the proper balance of macro and micronutrients is an important aspect of nutritional recommendations. Ayurveda acknowledges the importance of this balance and even takes it a step further, by recognizing the importance of balancing the tastes, elements and attributes that compose each food.
Ayurveda considers the five elements of foods (ether, air, fire, water and earth), their attributes, and their taste (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent) to explain how they will interact with us.
During your nutrition consult, we will investigate which elements historically stand out in your system and which ones might be more pronounced at the present moment. The goal is to balance out any given attribute that might be excess in our body via individualized recommendations that will support your well-being.
Ayurveda is a holistic approach to wellness and digestive health is one of its central pillars. Digestion is encompassed in the ayurvedic concept of Agni.

DIGESTION
& AGNI
Agni is a Sanskrit word that represents the fire element; it governs all transformation that happens within our body, including digestion, metabolism, body temperature regulation, tissue maturation, cognition and our vital energy. Digestion is not only Agni’s main role, but it also dictates how well all these other processes will work.
Food is our body’s fuel and through digestion is how we can access it. Our overall health and vitality are directly related to the food we eat and how well your body can process it. Ayurveda focuses on fixing digestive imbalances in order to address a different array of unpleasant experiences that negatively affect our overall well-being.
Learning how to support your digestive system will have a profound and lasting effect on your quality of life by increasing your energy, enhancing immunity, promoting natural weight loss and reducing potential health complaints.
You will be asked to complete intake forms that will help in directing the focus of the appointment. These forms are completed using a secure online platform and need to be submitted at least 48h before your scheduled appointment.
The detailed intake forms will inquire about your medical history, dietary habits, and lifestyle as well as an in-depth screening of any signs of potential imbalances.

We will talk about your main goals and further discuss any information collected in the questionnaire that is key for developing your wellness plan.
This is a space for you to share what is important for you, what your struggles are, and to expand on your history as we work together in directing the strategies that will be created for you.

You will receive your tailored made wellness plan with dietary and lifestyle recommendations. In most cases this will include supplement and herbal support recommendations as well.
I will also suggest the timeline for your follow-up appointments based on your goals and the changes we decide to implement.

I will be available to answer questions via email as well as support you in implementing the changes and guide you on how to monitor what is working for your body.
We will meet again for your follow-up consultation, when we will discuss how the initial wellness plan worked for you. Based on your feed-back and progress assessment, we will implement modifications as needed and you will receive your updated wellness plan.

While focusing on improving your quality of life, I will help you gauge your progress in tangible ways and offer a variety of alternative solutions.
You can also request a weekly meal plan at an additional fee. This is a separate service as some clients prefer to have the flexibility of creating their own meals after being educated to do so.
The standard wellness plan you receive after each appointment does include a one-day meal plan suggestion but does not offer the variety of a weekly meal plan.
