It’s my birthday on Wednesday, and I am always grateful for another year of life and all its learnings so here’s a few my heart wants to share ❤️

The biggest thing I’ve learned is to live in the present moment. Life is so precious, and living in the past or the future robs you of the joy of today.

Do not delay joy until you start the business, lose the weight, buy the house, or get married and have a family—because every stage in life is beautiful in its own way.

Your mindset is much more important than you actually think, because what happens to you in life is mainly a product of how you view what is happening versus what is actually happening.

Stop and smell the flowers. You can work hard and achieve goals, but if you don’t stop and be grateful for every day and for everything God is giving you, then what’s the point?

Tell the people in your life—your close friends and family—that you love them and appreciate them. We all want to feel loved, heard, seen, and appreciated. If we can all extend warmth, appreciation, and kindness to each other, the world will be a better place.

Never compare yourself to others, because comparison is the thief of joy. The grass is not greener—water your own grass, and that’s all you need to worry about.

Grateful for another year 🤍 Thank you God

Eating out doesn’t have to derail your goals 🤍✨
It’s all about building a balanced plate (and making a few strategic swaps!)

Here are some of my go-to tips:

• 🍔 Burger + salad instead of fries
OR lettuce-wrapped burger + fries if you’re craving them

• 🍚 Rice bowls → do ½ rice, double veggies, and add lean protein

• 🍟 Want fries? Keep them—just balance the rest of your plate (protein + veg)

• 🍰 Planning dessert?
Go lighter for your meal → think salad + lean protein

• 🥗 Always aim for: protein + fiber + healthy fats

• 🍗 Prioritize protein first
Grilled chicken, salmon, tofu, lean beef → builds muscle + controls hunger

• 🥬 Add volume with veggies
Ask for extra veggies wherever you can

• 🥤 Watch liquid calories
Swap sugary drinks for water

• 🍽️ You don’t need to “start over tomorrow”
One balanced choice at a time > all-or-nothing

Eating out is part of real life—learn to work WITH it, not against it 💫

Just like winter transforms the world into a wonderland, every season of life shapes us into something more resilient, more radiant, and more ourselves.

Yesterday’s Modeling photoshoot with my friend and photographer Hugo Sanchez

I’ll be making a second post for the landscapes! What a fun photoshoot that was! Modeling in nature is so relaxing for me and one of my favorite hobbies 🥰

What’s a favorite hobby for you?

Emotional eating isn’t a willpower issue — it’s a coping strategy. One small shift:

👉 Pause and ask “What do I actually need right now?”
Awareness comes before change.

Life is too short to live it any way other than what feels true to you.

Lately I’ve been asking myself one simple question: what would actually make me happy today?
And then… I follow it.

Whether it’s embracing my natural curls, allowing myself a much needed rest day when tired, choosing meals I enjoy that are aligned with my goals.

It also meant reminding my clients that health isn’t about forcing yourself into routines or meals you hate. You deserve to enjoy your life and feel good in your body. Find foods you genuinely love that align with your goals — not punishment disguised as discipline.

You don’t have to shrink, change, or perform to be accepted. You just have to come home to yourself.

Live your life on your terms. Authentically. Fully. Unapologetically 🤍

☕ Ever wondered how decaf coffee can still taste amazing?

Not all decaf is created equal. Some coffee is decaffeinated using chemical solvents, but others use a much cleaner method called the Swiss Water Process.

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Green (unroasted) coffee beans are soaked in hot water, releasing caffeine and flavor compounds.
2️⃣ The water is passed through a carbon filter that removes only the caffeine.
3️⃣ The remaining liquid — now full of coffee flavor — is reused to gently remove caffeine from fresh beans while keeping the taste intact.

The result?
✔ 99.9% caffeine removed
✔ No chemicals
✔ Rich coffee flavor still preserved

One interesting detail: caffeine itself is naturally bitter. Removing it can actually make some decaf coffees taste smoother and less harsh than regular coffee.

So if you love coffee but want less caffeine, look for “Swiss Water Processed” on the bag.

Your future self (and your sleep) might thank you. ☕✨

More meal-prep ideas and recipes 😋 I love this one. Each container gives me 3 portions. But here’s the recipe breakdown for each portion:

✅Approx 1 cup Plain 0% Greek yogurt
✅1 tbsp organic honey
✅1 tbsp vanilla extract
✅1 tsp cinnamon
✅1/2 cup mixed berries!

I leave them in the fridge and once the fruit thaws, I mixed them together. Yum! That’s 25 grams of protein! Note: I’m not recommending this specific yogurt brand, any 0% plain Greek yogurt is good! I’m lactose intolerant so I bought this one. Enjoy and thank me later 😊

If you need personalized support, you can book an appointment via the link in my bio! My services are covered under health benefits if you have coverage for a Registered Dietitian! 🥳

Your body has been fasting all night.
Before the coffee. Before the chaos.

Start with lemon water 🍋💧

It hydrates, supports digestion, and gently wakes up your system — without spiking stress hormones first thing in the morning.

Simple habits > extreme detoxes.

Consistency is the glow-up. And how cute is this cup I got from Dollarama? 😂 Glass > Plastic

When I was in grade 9, I discovered my passion for nutrition and helping people. I went to the University of Alberta, where I completed my educational requirements to become a Registered Dietitian (RD). I worked in different areas of dietetics, from which I learned several skills (check my “about me” section on my blog site for detailed information on my education and work experience). It has been a very rewarding experience as seeing people succeed is something that brings me much joy! I use a client-centered approach, which involves clients in their goal-setting and ensure my client-satisfaction by being professional, compassionate, adaptable and maintaining confidentiality. By using motivational interviewing strategies, my clients leave my office driven and ready to kill it!

I am also a Certified Craving Change Facilitator (Craving Change™), which means I use cognitive-behavioural (CBT) strategies to address emotional eating as well as behaviour change to enhance success. As of August of 2018, I also became a Certified Personal Trainer! I believe that diet, fitness and mental health all go hand in hand, which is where my three designations come in.
