Hi there, I'm Nadia!

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and am registered with the Saskatchewan College of Dietitians (SCD) and the College of Dietitians of Alberta (CDA). Having been a Saskatchewan girl for almost my whole life, I recently made the move to Calgary and am seeing clients virtually in both Saskatchewan and Alberta.

I have always been a bit of a foodie and believe that nutritious food can and should be delicious and fun! I love the roles food can play in our lives and the connection and joy it can create.

Prior to becoming a Registered Dietitian I studied holistic nutrition and obtained a diploma in Natural Nutrition. My approach to nutrition reflects a holistic approach and I aim to help clients achieve their health goals in a way that feels aligned and empowering for them. My goal as a Registered Dietitian is to help support clients in making nutrition exciting and accessible! 

I have a special interest in pediatric nutrition, ARFID, selective/picky eating, introducing solids, pregnancy nutrition, fertility nutrition, breastfeeding nutrition, and women's health including PCOS, PMS/PMDD, endometriosis, peri-menopause, and menopause nutrition support.

NADIA'S PRIMARY AREAS OF FOCUS  

Women's Hormone Health

Women's hormone health is complex and unique. Nadia is dedicated to support you through every stage of life, offering personalized nutrition plans tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, PMS/PMDD, or navigating peri-menopause and menopause, she is here to support you to achieve hormonal balance and overall wellness.

Pediatric Nutrition

Ensuring your child receives the right nutrients is crucial for their growth and development. Nadia provides pediatric nutrition services tailored to meet the unique needs of children at every stage of development. From infancy through adolescence, we provide comprehensive nutritional guidance to help your child thrive. Nadia's goal is to support healthy eating habits that last a lifetime.

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

ARFID is a complex eating disorder that can significantly impact a child's health and well-being. Our specialized approach to ARFID focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment for children and their families. We work closely with you to develop individualized strategies that address your child's specific challenges and promote a positive relationship with food.

Selective/Picky Eating

Many children go through phases of selective or picky eating which can be stressful for parents. Nadia offers education, guidance, and practical solutions to help broaden your child's palate and ensure they receive balanced nutrition. Nadia will help you to  reduce mealtime stress and encourage a varied diet to obtain important nutrients while fostering a healthy relationship with food.

Introducing Solids

Introducing solids is a significant milestone in your baby's development. Our guidance on introducing solids is based on the latest research and best practices. We help you navigate this exciting phase with the education and tools you need to confidently introduce solids to your baby. Some key topic areas include exploring feeding styles, key nutrient of concern, and introducing allergens to create a healthy foundation for your baby.

Pregnancy Nutrition

Balanced nutrition during pregnancy is essential for the health of both mother and baby. We provide personalized nutrition planning to support a healthy pregnancy. Such topic areas include key nutrients to obtain and foods to avoid or limit. Nadia will provide personalized support for common concerns such as nausea (morning sickness), food aversions, constipation, weight changes, and nutrient deficiencies. Nadia's aim is to ensure you and your baby get the nutrients you need for a healthy start.

Fertility Nutrition

Nutrition plays a crucial role in fertility for both men and women. Our fertility nutrition services focus on optimizing your diet to enhance your reproductive health. We offer evidence-based dietary recommendations and support to help improve your chances of conception and support your journey towards parenthood.

Breastfeeding Nutrition

Breastfeeding mothers have increased needs for energy (calories), hydration, and key nutrients. Our breastfeeding nutrition services provide tailored guidance to ensure you meet these needs, supporting both your health and your baby's growth. Nadia offers practical advice to help you maintain a balanced diet that promotes effective lactation and overall well-being!

 

Nadia supports clients with virtual consultations in Saskatchewan and online across Alberta including Calgary and Edmonton.
