Do you experience guilt, shame, and fear related to food and eating?
Is over or under-eating damaging your health?
Do you feel out of control around food?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re in the right place. Whether you have a diagnosis, think you have an eating disorder, are struggling with disordered eating habits, or are just so tired of worrying about food – I would be honoured to work alongside you as you discover what it means to nourish your body and build a more peaceful relationship with food.
I am a Registered Dietitian specializing in nutrition counselling for eating disorders, disordered eating, and supporting a healthy relationship with food. I love to combine the science of food and nutrition with the truth of God’s word. What does this look like? It depends on your unique situation. It could be nutrition support to re-nourish a body ravaged by restriction or cycles of chronic dieting. It could be bringing stability to erratic eating patterns or slowly picking through the lies you’ve believed about food and how your body uses food. It could be… Read More
Kristina loves to provide a faith-based nutrition counselling approach for clients who value this. She respects each individual client and will not provide this service for clients who are not interested in bringing the topic of faith into sessions.

Faith-based perspective – what does this mean?
I acknowledge that we are made in the image of God, that our bodies are good, and that food is good.
I also acknowledge that we live in a fallen world. When it comes to food, this means we have broken bodies and broken relationships with food. This is a result of the brokenness around us and our sin.
The goal is to live in light of redemption. We belong to Jesus and have lives to live to God’s glory. My deep desire is that food is not an encumbrance. Something that consumes our minds and wracks us with guilt, shame, or fear. But, rather, something that we get to enjoy with thankfulness, fuel our bodies with, enjoy with others, and see God’s goodness through.
It may seem impossible now, but there is hope.
Faith-based perspective – what this doesn’t mean.
Just pray and it will get better.
A Bible-based diet plan.
A one-size-fits-all approach, “Read your Bible, pray, and follow these three steps!” Nope, not that.
That eating disorders aren’t a serious mental and physical health condition (they are!).
What you get:
- A thorough assessment to understand your past and present struggles with food, body, and exercise, alongside any health complications and lifestyle considerations.
- A collaborative approach that hears your struggles, fears, and dreams, and prioritizes your values and goals.
- Ongoing support in the form of 1:1 virtual sessions with options for between-appointment support.
- Comprehensive care – I see great value in working alongside your health care team (i.e. medical doctor, mental health therapist, etc.)
